"As you step inside, a hall
to your right leads to the kitchen; straight ahead is the
entrance to the living room. The ceiling rises upward
toward the window walls, opening the room to the outdoors."

"But you get the fish-bowl
feeling, for the sandstone walls and massive fireplace give
you a solid sense of shelter. Triangular stone hood on the
fireplace echoes the design of the unusual piano niche on
the opposite wall. The pattern of the boards adds interest
to the ceiling, and extends through the walls to the wide
overhang, stressing the indoor-outdoor unity of design that
is basic in this house. At left is the dining area - you can
see the built-in oven of the kitchen in the background."

"Compact kitchen is
functionally open to the living-dining area, yet a divider
conceals the refrigerator (at left), and suggests
separation. Window over the sink at right opens on the porch
and back yard terrace." Page 27. |

|
"Open shelves above
divider handsomely display glass collection without shutting
off light from window wall in living room. Storage in
kitchen, as throughout house, is carefully planned for
maximum usefulness. Stainless steel sink (foreground) has a
garbage disposal unit." Page 27. |

"You can have pleasant
outdoor living the year round in a porch that extends into a
terrace. Light floods it from glass-and-beams ceiling above,
wall of glass doors at left. (Screens replace glass in
summer.) From here, light brightens kitchen and whole
interior." Page 27. |

"Quintin's and Ruth's
bedroom has high, narrow glass inserts for light. Handy
built-in bookshelves contribute architectural interest. Desk
was designed by Mr. Wright. Out of picture at right are two
closets, at left the door to bathroom and storage wall shown
below." Page 70. (Looking toward the west corner.) |

"Lighting in bathroom is
provided by large dome skylight. Idea for bulbs around
mirror was borrowed from stage dressing rooms - they give
even, natural light. Wide folding door at left is made from
boards joined by piano hinges; it lets light in from the
porch." Page 70. (Looking toward the south.) |
