As a small, single family residence, the compact floor plan provides ample space for the basics. The north entry vestibule leads to either the living room on the west or family-kitchen area on the east, or upstairs. The lower floor includes a laundry room and a small bath. Upstairs, a full size bath and study accompany the two bedrooms which share a common exterior lanai. The layout assures maximum privacy and noise isolation, either inside or out.
Every main room has three-way sunlight and ventilation, leaving no dark corners.
The interior stairwell, centrally located, also serves as a ventilation corridor. Windows in the upper eaves are permanently vented at the top to allow continuous air circulation. Louvers are placed strategically where air flow supersedes light requirements. Use of interior windows allows morning or afternoon light to reach most rooms. Structurally, steel reinforced concrete shear columns support a monolithically cast Lightweight Composite curvilinear roof and ceiling system which gives the dwelling a cooler feeling due to its high insulating qualities.
