There are two methods Of designing
house so that 1t will have sufficient
capacity to meet the needs for which
1t Is required. One method is to pro-
portion the size of and number Of
rooms to the special requirements of
the case. The other is to utilize certain
of the space for two or more purposes
and thus obtain the same results with
a lesser actual floor area. Home equip
ment designed for the purpose Of saw
Ing space has been and Is being devel-
Oped with success because of the fact
that its need is urgent, calling forth
the efforts Of exceptionally ingenious
men to meet the need.
Suppose, for instance we consider
how it may be possible to realize the
same utility out of a house of three
rooms which might be expected of a
house Of five rooms. Naturally, this
requires that two of the rooms in our
three-room house be so constructed
and equipped that each will success
fully provide every useful quality Of
the corresponding room which has
