The New York herald., 1921-10-30

Failure to properly consider the site
and the layout Of the ground In rela-
ton to roadways, paths. service yard,
terraces. lawns. gardens and outbuild-
ings has been the cause of many seri-
GUS defects In the design of American
small homes, because of the fact that
many Of these items have great deal
to do with determining the essential
location of the main rooms and en-
frances of the house. 1t seems consist
ent, therefore, to study both the plan of
the lot and the plan or the house at the
same time.
Before considering too carefully the
details Of the interior arrangement OF
the house It might be well to consider
whether there are fundamental defects
in both design and plan that have be-
come accepted as standard when they
might be improved. These questions may
seem more or less remote from the tech
nical side Of architecture. Yet at the
present time It seems advisable to give
them full emphasis. This might be re-
garded In the nature of a test In order
to ascertain whether present house de-
signs meet fully the modern conditions
and demands made upon them. both as
to utility and economics.
The plan is the most important fea-
ture in any architectural composition.
without a proper plan II is impossible
except by forced designing to obtain
satisfactory architectural design for the
exterior. Since 1t is more or less difficult
for the average client to read a plan 1t
Is hardly expected that he Will analyze
the entire scheme sufficiently to grasp
tho details Of practical arrangement, con-
struction and mechanical appliances to
see II they are combined with proper
architectural design. The architect Is
influenced In his design by the character
Of the site and it's surroundings. That
Is house may be very simple In design
with warm stucco walls as illustrated
here, relieved by q background OF
foliage, or 1t may be a house having
strong features, more or less dramatic
in character. standing out prominently
from its surroundings. The latter can
hardly be considered to-day, since our
houses are being built in groups for the
sake Of economy and therefore are but
units in the neighborhood, and it Is
necessary that these units harmonize
with each other rather than to have each
with an individuality that forms too
strong contrast. This Is perhaps
illustrated In America best by some Of
the recent real estate developments in
the vicinity Of New York, where the
charm of the houses produces an effect Of
harmony which has not been ruined by
the introduction Of houses OF freak
design. When we begin to approach the
designing Of houses from this angle we
approach very closely to the American
ideal. The war has only served to ac-
centuate our national characteristics and
to strengthen many Of these we'll de-
fined traditions.
The average American family de-
mands much more Of house, far more.
