STAR-AIA AWARD WINNERS
Step-Soving House Has
Interior Service Core

Chapter. Americas Institute
Of Architects.
A big aim of the architect in
the design was to handle the
usual problems Of traffic inside
q house in a simple and direct
manner. The utility core plan
also aimed at economies In in
stalling heating and plumbing.
The floor plan on Page B-2
shows you how the architect
arranged different parts of the
house in relation to the en-
trance. and in relation to each
other.
The floor plan shows, for
example. that the entry leads
both direct to the living room
and also to q hall, affording
convenient access to kitchen,
bedrooms and bath without
having to cross into the living
area.
Another logical aspect of the
plan Is that the kitchen opens
into the dining area, making it
easy to serve meals with few
