Have you ever heard a
homeowner (perhaps YOU
say: Now why couldn't they
have done it this way?"
The they" in this case
refers to the builder; the sit"
to some particular part Of
the construction layout which
is not practical in actual
usage.
Poorly planned houses usu-
ally cost more to build, in
addition to the diminished
INABILITY value. An associate
editor of a building trade
magazine recently took six
typical builder house plans
and showed how an architect,
bringing his specialized skill
and training to the problem,
could meet the builders re-
quirementS and at the same
time produce a better plan.
The editor brings more than
armchair knowledge to the
subject, being both a regis
tered architect and a licensed
builder.
Six specific faults in home
design were criticized, with
demonstration of how alter
/ atoms in plan could improve

any basic changes in the ex-
terror treatment.
Here are the major flaws
noted. Anyone house-hunting
would be wise to keep them
in mind while shopping.
/. Useless outside corners
The example cited had IL need
less corners, each one boosting
construction costs by requiring
extra materials and extra la
Dor for cutting and fitting odd
size materials. Some of the
corners provided special win
dow effects, but most stemmed
simply from poor design.
Remedy consists mainly Of
Strengthening outside walls
to achieve clean rectangular
shape.
2. Highway in living room
The faulty design forced all
traffic entering at front door to
use living room to reach any
other section of the house. This
eliminates privacy. makes for a
complicated furniture arrange

Look Out for Pesky Home Flaws

very small house but not In one
with as much as l,450 square
feet. Remedy involves relocat-
ing entrance.
8. Lack of CHARACTERIZATION
of bedroom hallway to living
area sometimes makes 1t i'm
possible to move from a bed
room to bath without being
seen from most locations in
living room. Also, the arriving
guest at front door should not
have immediate view into liv-
ing sections of home. Remedy
consists Of better use of space
and proper location of sight
buffers.
4. Isolated kitchen-Some-
times the kitchen has a way
of becoming an afterthought
in a home plan. If it is
tucked away in a rear wing
with no ready access to front
door, no control over chill
dren's play areas, no handy
service entrance, it will not
be able to fill its modern
function as a control center.
Remedy is to move it more
to the center of things.
5. Absence of link to OUT
doors - A good indoor-out-
door relationship is one Of
the top sales features in to-
days market, but some plans
still make no provision for
outdoor relaxation. Remedy
is to place a formal or infor-
NAL living area at the rear of
the house, and connect it to
the outside with doors and
large glass areas.
6. Overcrowding-It is pos
sible to try to do too much
with the space at hand. A
dining room plus a separate
family room sounds gracious
