A good house is one of life‘s most satisfying investments. You cannot perform an operation and "jerryâ€"builders‘" cannot design a house. The better the archiâ€" tect, the more care he will give a small house design. Any really fine archiâ€" tect will tell vyou a good small house is the hardest job in the world.

In such rooms where t toO tlaKke siice tnrough UNne nouse paraiâ€" lel with the ground and look at what we call the plan. And it should be a plan. What is the purpose? Essentially a conventionally planned house in which to live. I don‘t care whether it‘s modern or Chinese or Julias Caesar. The modern tendency is to ppen up the plan. Large openings may connect the principal rooms. The living room may be separated from the dining room with accordion doors or shutters. Or you may wish a cloistered plan. Rooms may be sound deadened and very private. Don‘t cross your "circulation" if posâ€" sible. This is difficult in a small house, but try to keep the three elements: 1, Entertaining; 2, Service; 3, Living secâ€" tion, separate enough so you won‘t have to pass through the kitchen to get to a bedroom and avoid any other awkward manoecuver. By all means study â€" your furniture arrangement. Study it carefully. Don‘t crowd the furâ€" niture. Study the "balance" of the furâ€" niture arrangement. Not all the furâ€" niture should jamb against one wall. Allow for distributed placement. And the greatest of all study "econoâ€" my"â€"economy of space, economy of steps you will have to take. Make every f00t coulit,. The fenestration or window arrangeâ€" ment is as important on the interior as Don‘t be too grand with a small house. All of these apparently caustic somewhat Hibernian outbursts over "jerry buildirg" have been aimed mostâ€" ly at exteriors. Let‘s go in the interior to take a slice through the house paralâ€" lel with the ground and look at what 1n By all means there shou plicity. Don‘t try to crowd tricky you ever saw or read one small composition. To Ruskinian rumblings inio sentence: There should be "scincerity." and "decency‘ suggest low of the hous rounding it Another rule is that the house or composition must have "character." If it has character it will be interesting. It should express the character of its designer, the pseople who are to live in the house; the contour of the surâ€" rounding country, the hills, the general feeling (if you will) of its surroundings. Jagged steep mountain peaks at the back door might suggest jJagged steep roof lines. A low rolling country would suggest low eave lines:; the silhouette colours in ors small house. Even the colour scheme of the planting must have simplicity and certainly unityâ€" not just a clump of palm trees here, and weeping willows there with red, blue and yellow flowers and magneta bougainvillea all matted in clumps and weep blue and bougainvil without rt bougainvillea all maltted in ciumps without rhyme or reason. I don‘t think I‘m overdoing it when I say proper landscaping is half the battle. It would be better to leave out the landscaping altogether than to spoil a wellâ€"designed small house with improper advances. three: scale, proportion and unity? "Interest" is possibly the next. I don‘t mention it first because ‘"interest" is ofen confused with "cuteness." The colour scheme must be interestâ€" ing and usually simple. Not too many colours in ore small house.
