PLOT PLAN SHOWS. POSITION OF HOUSE Design of Surroundings Often Overlooked in Planning Home Hardly any phase of building re ceives so little attention beforé- hand as the plot plan and the reia- tion of the structure to its sur roundings. The house ig#fa blue print to most persons, and how it - will look in its actual location is neglected. The plot plan locates the house upon the lot. But this cannot be done without designing the entire space--including and placing all the things that the finished home may need. One should not place a" house without knowing where the-drive is to be, nor even design it without this knowledge, because the kitchen should be on the driveway side and the coa] chute also. One should not: place a porch or terrace without knowing where the outside areas will be to which they are supposed to relate. Too long have we thought that a plot plan van come after]. building, when, as a matter of fact, its greatest usefulness is over. If a lot is wide, the house should-| not be placed in the centre, buat close to the driveway so that an area as large as possible will ré<- main on the side of the | living - room. In this case the principal windows of the living room should face this outlook. If the major outside area is to the rear, the "main openings in the living room should face that way. The "service" drive, garage and drying space should be arranged as compactly as possible. The drive, in order not to interfere with the _ other uses of the rear lawn, shou'd reach the garage as directly as possible. Too often the garage is misplaced. A large part of the pleasure of suburban living comes from _ the out-of-doors; hence the value of designing it. Every home owner should recognize this fundamental fact and plan his house and grounds as one unit. His front yard should provide a setting for the house, and it should also add to the beauty and harmony of the street picture; his backyard should be an_ out-door living room in fact, providing for the recreational demands of the entire family. Such results can only be accomplished by thoughtful planning before building and then artistic planting---Copyright 1930.
