In a 1%-storey house the roof space, which is often unusuéd in a bungalow or two-storey house, is utilized to provide one or two bed- rooms. If a similar amount of space is provided in a bungalow, in- creased foundation, roof and ex- terior wall construction is neces- sary and building costs are sub- stantially increased.

A ground floor bedroom can then be used as a dining room. In comparison with a two-storey dwell- ing, a 1%-storey house will prove less expensive providing the own- er does not attempt to utilize in the second floor more than 75 per- cent of the ground floor area. When the percentage is greater, con- struction costs soon exceed the cost of a two-storey dwelling having the same area because expensive Dor- mers and a general breaking up of the roof will be nece . No matter which type of house is built, the prospective home- owner should consider the economy of a design which is as close to a square as possible. This is easily explained by comparing & square and a rectangle which enclose the same area. The latter will have a greater perimeter and will there- fore require greater excavation, foundation and root construction.
