And eliminates potential problems

Good design ensures comfortable living space A number of factors must be

considered by people preparing to design or purchase a home of any size. When money is an important factor, however, it becomes even more difficult to select a design suitable for living and entertain­ing — and meeting the future needs of a growing family.

There are four basic types of houses: the bungalow, the 1.5 storey home, two-storey house, and the split-level. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

The bungalow incorporates all habitable rooms on one level; there are no steps except those coming from a possible base­ment. Additions can often be made easily and inexpensively, due to the single level. This can be a disadvantage, however, from a heating standpoint, if the house spreads out too much. A bunga­low needs twice the roof and foundation size of a multiple-storey building.

The 1.5 storey house allows more floor space under almost the same amount of roof provided by a bungalow. It provides the opportunity to leave the second floor unfinshed for later develop­ment, and probably allows the greatest amount of floor space for the least capital expenditure. The design does require dormers, which can add to the cost.

The two-storey house can be advantageous on a narrow lot. They are compact, and therefore easy to heat. Small, two-storey houses tend to appear "boxy" because they are almost as wide as they are high. The design problem can be partially over­come by emphasizing horizontal lines.

The split-level combines some advantages of both the bungalow and two-storey design. Communi­cation remains easy as floors are separated by only six or seven steps; yet it provides greater seclusion for sleeping and living areas. While it can be used on a level lot, it is especially useful for solving problems imposed by sloping lots.

The sense of space in a small house is largely determined by

the size of the living room. It may be worth reducing other room dimensions to enlarge the living room. Combining a dining room of 100 square feet with a living room of 200 square feet allows for a large central space — even in a small house.

A long, narrow living room is harder to furnish than a square room. The plan should provide for unbroken wall areas to allow for placement of furnishings such as a chesterfield, piano or desk. The height of window sills also deter­mine the amount of available wall space.

A large window may not be appropriate unless the outside picture is aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, it may only bring street noise and gas fumes into the house. In this way, it is sometimes more advantageous to locate the living room at the back of the house.

There are also several items to remember when designing a mas­ter bedroom. The National Build­ing Code requires a minimum of 105 square feet for the master bedroom. In a small house, a minimum size might be consid­ered 120 square feet, a medium

size 150, and a generous square footage 180.

Design of this room should consider placement of doors and windows for the best possible ventilation; furniture placement should be planned in the early stages to determine location of electrical outlets. Where two adults are sharing a room, each should have closet space three feet wide, and two feet deep.

The National Building Code sets the minimum size for bed­rooms other than the master room at 75 square feet, but 100 square feet is a more desirable

estimate. Bunk beds may be used to

provide better playing and dress­ing area should two children share a room. Dividers on one side of the bottom bunk, and the opposite side of the top bunk, allow for better privacy. An alternative is to combine two bedrooms, allowing for a larger play area, and divide them at a later date. A good time to introduce children of opposite sexes to separate bedrooms is between eight and 10 years of age.

The kitchen is the most fre­quented and hardest used room in the house. It provides a base for most housework, is used for all aspects of food preparation, and may be the location for comple­tion of homework and hobbies.

The design is, therefore, im­portant. Three separate "work centres" — assembly, sink and cook — make for efficient use of space in the food preparation sequence. A triangular path con­necting these areas is recom­mended; distances between each centre should not be less than 12 feet, nor surpass 20.

The kitchen should be designed to allow more than one person to work at a time. Kitchens usually require two doors: one to the dining area and one as a service entrance.

In houses with bedrooms on two floors, the design should incorporate a bathroom on each. A duplication of some facilities is recommended for large families —i.e., a fully equipped bathroom in one location, plus a basin and toilet in another.

Ideally, the main bathroom should open off the same hall as the bedrooms. The area should be accessible to all parts of the house, so the individual does not have to pass through other rooms, such as the living room, to reach it.

The location and design of a house will, in some ways, shape the lives of family members. Careful designing can eliminate some of the problems inherent in a small house.
