Chinese Modern with refinement and flavor
of the old world orient is revealed in this
interesting home.
Smooth lines with oriental decor combine
to give it a very pleasant sparkle.
Wide overhanging eaves and wooden
lovers give the illusion of being closer to
the ground.
The crystal brightness of the crushed white
ceramic on the low-pitched roof has function as well as beauty since its reflection
qualities serve to protect the house from
the hot sun.
The U-shaped structure embraces a private yard for outdoor living and places
the den, or study, in a section of its own.
This is an ideal arrangement with living,
working and sleeping areas each in their
own district.
Much closet and cupboard space has
been provided along with every modern
convenience.
Decorating this superb home could be an
exciting adventure if given a delicate
touch of Chinese -- just enough to capture
the mysterious beauty of things oriental.
Love the first two, for very different reasons. #1 harkens back to my teen years as a budding architect when I would pour over these floorplan magazines, dreaming of well...my dream house! I like #2 because it's of a design and scale I could see us living in today.
ReplyDeleteThe third one was very common where I grew up. That first one? Wow. That's a lot of house.
ReplyDeleteTotally love mid-century modern!
ReplyDeleteLove #2--Especially how the bedrooms are on the other side of the house away from activity---Also the hallway to the bedrooms are closed off from the house---I had a friend in LA who had a setup similar to this----I loved how the bedroom side of the house was closed off from the main house---The hallway was hidden----You could enter at the entry of the house or and the end-----
