HINTS IN PUNNING

In planning consider your lot and adapt your house to it. Plan the living room, dining room, and kitchen at leapt, for pleasant and preferred exposure, for they are the daylight rooms. Take advantage of natural views and vistas that may be seen from your lot and arrange for them to be visible from some pleasant spot in the house. If your lot is wooded, retain as many attractive trees as you can and as much natural environment as possible. If the lot is level, plan terraces; if sloping sharply, arrange pleasant looms in the basement. Again —adapt the house to the lot. Draw sketches, build paper models, study incessantly and be ever on the lookout for good practical ideas. Select an architectural style and follow it. If possible secure the services of an architect, for he will work your rough ideas into a smooth, practical drawing. If the services of an architect are not available, then select a good intelligent contractor, and let him help you. Whatever your action—let it he after much study and consideration of the problems confronting your particular needs.
