Modern Homes . Make Better Use of Space

If you live in a home of “contemporary design’ today you are getting more livability for your money, according to the Housing Research Foundation of the Southwest Research Institute, These “modern” homes are deto get the most efficient use possible from the available space, and are planned to conform with the modern family’s living habits, C. W, Smith, Director of the Foundation, reports, Because houses are smaller, interior partitions are more frequently “non-load bearing,” which means they don't have to support the roof or any other part of the house and are used principally to enclose space for privacy, Mr, Smith said. This trend is being speeded by increased use of roof trusses—the bulk of the roof's weight rests on the outer walls and corners of the house. Economy in "construction is achieved this way by putting up the ceiling materials before the interior walls are installed. It also allows more flexible design because partitions need not placed within the limitations dictated by load bearing requirements, Walls can be placed where they are desired, or can he left out altogether to achieve “open planning.” Often the useless or obstructing partition has been replaced by millwork closets .and chests of drawers and shelves which form cabinet or storage walls. These handy cabinets give much more convenience and more appropriateistorage space than is usually provided in closets. They generally eliminate the necessity for ‘home owners buying certain items of furniture, such as chests and wardrobes separately,
