The steel structure of this small house is a new development of the "moduplan" system of the building developed by Eugene Memmler. In this case the problem was a hill site that which before had presented seemingly insoluble problems. The building itself will be so light in weight that it will rest on a minimum number of caissons or foundation piers. The building will be seemingly float over a restricted land area and project itself freely into the surrounding view of the sea and mountains.
In plan it is economical and well organized; an entry being the center from which all areas are freely reached but all interdependent from one another. The upper level will contain principal living and working areas plus two bedrooms; the lower will have one bedroom and a bath and a large enclosed service area. The structure is tied to its rather precarious site through the use of stone walls which on the street side will enclose a carport and patio.

The designer has used Uskon electrical radiant heating panels system which with its individual room controls should prove effect and economical. Placed within the actual room, but not incorporated as a part of the materials of it, this system will deliver heat where it is needed quickly without being dissipated within the walls, ceiling or floor slab. This house, nearing completion, will be shown in a subsequent issue.
