Lindgren Family - Nutwood House - page 3

 [continued from page 2]

end of the room is glass through which sunlight filters high up at the ceiling level. Typical of open planning, this gives the interior an airy, high-flying quality that is a welcome variance from the boxed-in cubical that is the unhappy heritage of many old-fashioned bungalows.

     A room-length trough features concealed lighting and mechanism for forced air heat. This lighting trough is an extension of the dropped ceiling of the entry and the kitchen and adds an interesting change of ceiling level to the overall composition of the room.

     An open arch connects the kitchen with the living-dining area. The kitchen was planned within handy radius of the front door, an item of vast importance to Mrs. Lindgren, who spends much of her time in this pleasant meal-preparation center.

     The kitchen faces the front of the lot and a modern breakfast bar outfitted with squat modern stools enjoys a vista of the tree-lined road through its plate glass window. Natural birch cabinets combine with oatmeal flecked tile to present a completely neutral setting for any change-of-color scheme Mrs. Lindgren may wish to carry out

(Top picture, this page reads: "Open planning, natural woods and deeply overhanging roof lend a casual and rural appearance to the Garden Grove home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lindgren."

Bottom picture, this page reads: " A sweeping driveway will be installed at the front of the Lindgren home, to lead to a carport set over a slab of concrete, doubling as a dance floor.")
