CHAPTER III 

 LOCATING THE HOUSE 



IT has seemed to the writer that mistakes are made less often, by 

 the home owner, in the selection of a suitable location for the 

 house than in any other phase of home development. When it 

 comes to locating the house on the lot there seems to be an intuition 

 which instinctively draws one to the most acceptable site. It is equally 

 true that often when the opportunity of doing something extremely fine 

 presents itself the opportunity is seldom seized. The greatest mistake 

 on the part of the home owner seems to be not so much in locating the 

 house properly, but rather in planning the house with reference to the 

 site so that the two will bear proper relation to each other; thus afford- 

 ing a congruent and efficient arrangement. The location of the house 

 upon the property is of fundamental importance, for when the house is 

 located the various areas about the house are automatically determined. 

 As it is the arrangement of the house, as well as its location, that 

 determines these areas, it is equally and fundamentally important to 

 consider the outside arrangement and views in planning the arrangement 

 of the rooms.
