The house is long and narrow with  exterior wood cladding, large wood windows and a flat sloped roof.

The scale of the house is nice with exposed framing members, vertical wood siding and full height glass windows in the living room.

The interior maintains it original globe pendant light and the angles glass at the vaulted ceiling. We will install new wood flooring at the concrete slab floor.

Early in his career,  Cliff May employed a colleague, Chris Choate to produce architectural renderings. In 1952 May and Choate designed, copyrighted, and marketed the 'Low-Cost House Building System,' a kit of parts (pre-cut lumber, wall panels, prefabricated utility, and bathroom units) with surprising success. Designs were sold to developers for $225 to $300 a house, and factories found to manufacture the parts. The modular houses ranged from 750-1,100 square feet.

The house has plenty of shade from the mature trees on the site with a long sloping roof which keeps the inside of the house cool.

The original gravel roof can be seen in this image. The chimney is not original to the house, we will remove and replace this.

The space behind the house and the garage is a small courtyard which we will improve as the master bedroom patio area. We will replace the back doors with hardwood doors with a glass inlay to bring more natural light into the back bedroom.

The garage uses wood louvers for natural light and cooling. Of course, we will maintain this detail.

This is the interior of the garage showing the louver and exposed rafters.
