Th* luxury of spii.3, privacy,
&nd good looks at ttie lowest
po iible cost was the architect's
^oal in plann.iig this unusual
iplit-level house. j
Its designer. Rudolph Matern,
of Jamaica, N. V., calls it a i
".split level in reverse." The
hout£e has a luxurious 2-story
appearance from the street, yet
it incorporates sueh split-level
advantage- as compact space,
lower bu>ldirig and maintenance
cutis, and more convenient room
arrangement.
On the outside, Matern has
given the house an appearance
of greater length by combining
a low-pitched roof with broad
clapboard siding and by flanking
the v.-indow.' with louver shut-
ters of pondero«a pine.
' The prr'ntfct specified asphalt
shingles to give the home-owner
economy and dependability, plus
a wide choice ot colors. In addi-
tion. the asphalt shingles can be
applied safely on the low pitch
of both the "hockey stick" roof
over the main house and the
hip-style roof on the combina-
tion parr.gc-cntryway.
Inside, the house is full of sur-
prises It has a big living room
with exp'-sed-beam ceiling, a
fireplace hollowed out of a wall
of bricks, a room-long wall of
windows at the rear, and a floor,
to-ceilnig window at the side.
There are two full bathrooms,
a lavatory ofT the entrance foyer,
a 15-foot kitchen with breakfast
nook, and an extra living room
that can be used as a den or TV
room.
It's a house designed for com-
fort. and in keeping with this
theme Matern has specified thick
mineral wool insulation through-
out—four inches in ceilings over
the upper level and in the slop-
ing ceiling over the lower level
areas at the rear, plus three
inches in walls. As the plan
shows, a portion of the un-
heated garage is located under
the sleeping level. Here the floor
| doini! so. he protects and preserves
his capital investment which other-
| w ise may seriously deteriorate over
; a period of time.
j In the last few years, many new
products have become available
that were practically undreamed
i oi a decade ago. They are betnn us - j
i e<l increasingly to transform older i
i homes into new standards of livi- j
; bility At the same time, older pn ;
. ducts such as rootiim. sidinu and
I combination windows and doors
i have been vastly improved o v e r j
j those tormerh used New r o I o r
| combinations and designs in these
. items hold a greater incentive than
was ever before ottered to modern-
") i/e the older home
Tin- do-it-yourself" idea has be-
1 come an important pattern in many
j homes, and rightly so: it means
! iiuentiiitf experimenting and usiim
i special skills or avocation in oui
pisfiine. In the held of home im-
provements its application is limit-
| ed and the limitations are rather
strict, dictated by considerations
' ot safety, professional know ledge
■and preservation of property value.
Common sense and knowledge
! will make most home owners stop
and think betore they decide to take
matters in their own hands, climb
up on the root lor repairs, apply
' siding material or install storm win-
dows or jalousies themselves. Most
impiovcmcnts require special In-
1 struments. know-how of treatment
{and application ol materials, and
precision performance of which on-
h a professional is capable. An im-
portant part of home improvement
, w ork is service after completion:
id just merits i r corrections be*-

directly over the garage would
be insulated with a 2-inch thick-
ness of mineral wool.
If the foundation slab is built
at ground level, a special type
of mineral wool should be in-
stalled around the edges of the
slab.
The house may be built on a
lot as small as 65 by 100 feet.
