House of the Week Creative Terrace Flexibility
A design by architect Herman H. York features an all weather terrace that can be developed in multiple ways to suit a family's needs. The terrace is three sided, usable in cold weather with removable glass panels, and potentially enclosed on the fourth side to create a recreation room. A rear terrace can be roofed and screened as a porch. The home includes three bedrooms, living and dining rooms, a kitchen with dinette, an attached garage, and a full basement, with finishing work kept flexible to fit budget and ability.

Ceramic Tile Finds New Kitchen Role as Counter Surface
Ceramic tile now serves as a kitchen counter top with new epoxy adhesives and grouts. It tolerates heat, chemicals and stains, can be installed over solidly attached plywood, with epoxy setting material between sheets to prevent shifting. Epoxy mortar types AAR-11 and UG-II are used for setting and grouting, in two-part packages mixed before use.
Versatile split arrangement in accessible home layout
The living room centers on an eye catching fireplace while a foyer sliding door opens to a kitchen hub with terrace access. A service entry, rear yard kitchen, and accessible basement stairs optimize flow. Bedrooms are well ventilated with ample closets and a split bathroom echoes a private master bath at lower cost.
