FLORIDA HOUSE. Modernistic luxury in a design adapted to the unconventional freedom of living largely outdoors is shown in this house, not built to meet a budget but to present an ideal.

Spaciousness and freedom, with a minimum of household labor, is the object. From the front you enter a two-story living room with a ceiling-high studio window on that side, and on the left, a polished aluminum open stairway leading to the upper floor. The living room opens to the dining room on one side, and on the other, to a loggia overlooking the lake. The bathroom is a large, square room with plate glass partitions between the showers and the sunken tub. All the roof, except over the living room, is given to wide deck terraces to which one steps from m the airy bedrooms.

Interior decoration is in modern Victorian style, with specially designed furniture, and makes use of wall papers, appropriate drapery fabrics, and special indoor lighting effects.
