The Universal pool, installed with filler system, costs from $2,817 for the model below to $4,720, depending on the size chosen. The third area, the bedroom wing, gives each member of the family a private retreat. The long glass walls that open the bedroom wing and family room to the rear terrace, above, and the terrace itself are essential elements in the success of the plan.
The Architect’s Collection is a library of Scholz Design home designs ranging from around 2,000 to over 7,000 sq. Designs are offered in several styles and configurations, including options for finished basements. Each of our home plans can becustomizedto your specific needs. Mr. Henry is the C.E.O. of a high fashion menswear boutique located in the Arts District of Los Angeles. He is in need of an apartment that serves as a space for hosting events, such as clothing line previews for high end clientele.

Lighting over the kitchen area is supplied by a dropped ceiling of luminous panels. The package included the walls (factory-made panels consisting of framing, Johns-Manville sheathing and siding, door and window frames) and pre-cut framing for the roof. Living room is set apart from the main stream of household traffic, and can be enlarged by its own separate patio. In this room the whole family can entertain, and adults can find quiet there when teen-agers are whooping it up in the family room. Sliding window panels extend the dining room’s visual boundaries to the lush planting at the front of the house.
The Donna and David Woodruff, 202 Hillcrest Road, Trent Woods NC. Addition on the rear. Since you first saw this cupboard in March 1959, it has been duplicated in homes all over the country from instructions prepared by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Three walls of the room were painted Crystal Pink; a fourth is papered in a pink and red check, an effective foil for the classically simple double bed and its polka-dotted coverlet. All the bedrooms share a separate wing away from the buzz of family life so that everyone is free to enjoy peace, quiet and privacy. The most cherished room in the house to many a family in its blossoming years is an all-round room where children who are almost grown can work and play together. The fun-to-cook-in kitchen, for the woman who likes to be in the thick of things while she works, is installed within the boundaries of a U-shaped counter.

The Edna Williams House, 4703 Trent River Drive, Trent Woods NC. Built by Robert H. Stephens. H&G’S OWN LINEN CLOSET was built into the bedroom hall, next to the children’s bath, and stocked with Fieldcrest sheets and towels. Within the dressing room, two washbasins are sunk into a single long countertop of Macassar-ebony pattern Formica with a kneehole space below for sit-down primping. More than 10 feet of closet space is concealed behind mirrored sliding doors, below. The bathrooms are flooded with light from luminous ceilings.
In common with other Scholz models, the Mark 58 reflects the design flair of Don Scholz, manufacturer of components for the houses. Scholz uses dramatic balconies, vaulted exposed beam ceilings, paneled recreation rooms, and large floor-to-ceiling glass walls. It was designed by the Kuehn Malvezzi architectural office.

His company was sold but continues to design homes under the name Scholz Design. The interior is precisely planned to hold all the linens and other supplies needed for all bedrooms and baths in the house, yet the whole unit is only 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 8-1/2 feet tall. In the laundry beyond, all equipment is installed against one wall, leaving plenty of space for shedding wet bathing suits and storing pool and patio accessories. THE LAVATORY and adjoining laundry are readily accessible from family room, terrace, garage, dining room — a wonderful convenience in a busy household.
The teak pattern in sheet form covers the lavatory counter. H&G covered the walls with random widths of blue and white Formica to echo the color scheme of the dining room. We decided to keep the floor free of rugs, but covered it with vinyl-coated cork tiles that absorb sound and show few scratches.

The mosaic-patterned vinyl floor tile, like all floor tile in the house, is made by Armstrong. Integration of house and site is achieved by use of outdoor terraces and glass walls to bring the outdoors in, and relate the structure to its setting. Scholz started his first construction firm in Toledo in 1946 with a force of five people, and had been building colonial-type houses. So other builders were surprised and amused when he started 600 California contemporary homes in Toledo upon returning from his trip. But the approximate price of $39,000 in low-cost building areas to $45,000 in high-cost areas is for the complete house except for terrace, patio, landscaping and lot itself.
It bathes the foyer in alternating colors of light with the aid of modern RGB lighting technology. And at the other end of the entrance foyer is a separate dining room. Coinciding with Scholz’ 70th anniversary, through Friday, September 2, all Scholz home plans are $100 off during our Summer of Scholz promotion. Four Scholz designs are featured in this month’s Builders Toolbox and there are hundreds more to view on our website, where you’ll be treated to stunning exteriors and beautiful interior photos for several of the designs. You’ll also see the latest Scholz designs, most of which are under 4,000 square feet, incorporating exciting new concepts. Some of the new designs are so new they’re “On-The-Board” , which are not even through the drafting stage yet.
Scholz claims to have perfected “custom-prefab” engineering. Wall panels, roof trusses, interior partitions and other component parts are manufactured by production line methods with power tools and precision jigs at the Scholz plant in Toledo, and assembled at the site. In this respect, the Forest Hills house differs from the Mark 58 as featured in House Beautiful magazine. Color pictures in the June issue of the magazine show a basementless version. Peterson Realty company, sales agent for Forest Hills, has arranged an elaborate open house presentation.
One-story high, it spreads out in an L shape and wraps around a wonderful poolside terrace. So when we accepted an invitation to furnish and decorate the model built at the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton, Fla., we visualized a flourishing family with teenagers as its future occupants. In many older houses with conventional, box-like interiors, these requirements conflict because the two generations are always in each other’s laps.
This room has a built-in barbecue, a snack bar and an adjoining lavatory that doubles as a bath house for the pool. The sleeping wing includes three bedrooms, a dressing room-bath and patio for the parents, another bath for the children, and 40 feet of window wall overlooking the pool and terrace. The house was planned and produced by Scholz Homes, Inc., a national manufacturer of houses with considerable knowledge of the needs of most homeowners.
To set the table, opposite page, we used Wallace’s “Discovery” sterling, a pattern congenial to both traditional and contemporary design; Royal China’s “Viking” dinnerware to pick up the predominant colors of the room. Thus quantity production has brought the advantages of expert planning, built-in conveniences, fine equipment and materials within reach of a much wider public, at a much lower price tag. The plan makes handsome provision for both parents and children.
