HOMES for CANADIANS

FOREWORD

THERE has long been an urgent demand in Canada

for new,. attractive designs of low or moderate-cost

houses suited especially to the Canadian way of living.

The purpose of "Homes for Canadians" is, in part,

to help meet this demand and to provide the pro­

spective house builder with general information on

financing, costs, site selection, construction standards

and planning.

This book is divided into three sections. The first

contains a broad discussion of the above-mentioned

subjects. The second presents 30 new designs for

essentially Canadian homes. The third contains de­

signs submitted by prize winners in the recent Cana­

dian Small Homes Competition.

It is our hope that "Homes for Canadians" will help

to meet an ever-increasing demand for information of

this kind.

BUILDING YOUR HOME BUILDING a home is one of the truly eventful experiences-of family life.

Whether the decision be taken by young married couples plan~ ning for the future, by tenants who now require more than shelter for the rent they payor by families who have doubled up with others for far too long, it is a momentous one. Often, it is the culmination of years of hope and sacrifice.

Home-building signifies many things-a lasting source of. hap­piness, a kindly environment in which to raise children, a closer tie with community life, ia new stake in the land.

To assure any or all of these, financing must be regarded as an integral part of the planriing and building. Properly approached from a financial standpoint, home­ownership can bring satisfaction. Improperly approached, it can be­come a burden. A house which a family cannot afford can never be a home.

If, in your eagerness to build a house, you contract to, pay more than you are able, you cannot stop payments and let the property go. You are liable for the entire amount of the mortgage. If you cannot sell the house for enough to pay it off,

you still owe the difference be­tween the sale price and the amount of your mortgage indebt­edness.

So vital is the problem of home­ownership that no one should con- . template it without first making a careful appraisal of all the factors involved.

For example, it is incorrect to assume that a house can always be sold easily or that all of the money invested can be realized at any time if the family decides to move. A home is an investment as well as a purchase of shelter; but a house, like any other physical asset, is subject to deterioration and obsolescence.

Three major considerations in­fluence and, in large measure, determine future values. Perhaps the most important is the proper choice of a site. Unless the site you select is suitable for the type of house you propose to build and is protected by adequate zon­ing ordinances which are strictly enforced, the value of your prop­erty may drop sharply.

It is therefore essential that the . location of your house be studied

carefully with a view to determin­ing the type and future growth of the community, and that a thorough

investigation be made into existing zoning regulations and any other factors which might influence de­velopment of the neighborhood.

The second factor is the design of your -house-not only a logical and adequate plan but the degree to which its external appearance fits in with other houses in the community. At all costs avoid "ap­plied decoration": you date your house and from that moment obso­lescence becomes effective.

Thirdly, to avoid excessive main­tenance costs, care should be taken in the selection of building mate-

NATIONAL HOUSING ACT

The objective of the National Housing Act is to assist the Cana­dian who wishes to own his own home, by

• Insisting on a minimum stand­ard of construction with a view to improving housing in Canada.

• Assuring that he will pay no more than 4Y2% interest per an­num (calculated semi-annually) on any money borrowed under the Act.

• Enabling the borrower to pay for his home by convenient monthly payments comparable to rent.

• Offering a longer period for repayment than is normally allowed.

• Reducing the down payment which 'he borrower must make.

rials. Do not attempt to cover up sound structural materials that .:will resist wear and weather. If neces­sary, decorate construction but do not construct decoration.

If your house is properly located on a well protected site, is of moderate, pleasing design and built of the proper materials, you have made a good long-term in­vestment for you will have done everything humanly possible to avoid the loss which can so easily result from neglect of these three basic considerations.

The basis on which the National Housing Act operates is a system of joint loans. They are called joint l'Oans because 25% of the money borrowed is furnished by Central Mortgage and Housing Corpora­tion and 75% by an approved lending institution, i.e., mortgage or insurance company. Joint loans are made by and through the lend­ing institutions.

How to Apply lor a Loon The first step is to see or write

to the nearest representative of an approved lending institution or to the branch office of Central Mort­gage and Housing Corporation in your area. You will be given copies of a Questionnaire (Form CMHC· 23) . This should be filled out in

duplicate and forwarded to an approved lending institution.

If your project seems satisfac~ tory, you will receive the necessary Application Form (CMHC-70). This must also be sent to the lending institution, and not to the Corpora­tion. With your application you must submit details of the lot on which you propose to build, plans and specifications for the house and an estimate of the cost of the' completed project.

If you are planning to apply for a joint loan, first consider carefully the following three points:

1. Plans and specifications must be approved before construction is started, both by Central Mort­gage and Housing Corporation and by the lending institution. The latter will forward them for you to the nearest branch office of the Corporation.

2. Applicants for joint loans must have an equity, or down pay­ment, which is the difference be~ tween -the cost of the completed project and the loan.

3. Present conditions inevitably affect both the cost and type of construction.

The Lot If you have not already pur­

chased a lot, it is suggested that you first discuss its suitability with the lending institution with which you propose to deal. You may, if you wish, purchase your lot or you may take an option on it pending

approval of the loan. You must, however, own the lot before con­struction is started.

The Loan

Joint loans are usually made for a period of 20 years from the date of completion of the house, with interest payable at the rate of 4Y2% per annum, calculated semi-annu­ally: In certain circumstances, this term may be extended. Only under special conditions are they made for a period of less than 20 years. . Monthly repayments by the bor­rower include principal, interest and one-twelfth of the estimated annual municipal and school taxes. Dates for the commencement of repayment of principal will be specified in the mortgage, but payment of interest and taxes will start not later than two months after the property has been completed.

The amount to be borrowed de­pends on the lending value of the proposed property. Lending value consists of estimated cost of con­struction (including land) or the appraised value of the house (in­cluding land), whichever is the lesser. Lending value does not necessarily represent the owner's cost. In fact, unless the house is properly located in a zoned or restricted residential district, ef­ficiently planned and of pleasing appearance, built of appropriate materials and not over-priced, its lending value will not equal the cost.

COST AND FINANCING PROBLEMS How much can a person afford

to spend on building a home or purchasing a newly built home through the medium of an N.H.A. Loan?

A commonly used rule·of·thumb is that a maximum of one-quarter of one's income may be paid out for heated housing accommoda­tion. In actual fact, the maximum amount that a prospective home­owner can spend for a house de­pends entirely on his personal" circumstances. He may have other obligations that will not permit him to spend one-quarter of his income for this purpose. On the other hand, a person living in a small community where living costs are low may safely spend some­what more.

One simple, .but sound, ap­proach to this problem is to sit down and calculate exactly how much a month you can safely count on setting by for purchase and maintenance of housing ac­commodation. This is easily arrived at by deducting from your monthly income all your expenses and obli­gations, except any of the following charges that you are now paying: Rent, taxes, fire insurance, main­tenance and repairs, heating and water costs. What is left is the amount per month that you can safely spend on housing accom­modation.

The next step is to locate this figure in the left-hand column of the table set out on page 5. The amounts on a line to the right of this figure are the approximate lending values and maximum loans that the money you can spend on housing accommodation will permit. You will note that these figures vary, depending on whether you payoff the loan in IS, 20, or 25 years.

In using this table two Jthings must be remembered:

1. The "Monthly Amount for Housing" will not only cover re­payment of the loan, but also taxes, repairs and maintenance, heat, water, fire insurance, and three per cent interest on the sum which represents the difference between the lending value of the house and the amount 9f the loan (which sum you yourself must be prepared to contribute in cash):

2. The "lending value" does not necessarily represent the actual cost of the house: The cost may exceed the lending value, especi­ally at the present time when material and labour costs are high. You must, therefore, be pre­pared to pay in cash the amount by which the actual cost exceeds the lending value (if any), as well as the equity referred to previ-ously. '

EXAMPLES OF MONTHLY HOUSING COSTS FOR 20-YEAR LOANS

The following examples of average total monthly housing costs have been worked out on a basis of 20-year amortization which allows 20 years for the repay­ment of both principal and interest of the mortgage loan:

Lending Value ........ $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 $8,000

Maximum N.H.A. Loan 4,300 5,000 5,700 6,400

Equity (down payment) 700 1,000 1,300 1,600

Payments Per Month ... $27.11 $31.52 $35.93 $40.35

Equity Interest Recovery 1.75 2.50 3.20 4.00

Insurance. . . . . . . . . . . . 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00

Taxes ................ 10.00 12.00 14.00 16.00

Maintenance & Repair 6.25 7.50 8.75 10.00

Heat & Water ......... 7.50 9.00 10.50 12.00

Total Monthly Cost .... $53.86 $64.02 $74.13 $84.35

There will be instances where a summary of the foregoing costs shows that your particular case is above or below the average annual cost -of home~ownership illustrated in the tables. A variation below this average might permit you to make a larger capital expenditure

for your. new home; a variation above might require you to make a lesser outlay. In such cases, it is recommended that you discuss this problem with an approved lending institution which will be able to guide you in this respect.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS It is important that prospective

house owners should know the many items entering into the cost of a house and make sure that their budget provides for them. 1. Mortgage Costs

First of all there are the costs connected with the mortgage, such as searching the title of the land, appraising the lend~ ing value of the land and build­ing, inspection of construction, preparing and recording the mortgage and the interest on the money advanced during construction. Providing the title to the property is clear, these costs will usually average 2% of the amount of the mortgage.

2. Architectural Services This amount will range from $10.00 for stock plans up to 6% of the cost of the construc­tion of the house for complete architectural services, includ­ing supervision.

/3. Land Cost , Unimproved land or land which has been improved but the im­provements not paid for, should not exceed 10% of the total proposed investment. If the im­provements have been partly or totally paid for, this per­centage may vary from 10-15%, depending 'Upon the per­centage of the improvement cost which has been paid off I

at the time of construction of the house. Naturally, the month­ly cost to the owner will reflect this difference in cost as the

owner must pay for these im­provements either by a larger capital expenditure for the land or by added annual improve­ment taxes.

4. Construction Cost A complete set of detailed work .. ing drawings, a complete speci­fication, a contract and a re­putable contractor are the ow:y known and tried methods of securing a complete, ready-to .. occupy house without "ex­tras". Failure to have anyone of these four essential require­ments may mean grief for the owner. Secure a complete check list of items entering into the construction of your house and check them against the plans and specifications.

5. Equipment Costs This item will include all equip­ment not called for in the con .. struction contract, such as finish hardware, lighting fixtures, screens, storm sash and doors, special finish or decoration, kitchen stove, refrigerator and other kitchen equipment, vene­tian blinds or window shades, fireplace fittings and screen, built-in radio, gar1;>age disposal equipment, deep freeze unit and garden tools.

6. Landscaping This item will include finish grading and sodding, walks, driveway, fences, plants and shrubbery, if they are not covered in the construction contract.

COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ZONING Community planning and zon­

ing are intended to protect your community, your neighbourhood and your home against the hazards of unrestricted building.

Usually fire protection of some sort is available unless your new house is located in an unorganized, rural district, in which case fire insurance protection can be pur­chased to indemnify you against ,financial loss.

Police protection is available throughout the land, regardless of where you may build, and burglary insurance may also be obtained.

But what about the damage to your property that prospective neighbours may do, either inno­cently or deliberately? '

You may invest your life savings in a new home and obligate your­self to payoff a much largex: amount ' in the form of a mortgage. You may believe that your housing prob­lems are solved for your lifetime only to learn that the lot next door has been sold to someone who proposes to erect a shack or other obj ectionable building. Then you realize that the value of your

BUILDING STANDARDS

The minimum standards of con­struction, developed under the Na­tional Housing Act over many years, prescribe certain measures that provide for safety, health and

property may drop as much as 25· 50% and you can do nothing about it.

You are responsible because you did not take the precaution of see­ing that your property was zoned or restricted or, better still, that there was an approved community plan. The municipality is also at fault for not giving you this very necessary protection.

Any municipality which does not protect prospective h 0 use builders by providing an approved master plan or at least adequate zoning restrictions properly en­forced, is failing' in its duty to its citizens;

Make absolutely sure that the property upon which you propose to build has protection and that it has services and tr~nsporlation and is accessible to schools, church­es, community shopping and re­creation centres.

1£ there are any doubts in your mind as to what constitutes ade­quate protection, don't hesitate to consult the best authorities avail­able. It will pay you well to do so.

efficiency in planning, require the use of materials that are structur­ally sound for the purpose for which they are to be used and are subject to modification only when geo-

graphic and climatic conditions warrant such modification.

These standards of construction are for the protection of the house owner. Structurally, nothing ex­cessive is required. Minimum room sizes' and window areas are the result of· years of study and are the minimum for health and conveni-

CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Before undertaking the building

of a house, it is good policy to have a complete, detailed, properly and carefully prepared set of working drawings and specifications and a building contract. The specifica­tions should provide for every item that is not shown on the plans and the building contract should be signed by a reputable builder or contractor.

The provincial laws respecting contracts, liens and "trust funds vary from province to province and early familiarity with the laws gov­erning your contract is . wise.

Beware of the builder or con­tractor who is of limited responsi­biLty and gives a very low bid. Perhaps he will fail to pay some accounts and leave the job in an unfinished condition with liens for you, as the owner, to pay.

ence. Lot coverage and side yard requirements have been scientifi­cally determined. None of these requirements will cause a house builder to spend a dollar extra on his home that is not amply justified from the standpoint of health, safety and convenience.

When making payments on ac­count to your builder or contractor ask him to show that any money previously advanced has actually been paid for labour and material used on your house and that there are no unpaid accounts outstand­ing. If there is any doubt in your mind, contact the various people who have supplied material and, if necessary, demand waivers of lieIl'.

Home-building is not a matter to be taken lightly. That much is apparent from what has been said in the foregoing pages. At the same time, it is not something to be shunned because of possible haz­ards. You will have to think about it carefully; you will have to exer­cise caution both in planning your house and arranging the financing. But the rewards are worthwhile and lasting.

SMALL HOUSE DESIGNS The following designs of small

houses have been carefully select­ed to meet average Canadian con­ditions and the needs of the average Canadian family.

All plans conform to the IDlnl­mum standards of construction re­quired under the National Housing Act, 1944.

WARNING

On all the designs illustrated in this book the square foot areas and the total cubic contents are shown. Prospective house builders are warned that both the square foot basis and the cubic foot method are not infallible as a means of estimating costs.

Unless you are comparing your proposed house with a completed house on which definite costs are available, and unless the completed house is similar in size, ac~ commodation, materials, finish, equipment and location to the house you propose to build, you are quite likely to be away out in your estimates.

The only check on the cost of construction is to secure a definite tender in writing from a reliable contractor or builder who has figured his price from a complete set of working plans and specifications and is prepared to enter into a contract for the construction of your house for the amount stipulated in his tender.

Most of the designs shown could be constructed of frame, veneer or solid masonry having an ex­terior finish of siding, shingles, plywood, composition or plastic, stucco, brick, stone or cement. Where the choice of materials is restricted owing to special design

feature~, mention is made of the most suitable finishes that should be used.

Where the type of house is ap­propriate to any particular geo­graphic location it is so stated. The majority of houses, however, may be built anywhere in Canada.

WORKING drawings of the houses illustrated in the pages which follow, comprising four lots of blue­prints and four copies of "Outline Specification Form" (CMHC-24) to be filled in by the owner and the builder - may be purchased through Central Mort­gage and Housing Corporation at $10.00 a set.

Working drawings should be ordered by number from: Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, 56 Lyon Street, Ottawa, or from the nearest regional or branch office.

6t rooms, including Living Room, Kitchen-Dining Room,

4 Bedrooms and Bathroom. Full Basement.

THIS plan combines an efficient layout with a very pleasing exterior appearance.

The front entrance gives access to a vestibule which has a coat closet of ample size and with natural light.· The living room is of good size and proportion and contains flush wood or coal burn­ing fireplace and side bookcases. There is a splendid window arrange­ment.

The kitchen opens off the living room and is spacious with dining nook and storage closet. Stair to basement leads from the kitchen. There is also a direct outside trade or service entrance.

The bedroom portion of the house is accessible through a door from the living room thus enabling that part of the house to be shut off and completely sepa;rated from the rest of the house.

There are two bedrooms with corner windows and a bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor, space is provided for two additional bedrooms that could be finished for occupancy at a later date when needed.

An outstanding feature of this plan is the abundance of closet space, there being ten good sized closets. No roof donner is required (unless an additional bathroom on the second floor is necessary), which contributes to economy of construction as well as maintenance.

The plan and elevation show frame con~ struction. If veneer or solid masonry construction is desired the outside over-all dimensions of the house and the minimum lot frontage dimension must be increased by approximately I' ~O" .

. HOUSE No. 47-2 strikes a modern note and would prove an attractive house located in any suburban area in Canada.

The vestibule affords protection and contains a coat closet. The hall gives access to the living room and the kitchen.

The living room is of ample size with window area concentrated where most useful. Ample wall space is provided for various furniture arrangements. The flush fireplace could be finished according to a variety of styles to suit the owner's individual taste.

The kitchen is well laid out and it is but a few short steps to serve meals in the living room when guests are present.

The dining alcove off the kitchen is just the place for family meals. By providing an access panel the dining table can be moved from kitchen to living" room as required. The kitchen has good cross. ventilation and gives direct access to the basement and service entrance: .

The bedrooms are large with cross ventilation and the clothes closets are exceptional. The largest bedroom has double closets and the linen closet is off the bathroom. A very useful storage closet off the living room is provided a fine place for card table, games and vacuum cleaner.

This house should face south as provision has been made by means of ample roof projection over the living room win~ dows to take advantage of solar heating in the winter and to provide shade from the direct sun in the summer.

The plan and elevation show frame construc .. tion. If veneer or solid masonry construction is desired the outside over-all dimensions of the house and the minimum lot frontage dimension must be increased by approximately l' 0".

The multi-use room or dining room could be used as a den, study or occasional bedroom. The closet used as a passage or as a closet is accessible from two sides if required.

Access to the basement and the kitchen is by a grade service door.

The bathroom is also handy so that children coming in from playing may be washed and their clothes hung in the closet without tracking mud through the house.

Corner windows add to the view from the interior, give more wall space for furniture and add a modern touch to the exterior.

THIS is a minimum sized house, yet by ingeni­ous planning three bedrooms are provid~d, There is ample closet space and a very convenient arrangement of grade entrance leading to base­ment and handy bathroom location for washing after working in the garden.

The alcove adjoining the kitchen may be used as an office, den, sewing alcove or as a breakfast alcove with convenient service direct from the kitchen through the cabinet.

The vestibule provides a large coat closet and opens off the living room as well as the kitc:b.en. The circulation in this plan is excellent.

One or two bedrooms upstairs could be left unfinished and only completed as the family needs justify.

The location of chimney flues provides for the kitchen range and a heater in the living room. If a central heating system is located in the basement in place of the living room heater the same flue is used, and if an electric kitchen is installed the flue becomes an efficient kitchen vent, or it can be omitted entirely and the chimney thus made smaller.

A fireplace could· be built at either end of the living room.

THIS is an excellent plan that has stood the test of time. Designed for a narrow lot with a definitely modern elevation, this house would attract attention and favourable comment.

The vestibule gives access to living room, kitchen and trade entrance, also to coat closet. This closet has a sloping floor in order to provide headroom for basement stairs. The living-dining room is of generous size for a small house, with dining space at the rear,

where a handy closet is also located. The kitchen is the popular U shape which gives plenty of wall space and also space for a small dining table. The bathroom adjoins, thus economizing in plumbing.

The bedrooms are shielded from noise by generous clothes closets, the large bedroom having double closets. The linen closet is in its proper place in the bedroom hall.

If a driveway is to be located on the trade entrance side an additional foot in lot width will be required to clear the proj ecting chimney. . ,

ALL unnecessary features have been elim­inated in ibis house-in order to keep both initial and maintenance costs at a minimum. By sloping the side grade up so as to require only one step, this house with an 8'-0" side drive could be located on a 40'-0" lot.

The vestibule protects the living room in cold weather and has a coat closet for hanging outer garments.

The living room affords a great deal of un­broken wall space for advantageous furnishing and is well lighted by two large windows. The new unit furniture, particularly sofas or day-beds that can be paired to form a right-angle along two walls would make the

room exceedingly smart in appearance and able to hold quite a gathering without undue crowding. Dining space off the living room and adjacent to the kitchen is provided.

The excellent placement of the windows-in both bedrooms~means plenty of sun and air, without sacrifice of wall space. Access to the bathroom-from bedrooms or living room-is by the central hall.

G~od arrangement and two windows make the kitchen a cheerful working place with adequate light and cross ventila­tion. Interior steps lead to the basement-in which laundry and heating equipment are located. Plenty of space is available for a rumpus room and additional storage in the basement.

This plan could provide for one or two additional bedrooms by using the present bedroom closets as a passage­way to an addition and, providing for closet space between the original walls and the addition.

IN this plan a vestibule protects the living room and provides a closet for hanging outer garments. Two windows provide sunlight and cross ventilation for the living room. This room is designed for a maximum of usable wall space.

The two bedrooms are at the rear of the house for quietness and privacy; the kitchen faces towards the street-in line with the most up-to-date planning. The home-maker can see who comes to the door or what is going on outside, without being readily visible herself.

A large sink,· several feet of counter space, overhead and underneath cupboards, cross ventilation, a bright spot under the window for a breakfast table, and ample room for range and refrigerator-these complete the details of this modern work area.

A small hall protects the kitchen. Access to the basement, which houses the laundry, heater and storage space, is from this landing.

Two bedrooms and the bath open oft the hallway behind the living room. The hall itself has two closets. Each bedroom has its own generous closet and cross ventilation. The bedrooms are soundproofed from each other by the bank of closets between them.

An additional bedroom can be provided by extending the hall across the large bedroom and building the extra bed· room as an addition.

HERE is a "large" small home that respects all the best traditions of comfort and privacy . Yet-in the interest of economy-it eliminates every non·essential. .

Its gables and simplicity of line lend it dignified charm. The living room is protected by a vestibule which contains a coat closet.

The rectangular liv1.'ng room with three gener· ous windows affords excellent unbroken wall expanses to accommodate all necessary furniture. The middle of the room is thus kept free for activity.

Three bedrooms and the bath open off a hall behind the living room. Each of the bedrooms has ample windows, care·

fully placed to increase furnishing efficiency. The largest bedroom has a six foot walk~in closet-the other bedrooms have ample closet space. While not large in actual size, these rooms are skillfully designed to serve more than one purpose. They can be combination sleeping-study, or sleeping-play rooms, with plenty of space for desks, toy chests and book­cases.

Ample, window-brightened dining space for a "three~bedroom" family is provided along an eight-foot wall in the kitchen. The obvious convenience and economy. of the dining-kitchen are rapidly coming into high favour with today's home purchasers. This generous room has cupboards, counters and space for all major equip­ment, cross ventilation and outside door.

Stairs to a full basement, for heater, additional storage and laundry, lead down from the kitchen. There is ample space in the basement for a rumpus room.

T ijIS attractive house is decidedly "West Coast" and would be a delightful home in which to live. The exterior is also very attractive.

The plan provides for a house of generous size, a protected entrance, a large hall giving access to the living room, bed­rooms and kitchen. A large coat closet is adjacent to the entrance hall. The kitchen and utility room are combined, providing for laundry on the first floor. '

The living-dining room is over 27' long and lends itself to a most livable fumiture arrangement. The fireplace with hearth treatment extended to the entrance hall as flooring would be dis­tinctive and provide protection where most needed.

is unusually large. The bedrooms are l:arge and the closet space

By using the space occupied by the stairs as heater and storage space the basement could be eliminated, thus reducing the cubage to approximately 15/000 cu. ft., thereby substantially reducing the cost.

CAN ADIAN SMALL HOUSE

COMPETITION

CENTRAL MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION I

CANADIAN SMALL HOUSE COMPETITION THE PROBLEM

THE CLIENT The Client, Mr. Canada, an aver­

age Canadian in his middle 30's, has needed a house since the end of the war. He, his wife, his daughter aged live, and a son of two years, are now living in overcrowded ac­commodation. They need a house immediately that will provide them with convenient and healthful liv­ing conditions in accordance with their requirements.

THE CLIENT'S PROBLEM Mr. Canada tried to buy a house

but could not find one which pro­vided the accommodation and con­venience he and his family require. He then considered building, but found costs out of line with his budget. He had Victory Bonds and other savings sufficient to provide the equity to finance the construc­tion of a house to cost approximate­ly $6,000.00 under the National Housing Act. He has a job and a reasonable assurance of perma­nency. He should not, however, exceed this expenditure and is very desirous of obtaining a house compatible with his family's needs at a lesser cost. He knows of the shortage of materials and high con­struction costs but in view of his plight he must build immediately. Having heard of new building tech­niques he hopes his architect will

PAGE SEVENTY·FOUR

be able to employ them to solve his problem.

THE CLIENT'S REQUIREMENTS Mr. and Mrsr Canada have seen

many houses which had small and insufficient numbers of rooms. They feel that these would not provide them with the conditions of health and convenience they are deter­mined to have. They require all rooms as large as possible within the means of their budget. They have no preference concerning style but dislike the freakish or bizarre and picturesque. They are very interested in contemporary ideas of utility and livability and would like "built-in furniture," but do not want "gadgets." Their aim is basic accommodation so as to obtain the maximum of living space for their money. A no·basement house appeals to them if this can be provided without sacrificing ac­commodation, especially storage space, laundry, utility, and heating facilities; and within their "price ceiling." They do not own an auto­mobile and the provision of a garage is optional. They want a well-lighted and healthful interior and are interested in the trend to larger glass areas. Since their bud­get is carefully planned, heating and maintenance costs should be at a minimum. They depend upon their architect to advise them upon

the building materials and equip~ ment to be used. They have no objection to departures from tradi­tional materials provided their archi· tect can assure them that the new ones he suggests will give just as good service. Mrs. Canada expects to do her own housework and supervise the children. She natur­ally wants the rooms planned and arranged to make her household tasks easier and more pleasant, and to allow her as much free time as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Canada· have found several urban lots which might be suitable. These are located on various streets and with different orientations. All the lots that they can obtain are internal ones, 40' wide or less, generally flat with a good depth of soil; some have lanes

at the rear and others have not. The usual utilities are available. They expect their architect to select and make the best use of a lot and to design the house so as to obtain the best orientation. They wish to finance the construction of the house under the terms of the National Housing Act, 1944.

)

THE ARCHITECT/S PROBLEM The problem for the architect is

the development of a design which will utilize materials, construction and planning methods in such a way as to provide Mr. Canada with a solution to his requirements at the minimum cost compatible with acceptability under the Minimum Standards of the National Housing Act, 1944.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS

In normal times, it has always been difficult to appraise in ad­vance with any degree of accuracy the actual building cost of a house. In these uncertain days of material shortages, it is even more.hazardous. Two identical houses built on opposite sides of the same street by the same contractor may vary in actual costs. Further, costs may change from one locality to another and depend a great deal on the efficiency of local labour and the profits that may satisfy the builder.

A cost of $6,000 was set for the Canadian Small House Com­petition as an approximate maximum goal for the competitors. The designs shown in this book generally are valued at $6,000-some, of course, may cost more and some less. However, this figure should be used only as a guide for value and not as an estimate of actual cost. To avoid any difficulties, prospective home~owners who wish to build from these plans would, be well advised to seek the advice of a local architect or contractor to estimate as closely as possible the cost of building such a house. This should be done before any commitments of any kind are undertaken. In this way, prospective home-builders will lessen the danger of unintentionally incurring costs beyond their means.

CANADIAN SMALL HOUSE COMPETITION REPORT OF THE JUDGES

In the opinion of the judges, this competition produced an extraor­dinary variety of plan arrange­ments. Competitors made a most exhauf?tive study of different ways of putting together the elements of the small house plan. In previous competitions there has been some concentration on pretty elevations to make nice exteriors, but in this competition the concentration of the designers on plan arrange­ments was very noticeable. The 'plan arrangement was superior to the architectural form in which it was expressed. In fact, perhaps the great outstanding outcome of the competition was the tremendous variety in the architectural char­acter. It is apparent that we are moving away from what is general­ly considered to be a house of orthodox appearance.

The judges doubted whether there had emerged any great dis­tinction between the regions in the form of plan. It is quite possible that the designs contributed in any region could have been suitable and successful in any other region. I

The general quality of entries was not up to expectation. The judges felt some disapPOintment that many experienced firms of architects had been unable to contribute on ac­count of the pressure of present business. The hope was expressed that in any subsequent competi-

tions it would. be possible to draw in the practising architectural firms in greater numbers than had been possible on this occasion. Never­theless, it was obvious to the judges that a great deal of fundamental thinking on Canadian small house planning has now been done.

Much discussion took place con­cerning the ability of small con­tractors and speculative builders to carry out some of the designs. It was recognized that a few of the best designs would require careful ' supervision and skillful craftsman­ship for execution. The fear was expressed that if left to second class firms of contractors some designs which looked beautiful might re­sult in very poor creations.

A fundamental issue of consider­ation was, of course, land cover-· age, since the bungalow type occu­pies a large proportion of the lot while a two storey house econo­mizes on roof and lot areas. Prefer­ence was given to the house with a basement, particularly on the urging of one of the jury members. The overflow of storage space was regarded as very important in a house of minimum room sizes.

Other plan features most care­fully examined by the judges was the communication from front en­trances to the rest of the house. Preference was given to those de­signs which avoided using the liv­ing room as a passage. The judges

continually considered the difficul­ties of the housewife in keeping floors clean and keeping the mess left by children away from the liv· ing room. The ease of access from the kitchen, as the working center of the house, to all other parts was a very important factor in decision.

Some difficulty arose concerning the question of garages. It was no· ticeable that many plans occupied the greater part of a forty-foot lot and therefore made it necessary to place the garage either in front of the house or on the back lot line, assuming a rear lane in many municipalities. Either of these loca­tions would not be very satisfactory within present restrictions.

Another important factor con­sidered was the cost of mainte­nance throughout the life of the house. A design with a simple roof has obvious advantages since breaks in roofiine, pitch, etc., are

obvious causes of future mainte-nance trouble. ,

It is felt by the judges that the first three choices in each Region would well provide the Canadian public with some novel and inter­esting designs for future house con­struction. It is hoped that further Competitions will be held to stimu­late thought and interest in house design and in the development of an architecture which will express the Canadian way of life.

In general the judges believe that this Competition was well worthwhile even though no new building techniques or materials evolved. Three hundred and thirty­one designs were submitted. It is gratifying that the Competition ob­tained such a wide response throughout the Dominion.

CANADIAN SMALL HOUSE COMPETITION MARITIMES REGION

No. 47-31 First Prize

This design was thought by many of the judges to be amongst the best submitted. It can be built anywhere in Canada. The plan circulation is excellent and the living~dining room with its large glass area to the south should provide attractive liv­ing conditions. The exterior design was considered to be of utmost sim­plicity and of very fine appearance.

No. 47-32 Second Prize

Another attractive design which could be built anywhere in Canada. A feature is the provision of a play­room which could become a bed­room when the children grow older. The circulation is not as good as in the first prize winner, although it will be possible to have access to any room in the house without go­ing through another habitable room when the house is finally com· pleted. The plan has a very small area· but is not as compact as the first prize winner. The circulation from the front door to the kitchen and from the basement stair to the outside could have been better and the long distance around the house to the rear entrance was com­mented on. The chief factors re· sponsible for this design being pre­miated were the accommodation obtained in a small floor area and> the pleasant exterior design.

PAGE SEVENTY· EIGHT

No. 47-33 Third Prize

This design provides good circu-1ation and the essential accommo­dation required by the program. It would be popular anywhere in Canada. It was believed that a door from the living room to the rear garden might have been desirable. The judges felt that in this Region a vestibule should have been pro­vided. The provision of an extra study room within the small con­fines of this house was considered to be excellent.

QUEBEC REGION No. 47-34 First Prize

An excellent design with good circulation and good architectural features. It raised a great deal of discussion regarding the accept. ability of a basementless house with­out characteristics common to the Quebec area. This house was given a first prize, not because of its par­ticular suitability to the Quebec Regi9n but because of its faultless plan arrangements and good archi­tectural features. The judges con­sidered this design to be outstand ~ ing and as nearly ideal as possible.

No. 47-35 Second Prize

Another house design which could be built anywhere in Can­ada. The judges were impressed with the provision of a potential

four bedrooms. The prOV1Slon of closet space is excellent. It was felt that the dining table and wicket arrangement could be improved by providing a continuous counter on the kitchen side. The exterior proportions are very simple and pleasing. The outside stair with no provision for covering was ques­tioned.

No. 47-36 Third Prize

This design closely approaches the traditional Quebec domestic architecture. It would undoubtedly b~ acceptable to many families in Quebec. Three bedrooms are pro­vided, but it is necessary for the occupants of the first floor bedroom to pass through the front hall in order to reach the bathroom on the second floor, but this could easily be altered to provide the privacy required.

ONTARIO REGION No. 47-37 First Prize

The display of good taste, dis­tinctive design and general pleas­ant appearance were ·the under­lying factors that led to its selec­tion. Some of the judges felt that it did not meet the problem since it would suit a corner lot more favourably. There was also some criticism concerning the necessity of passing through the living and dining rooms to reach the kitchen and rear bedroom hall from the front entrance.; The arrangement of the kitchen and bathroom plumb­ing was considered to be very eco­nomical and the rear entrance to the kitchen is very well located.

No. 47-38 Second Prize

This design was carefully con­sidered for first place but the plumb­ing arrangements and the small size of the kitchen and its general design characteristics relegated it to second place. It has a very com­pact functional plan.

No. 47-39 Third Prize '

This design reduced the two floor square plan to its simplest terms. It has excellent arrange­ments of side delivery with access to kitchen and heater room. Gener­ally the circulation is very good. The architectural quality is good, although the excessive amount of glass area was questioned for some parts of the Ontario Region.

PRAIRIE REGION No. 47-40 First Prize

A three level house rather more successfully planned than the West Coast prize winner. The junctions of roofs and walls would be much easier to construct. The circulation is very good, except that it is neces­sary to pass through the dining­living room and maid entrance hall to reach the basement from the kitchen. However, the judges be­lieved that this defect could be easily overcome by a minor change such as opening a door from the kitchen to the front hall. A vesti­bule would have helped this de­sign, particularly in the Prairie Region. The handling of the multi­purpose room in the basement was considered to have unusual merit. Some concern was expressed re-

garding the large glass areas for the Prairie Region.

No. 47-41 Second Prize

A well planned house with good circulation and accommodation that meets the requirements of the program. The provision of dining space in the kitchen was favour-

. ably cOI:ilIllented upon. However, it is of a larger size than some of the other prize winners.

No. 47-42 Third Prize

This design of unusual appear­ance contains a very spacious liv­ing-dining-kitchen area. A fixed partition or screen between the kitchen and living room might have been an improvement. No vestibule is indicated, but this could be easily provided. The glass area was con­sidered to be slightly excessive for the Region c;lnd the type of heating equipment which might be consid­ered normal for houses in this price range.

WEST COAST REGION No. 47-43 First Prize

This design was the most contro­versial of all. It provoked the great-

est discussion and was finally selected because of its unique fea­tures. The split level plan results in good circulation. The exterior de­sign, while original, impressed the Jury as not having been given suf­ficient study. It was also felt that careful supervisi'on and craftsman­ship would be absolutely necessary in the execution of this house. Some concern was expressed regarding its cost.

No. 47-44 Second Prize

An economical West Coast type bungalow. The circulation, while good, requires passage through the living-dining room to reach any part of the house from the kitchen. A higher ranking prize might have been awarded had the design been more distinctive.

No. 47-45 Third Prize

One of a large group of similar plans submitted in this Region. The plan provides good circulation. The opening between the kitchen and dining-living room was can .. sidered unfC\vourably. The plan is practical and efficient and meets the requirements set forth in the program.

CANADIAN SMALL HOUSE COMPETITION HONOURABLE MENTIONS

MARITIMES REGION No. 47-46

First Honourable Mention An attractive and well planned

small house. Since it is necessary to pass through the living room to reach the'bathroom from the future upstairs bedroom, this house would be considered as a two bedroom house under the National Housing Act standards. However, the judges felt this could be easily overcome by a detailed change in planning, hence it was awarded a mention.

No. 47-47 Second Honourable Mention

Another bungalow type of base­mentless house which provides for the requirements of the program. The bedroom-hall space is consid­ered to be a little excessive.

QUEBEC REGION No. 47-48

First Honourable Mention

The arrangement of the living­dining room, kitchen and main en:' trance hall helped win a Mention for this design. The garage loca­tion is also very good, except that it cannot be provided without the consent of the adjoining property owner. A slightly wider lot would

enable this design to be carried out entirely on the owner's properly. The exterior design could have been given 'further study.

• No. 47-49

Second Honourable Mention

This entry meets all the require­ments of the program in a generous manner. The circulation is good and convenient and the plan shape is economical. The living-dining arrangement creates a good feeling of spaciousness. The provision of an extra washroom on the ground floor was considered excessive for a house in this price range. The shed for a workshop attached to the side of the house would require a larger lot or be removed entirely.

No. 47-50 Third Honourable Mention

A two storey basementless house which could be built in any Region. The circulation is good and the plan compact. However, the eleva­tions could be improved.

No. 47-51 Fourth Honourable Mention

A two storey design which uti­lizes the space below the grade for living quarters. It was consid­ered to be unforlunate that it was necessary to mount five steps to reach the vestibule of the house and then. de~cend four to the main

floor level. The circulation was generally not as good as in some of the others. The exterior design was considered to be generally pleasing.

No. 47-52 Fifth Honourable Mention

This plan provides for the neces­sary accommodation, but does not utilize the space as efficiently as some of the other designs. It was felt that the elevations could be improved with more study ..

ONTARIO REGION No. 47-53

First Honourable Mention

A modern design that could pro- . vide suitable living accommoda­tion. It was felt that the bedroom hall was rather long. The dining space being located in the direct path of traffic from the entrance to the rest of the house was criticized. A screen between the kitchen and dinette would have improved this layout. The elevati0ns are rather pleasant, except that the glass area was considered to be excessive for some parts of the Ontario Region. The garage was located in a poor position.

No. 47-54 Second Honourable JMention

Another bungalow with a com­pact plan but in which the arrange­ment of the rooms is not as good as some of the others. The hall length IS a little excessive and circulation a little indirect. While this was con­sidered an attractive design, it did

not have the merit of some of the others.

No. 47-55 Third Honourable Mention

AnotJaer three level design. Again the glass area was consid­ered to be a little excessive for the Ontario Region. The circulation could also have been improved. The angular chimney treatment is ·unusual. The general purpose room is well handled. The circulation in this 'plan is a little difficult. It is necessary to cross the living-dining' area to reach the kitchen or bed· rooms from the main entrance.

No. 47-56 Fourth Honourable Mention

A good house economically plan­ned for low cost. The circulation and room arrangements 'were not considered to be as good as some of the others.

No. 47-57 Fifth Honourable Mention

A fairly good plan which occu­pies more ground area than the prize winners. The hall space is a little excessive, the bathroom seems cramped. The only access to the rear entrance is via the terrace. It was felt that this point could have been handled in a better fashion.

PRAIRIE REGION No. 47-58

First Honourable Mention

The exterior of this house is or­dinary and practical. The plan is fairly good, except that the kitchen

is cramped and the open basement stair would be a source of worry as far as the children were concerned, even though a gate is indicated. The glass area is a little on the large size for this Region.

No. 47-59 Second Honourable Mention

A fairly good plan except that the circulation from the kitchen to the main entrance could have been arranged in a better manner. The exterior elevations are plain, de­pending on window arrangement for interest. Again, it was felt that the window area might be exces­sive for this Region and should be reduced to save on heating bills.

No. 47-60 Third Honourable Mention

This design has a modern shed roof, which though it is economical could have been handled more skillfully. The plan circulation is good, even though it is necessary to use the living room as a passage from the front entrance. The com­bination of heater room, play area is thought to be a good idea.

No. 47-61 Fourth Honourable Mention

A good plan. The arrangement of the rear entrance providing access to the kitchen and heating room was considered to be very good. Windows were considered to be large for the Prairie Region and the house occupies a larger area than some of the prize winners, which would reflect in higher costs.

No. 47-62 . Fifth Honourable Mention

This design has a larger outside perimeter and the circulation was not as good as some of the others The kitchen is very small.

WEST COAST REGION No. 47-63

First Honourable Mention

The bedroom wing in this design was considered to be good but the circulation in the living part of the house had some shortcomings. The coat closet off the living room is small and it is necessary to use the living room as passageway to go from the front door to any part of the house. The provision of a separate dining room was consid· ered to be a little extravagant for the small house.

No. 47-64 Second Honourable Mention

Another plan with good circula~ tion but which covers a large area. The rear bedroom hall was con~ sidered to be a little wasteful. The elevations are uninspiring.

No. 47-65 Third Honourable Mention

This design provides a small house which meets the require­ments of the program. However, the hall space is a little long and the kitchen-front door relationship could have been improved.

___________________________________ CM -----------------------------------HC

I

PAGE EIGHTY·FOUR

No. 47-66 Fourth Honourable Mention

The unusual feature about this design is the method used to secure basement space without much ex~ cavation. The circulation is a little complicated and a certain amount of passage through habitable rooms is required to reach the other rooms. The elevations are ordinary.

No. 47-67 Fifth Honourable Mention

One of the two storey plan types. The circulation is good but is not as direct as some of the other plans. The living-dining room is large, and should provide good living accom­modation.
