International studio (59.1916)

A Studio Home for Modest Means

able outlook into the garden. This room is
furnished like the gallery with a skylight and can
be used as a studio, having easy access to the
gallery, so that in the event of a larger exhibition
being desirable, the difficulties of sufficient space
would be pleasantly obviated, more especially as
the dining-room has likewise been constructed as
a studio, in consequence of which gallery, studio
and dining-room make a connected chain of
rooms from the passage possessing sufficient area
for a liberal display of statuary or paintings.
Sleeping chambers and service have been sepa-
rated by a hall from the main rooms. Particular
attention has been bestowed on the garden, which
is of an intimate character, nestling at the rear of
the house with a beckoning invitation to prac-
tically all the rooms of the house with the excep-
tion of the dining-room. In proportion to the
area built upon, lawn, forecourt and garden have
been considered in no niggardly spirit. Small but
very compact, this house should certainly interest
artists who are not compelled to live in the city
and who decline to sacrifice all the comforts of a
home for the mere privilege of having a large
studio. The strange part of it is that a home
such as is illustrated here can be obtained for a
very small outlay, according to the locality
selected. $5,000 would suffice.
