The Small Home of Tomorrow (California Architecture and Architects)

Paul R. Williams worked in a variety of styles, and we can see his flair in the large houses and commercial projects he designed. But Williams had another side: he was determined to bring his style to houses for the middle class. In the 1940s, he issued two books of inventive drawings and plans for just such a house. THE SMALL HOME OF TOMORROW and NEW HOMES FOR TODAY are a window into a sunnier day in house design and an opportunity to see the workings of an architectural genius, one whose ideas are still relevant to the house builder of today.
