Case Study House #3 is a modern H-shaped plan that celebrates nature with a tall, covered, indoor-outdoor room called "the porch" between the kitchen/dining/living area and the bedroom wing. It's basically a modern version of the "dogtrot" -- two rooms separated by a breezeway -- a classic early American vernacular plan. The carport is cranked away from the main rectangle to meet the driveway. Another distinctive feature is the "work room" adjacent to the kitchen. It was conceived as a hobby room but could become a mudroom/laundry. A few details would need to be updated (the master bathroom is small by today's standards) but the graceful flow between rooms, the elegant windows and doors, and the generous use of sheltered outdoor space make this design compelling. In order to respect the historic nature of this project the drawings are sold unaltered. This plan was designed in the mid 40's.

Designer Notes

Designed by architects William Wurster and Theodore Bernardi, Case Study House #3 was commissioned by the avant-garde Los Angeles magazine Arts & Architecture and its editor John Entenza in 1945 as part of the newly launched Case Study House program. This program addressed the need for new housing after World War II. The plans for CSH #3 were published in the June 1945 issue and the house was built in 1948.
