ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> Part of Five Fields, a community of contemporary houses designed and developed <br /> by The Architects Collaborative (TAC) , this house is closed off from the exterior by <br /> two parallel masonry walls but on the interior opens onto a courtyard. Although <br /> this house is different from any other in Five Fields, it has many common features, <br /> such as an open living/dining/kitchen area and a carport with outside storage space. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state <br /> history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) <br /> This house was designed by a member of The Architects Collaborative (TAC) as <br /> his own residence and is one of about 10 such custom-designed houses in Five Fields <br /> (see Five Fields area form) . It shows elements of both Bauhaus and Japanese <br /> influence, the latter particularly apparent in the interior courtyard, and has in <br /> turn been studied by Japanese architectural historians as an example of a courtyard <br /> house. <br /> `= BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> 10M - 7/82 <br />
