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 deisgned and developed <br /> by The Architects Collaborative (TAC) , this house has many Japanese influences in <br /> recognition of the nationality of the client for whom it was designed. The plan was <br /> derived from a traditional New England center-chimney rectangular house, but in this <br /> case the corners were cut out to form Japanese-style courts. The views thus framed <br /> into other rooms and courts are another Japanese element. The roof line, with its <br /> distinctly Japanese appearance, was the result of trying to accommodate two <br /> pitched-roof end wings with a flat-roofed central section. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNNIFICANCE (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 Allison P. Goodwin of The Architects Collaborative <br /> (TAC) for a well-known landscape architect and is one of about 10 custom-designed <br /> houses in Five Fields (see Five Fields area form) . <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Proaressive Architecture, November 1960, <br /> 10M - 7/82 <br />
