Announces Winn€rs in Colotylc Architects' Competition
A. Albert Cooling, of Los Aqgeles, is richer today by five hundred dollars as a result of his winning the grand prize in the Colotyle Architects' Competition for bathroom design.
Giving Mr. Cooling close competition for the grand prize were Harry K. Wolfe, of Seattle; George H. Warduer, of Portland, and Burwell F. Hamrick, of Burbank, who each won $250.00 as regional prizes.
The competition posed the problem to design a bathroom of not more than 100 square feet for a home costing not more than $10,000, showing the best and most practical use of Colotyle plastic-coated wall sheets.
If the entries could be taken to indicate any trends in bathroom design, these three treatments were commonly included: 1. Dual lavatory to provide simultaneous use by more than one person ; Z. W.ater closet in separate compartment or room ; 3. Stalt shower in addition to bathtub. Commenting on these trends, Robert McClelland, A.I.A., professional advisor for the competition stated, "The bathroom will come in for more and more attention in designing the postwar home. No longer will it be a question of how little space can be devoted to the bathroom, but how il can be made more useful for the entire family."
"If there is room for only one bathroom, it must be de' signed so that more than one member of the family can use it at the same time. The bathroom bottleneck caused by children getting ready for school at the same time that adults are getting ready for the day's work is one which has to be broken. if homes are to be practical."
