Leisure House
Two people can erect the cabin in a week.
It was engineered to stand up under ex-
treme winds and snow loads and is built
around a series of 11 triangular trusses
which eliminate the problems of stud walls
and cross bracing.
John Campbell, member of the archi-
tectural firm with Worley K. Wong, built
his Leisure House in Mill Valley, across
the Golden Gate Bridge from San Fran-
cisco, on a concrete foundation which grips
the wooded slope of the mountain.
A large deck spreads under trees in
front of the Campbell version. The house
has two extra four foot units in the rear to
form a bedroom at an extra cost of less
than $500 (two extra four foot units at $115
plus additional form work and wiring).
