Modern Architectures of North America

Multi Purpose Room

The multi purpose room, which in this case is a separate room from the living room, was a new feature in modern houses in mid-century suburbia. This room was for family interactions, more informal than the living room and often containing a television. The television was a new feature of this time period and was beginning to be incorporated in modern architectural design, in this case in the form of a multi purpose room designated for the family. Again, the room is open to the outdoors, facilitating interaction with the environment.
