The firms included: Campbell and Wong of San Francisco; Rufus Nims of Miami FL; Robert A. Little and George E. Dalton and Associates, Cleveland OH; and Burton Ashford Bugbee, of New York NY. Of Campbell and Wong's design, the magazine wrote: "The 12'-by-19'9" combination room has lots of glass, a view of the back play court, a fireplace and plenty of space for family dining and parties. The plan permits a small but cozy and quiet living room for parents. When the third bedroom is added, parents will have even further privacy because it is built at the rear of the garage, in close relationship to the adult part of the house. The house is divided into two wings, one for living, one for sleeping. They are connected by an entrance hall and a play court, and from the entrance hall there is direct access to every room. Exterior walls of the house are textured plywood; interior finish, dry wall panels; floor, concrete."
