Description:
"Cincinnati Architect Benjamin Dombar, AIA designed the Richfield residence which is a concreted block structure, one story at the entrance elevation and two stories to the north where the recreation room opens on informal terraces. The Richfield's son occupies the lower level and his two sisters are on the parents level above. One raised and one sunken fireplace dominate the living room and the recreation room. The living room ceiling follows the slope of the rafters, affording a wide open view into tall beech trees. The plan is arranged on a 30-60 degree angle system for greater interest and spaciousness, combined with normal 90 degree planning in secondary areas. Where 30-60 angles are employed, only obtuse angles are in living areas, relegating the acute angles to closets etc. A screened porch off the dining room and an open balcony off the living room are cantilevered, forming a protection over the lower terrace which is oriented for privacy. Standard grooved concrete block was used to furnish an 8" x 8" square pattern. At the entrance, alternating mitered wood strips and glass make a play of light on the angled stairway. Landscape Architect Hans Wachtel designed and executed the informal pool, terraces and landscape features."
