Synopsis
Excerpt from The Architect and Engineer of California, Vol. 44: January, 1916
The Zuni pueblos built in the cliffs might be taken as the crude proto types oi Mr. H. C. Smith's remarkable apartment houses illustrated in these pages, but the gap between them is the gap between a peashooter and a French 75. The general principle of course is very easy to grasp. One has only to illustrate it with a few toy building blocks. If these are piled on top of one another, each might represent an apartment group in a building of several stories. But if these blocks are placed against a steep slope so that they recede and overlap like a flight of steps with the same raking angle as the hillside, you get the principle of these remarkable apartments where the roof of one suite becomes the forecourt of the one above and behind it.
