Model housing

Article Abstract:

A group of designers practicing in Boston, MA, volunteered their services to decorate a residence for homeless people with AIDS. A three-story house in Dorchester was given a comfortable atmosphere for residents by the individual touches contributed by each designer. The designers were allowed to use their own designs for assigned rooms, and the result shows personal character in the use of colors, draperies and furnishings.
