Progressive Builders Homes

Designed for defense workers, these small two-bedroom boxes with gabled shingled roofs are sited in close proximity to the Burbank Airport. Each stucco clad and redwood sided home offer three separated entrances for private, public, and service functions with a living room oriented towards the rear that opens out onto a covered patio and back garden.
