Faircourt No. 3 & 4 extends the 1956 Faircourt recording by fifty houses, and it lands in the year that changes the Eichler plan permanently. The atrium — an open-air room dropped into the middle of the house — enters the catalogue in the late fifties, and 1957 tracts are where you start finding it.
That makes this recording worth comparing directly against its own predecessor. Same name, same neighborhood, one year apart, and potentially a fundamentally different plan type. The recorded lots run along Talisman Drive.
What was built here
The classic period. Larger plans, more assured roof geometry, longer glass runs — and, from about 1957, the atrium: an open-air room dropped into the middle of the plan. Whether a given house has one is the first question to ask.
What moves the number in Faircourt No. 3 & 4
- Atrium plans may be present here where they are not in the 1956 Faircourt recording.
- An atrium is a strong preference either way — it adds light and loses conditioned floor area.
- Several have been enclosed over the years. Enclosure is common, reversible, and consequential to value.
