- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: A dream house remains a dream for most people but not for Mr Edward Curtis of Rickmansworth. Being an architect, Mr Curtis was able to incorporate many fascinating ideas in a house which he has designed and built for his family. The most revolutionary idea is the solar heating system - first in the United Kingdom - which draws its heat from the atmosphere by means of a heat exchanger on the roof of the garage - warming the house in winter and cooling it in summer.
