Architect Noyes, 42, has spent 15 years looking for ways to make modern living pleasanter. After getting his master's degree from Harvard ('38) in the days when Gropius and Marcel Breuer were revolutionizing the staid architecture department with their Bauhaus ideas, Noyes decided to tackle the whole field of design from industry to houses. He went to work for Designer Norman Bel Geddes, reshaping everything from jukeboxes to radios...

Besides a 500-beat auditorium, the $700,000 building has rooms for dancing, workshop, snack bar, and loungers. Breuer followed the technique of Walter Gropius, with whom he worked here from...
