The New Bungalow

The Arts & Crafts bungalow has been reborn, in as rich and full an array of iterations as it was in its heyday - from tight clusters of similar inexpensive housing opportunities to the grand, and arguably borderline, bungalow scale of the "ultimate bungalows" of the 1910s. The New Bungalow is a celebration of contemporary interpretations of this classic house style - an art form that symbolizes the best of the good life. It offers an alternative solution to the tract development filled with homes appliqu d with various random trim details and contrived architectural components. It is a guide to creating a home that has a true, honest expression of style. Given their simple lines, spacious and open floor plans, natural tones, and colors, it is no mystery why new bungalow developments are gaining popularity.
