What makes it different from other
small, one or one-and-a-half story houses? Many say that it's hard to
describe, but you know one when you see it. And knowing one when you see
it is all about knowing how to spot the details. With Arts & Crafts homes,
it is often the way the details are combined, and the philosophy they
represent, that makes a house an authentic Arts and Crafts bungalow. It is
not just knee braces in the gable, nor a river rock column, or a three part
front window.
In Bungalow Details: Exterior, bungalow experts Jane Powell and Linda Svendsen identify the finer points and visual characteristics
that make a bungalow a bungalow, and show how to incorporate these important
details into your bungalow. The authors skillfully explain how to identify
the details and the ways of blending them, and offer insight into the
Arts & Crafts philosophy behind their use.
A sleeping porch, a pergola, an exposed rafter tail, an extensive use of
wood, stone, and brick: none of these things by themselves characterize a
bungalow. With Bungalow Details, however, anyone can become a
bungalow expert, and be able to confidently "know a bungalow when they see
one."
Bungalow Details is the ultimate resource book and will show you how
to incorporate these details into your home's design. Included are
historical sidebars and general how-to information that will enable you
to appreciate, re-create, or apply these details in planning your unique
bungalow.
The Author is also available for consultations.
