Bungalows (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025318813)

"Bungalows" is a comprehensive exploration of one of the most beloved and enduring architectural styles in residential history. This essential guide delves into the design, construction, and furnishing of the bungalow, offering a detailed look at how these charming, single-story homes became a staple of early 20th-century living. Henry Saylor meticulously examines the various types of bungalows, from seaside cottages to suburban residences, and provides practical advice on everything from site selection and foundation work to interior layout and aesthetic decoration.

The work emphasizes the bungalow's unique blend of simplicity, economy, and artistic expression. Readers will find insightful discussions on the importance of the porch, the arrangement of living spaces, and the use of natural materials like wood and stone to create a harmonious connection with the outdoors. Richly illustrated with conceptual ideas and floor plans, "Bungalows" serves as both a historical record and a source of inspiration for architects, homeowners, and admirers of functional design. Whether focusing on the technical aspects of construction or the nuances of interior design, Saylor captures the spirit of a movement that sought to make well-designed, comfortable housing accessible to all.
