Small Bungalows Book

The bungalow is a true reflection of our culture, and like any art form, trend or technology, it is forced to change to accurately reflect our time. Small Bungalows is a compact guide to getting started on building a new Arts and Crafts home that fits today's modern lifestyle. From interior elements such as entry, living room, dining room, pantry, mudroom, den, staircase, bedrooms and bathrooms to exterior elements such as siding, vented gables, roofing, windows, porch columns and railings, author Christian Gladu shares ideas on incorporating modern necessities into this classic home style. This handy volume features detailed home plans, photographs and illustrations as well as sections on following sustainable and green building principles to help design the small bungalow that's perfect for you.
