Bungalow Details: Exteriors

An Arts & Crafts design sourcebook-the must-have guide to choosing exterior architectural details for any home.


In their latest book, bungalow experts Jane Powell and Linda Svendsen identify the finer points and visual characteristics that make a bungalow a true bungalow, and show how to incorporate these important details into a small home. The authors skillfully explain how to identify details and blend them together, and offer insight into the Arts and Crafts philosophy behind a bungalow's uses.
A sleeping porch, a pergola, an exposed rafter tail, an extensive use of wood, stone, and brick: none of these features alone characterize a bungalow. However, with Bungalow Details: Exterior, anyone can become a bungalow expert, and be able to confidently spot a true bungalow when they see one.
