Bungalow Bliss, first published in 1971, was a book of house
designs that buyers could use to build a home for themselves
affordably. It first appeared two years before Ireland was to
join the EEC as a self-published catalogue by Jack Fitzsimons
from his Kells Art Studios in County Meath. He and his wife
designed and collated it and printed it locally. Fitzsimons
sold these books out of his car to newsagents, petrol garages
and bookshops. Over the course of thirty years, Fitzsimons sold
over a quarter of a million copies of his catalogue. The
first edition contained twenty designs – the final edition
contained two hundred and sixty. This guidebook of how to build
your own home radically transformed housing in Ireland. Now,
for the first time, author and structural engineer Adrian
Duncan looks at the cultural impact that Bungalow Bliss and
the accessible bungalow design had on the housing market, the
Irish landscape, and on the individual families who made
these bungalows their homes.
