As the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century offered
the dream of exchanging the squalor and ugliness of cities for a
more relaxed, aesthetically pleasing lifestyle, architect Robert
Alexander 'Bungalow' Briggs was the leading proponent of a new type
of housing embodying the movement's ideals. Following the success
of his 1891 book Bungalows and Country Residences, in 1909 Briggs
published Homes for the Country, aiming to inspire "that numerous
class who contemplate building a house but who are unable to decide
in what form their ideas may be carried out." This remastered
edition features Briggs' varied designs for light, spacious
dwellings. Detailed line drawings and floor plans are accompanied
by notes on layout and construction. Homes for the Country is a
fascinating and inspiring look into the creative mind of a man
lauded by architects, historians and designers alike.
