"A Bungalow is a little country house - a homely, cosy place . with
the plan so arranged as to ensure complete comfort, with a feeling
of rusticity and ease." 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. His 1891 book Bungalows and Country Residences set a
pioneering template for the house that has become a much-loved part
of neighbourhoods from Surrey to South Africa. This reprint of the
expanded 1901 edition features 47 varied designs for real
buildings, with detailed line drawings and floor plans accompanied
by notes on layout and construction. Bungalows and Country
Residences is a fascinating and inspiring look into the creative
designs of a man lauded by architects, historians and bungalow fans
alike.
