Bungalow Details Exterior by Jane Powell (2004, Hardcover)

Description: What defines an Arts & Crafts bungalow? What makes it different from other small one or one-and-a-half story houses? Many say that it's hard to describe but you know one when you see it. And knowing one when you see it is all about knowing how to spot the details. With Arts & Crafts homes it is often the way the details are combined and the philosophy they represent that makes a house an authentic Arts and Crafts bungalow. It is not just knee braces in the gable nor a river rock column or a three part front window. In their latest book bungalow experts Jane Powell and Linda Svendsen identify the finer points and visual characteristics that make a bungalow a bungalow and show how to incorporate these important details into your bungalow. The authors skillfully explain how to identify the details and the ways of blending them and offer insight into the Arts & Crafts philosophy behind their use. A sleeping porch a pergola an exposed rafter tail an extensive use of wood stone and brick: none of these things by themselves characterize a bungalow. With Bungalow Details however anyone can become a bungalow expert and be able to confidently know a bungalow when they see one. Jane Powell is the proprietor of House Dressing a business dedicated to renovating and preserving old homes. She is a frequent lecturer and consultant and is the author of Bungalow Kitchens and Bungalow Bathrooms. Linda Svendsen a graduate of Music and Art High School and Parsons School of Design in New York has been a renowned photographer for more than thirty years.
