Description
Summary:The bungalow as we know it was created when British colonial administrators adapted a classic style of Indian architecture to build their summer retreats: All the typical rooms of a house were organized on one floor around a central parlor. Bungalows today are single or one and a half stories buildings combining the ingenious spatial solutions of apartment floor plans with the autonomy of detached single family houses. And they are back in vogue again not only among homebuyers because they are highly functional, eco friendly and easily accessible, which also makes them a valuable investment for the future. The bungalows presented in this volume show the wide variety of options in terms of size, floor plans and design. The featured designers and architects create homes that satisfy the highest demands for uniqueness, comfort and quality.
