Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is better to build a small house than to overburden the budget with debt for a larger one," advised the noted architectural firm of Stillwell & Company. In their guide to economical homes, the Los Angeles-based builders declared, "A beautiful small house is just as expressive of character, aims, and aspirations as the large house. Mere size is a waste of money and human endeavor." A reaction to the excesses of the Victorian era, the modest bungalow provided a practical, affordable answer to the huge demands of California's housing market in the 1920s. This handsome reprint of a Stillwell & Company catalog is an ideal resource for 21st-century bungalow buyers and renovators as well as for builders seeking details of authentic materials and techniques. Its 50 examples of the classic California bungalow style include magnificently reproduced photographs, in addition to floor plans, estimated costs, and descriptions of exteriors and interiors.

Book excerpt: Now in its fifth printing, this volume provides an architectural and social history of the turn-of-the-century, craftsman-style American dream house in which an owner of modest means could live simply and artistically. California provided the perfect landscape -- scenically, economically, and socially -- for the proliferation of examples ranging from do-it-yourselfers and mass-produced builders' cottages to the sophisticated artifacts of the Greene brothers and the Heinemans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spurred by a rapidly expanding economy and abundant resources of land, building materials and skilled labor, the dream of building and owning one's own home became a reality in America in the 1920s. With the beginning market for small- to medium-sized one-family dwellings came a succession of innovative home designs that transformed American domestic architecture. This outstanding book presents 500 small-home designs of the 1920s as they appeared in a major architectural publication of 1923. Many are by leading domestic architects of the period. Each design is presented in a handsome perspective drawing or photograph, along with floor plans and a description of its principal features. The designs reflect many variations on the basic themes of American colonial architecture, updated by new construction technology and the design aesthetics of the post‒World War I era. The Bungalow and semi-bungalow were perhaps the biggest design news of the times, and they are generously represented in this huge collection. Because of the practicality and good looks of the best of these designs, and perhaps for the nostalgia they evoke, many are being revived today by builders and buyers in communities across America. Architects, architectural, and social historians, students and enthusiasts of architecture and design will find in these pages a rich selection of small-home concepts that once set the standard for a new era in American home design, and that still form an integral part of our landscape many decades after their first inspiration.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1911 as the fourth edition of the Ye Planry Building Company Inc.'s catalog of bungalow plans, this reproduction serves as an informative resource for today's architects, homebuilders, and homeowners. This edition features 102 detailed, hand-drawn "pencil sketches" of floor plans alongside renderings and/or photographs of completed homes that are typical of the early Arts & Crafts Bungalow style. Each house plan, originally available from the company for $10 and complete with detailed lumber lists and specifications, is accompanied by a description of the building materials and finishes used for porches, mantels, chimneys, fixtures, and flooring and ceilings throughout. In addition, the informative foreword by E.B. Rust, the company's secretary, offers a detailed explanation of the defining features of a bungalow home and describes, with interior photography, many considerations for interior design. This is an ideal book for those looking to custom build a home today, for as the foreword states, "The bungalow is as practical as any type of home, in any locality, provided it is properly designed and built."
