Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Renaissance Architecture of Central and Northern Spain: A Collection of Photographs and Measured Drawings
Bungalow design in the Colonial style when properly planned possesses unusual charm and an air of refinement rarely found in any other style. This little Cape Cod house at once endears itself to the New Englander who has spent years in this environment. \vith all its simplicity, it is delightful in its home like appearance, its good proportions, and its harmony of simple Colonial details. It is adaptable to all regional or climatic conditions.
Following the precedent of this type of house the living room is reached directly through the simple Colonial entrance doorway. As one enters the living room a charming view of the garden is obtained through the living room casement doors which open into the garden porch. In this plan the garden is featured so that the two principal rooms, the bedroom and the living room, overlook the garden. The kitchen is placed in the front of the house, and is reached through the service entrance, which is placed on the side. This entrance has direct communication with the kitchen, and also with the basement. Following the precedent of nearly all of the plans of this book, both the kitchen and basement may be reached without passing through any other portion of the house.
