“Every great architect is – necessarily – a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.”
NOTED BUNGALOW ARCHITECTS
PRESERVATION ARCHITECTS & YOUR HISTORIC BUNGALOW
How many times have you been house hunting, out for a Sunday drive, or just looking at images of houses online & been dismayed by choices made by folks wanting to “improve” their bungalows? These choices can include:
Cladding the front exterior in marble (only the front, mind you. Marble’s ‘spensive!)
Adding an attached garage- a triple one!
Doubling the house’s size in a variety of strange configurations.
Adding trim or features appropriate to other style periods, Victorian gingerbread being my favorite. I always feel like the bungalows are embarrassed to be wearing all this “fancy stuff.”
