Bungalow Style Homes

Also called an Arts and Crafts Bungalow

Bungalow style homes are very popular due to not only that unique bungalow design but also for their typical location, low density neighborhoods. They are excellent homes for small families and those with limited mobility. An Arts and Crafts bungalow is usually one story and designed for easy maneuverability.

Best of all - they have porches! They also happen to be one of our favorite home styles!

Please note in our featured photographer's pictures, some of the features that make bungalow houses unique. Designs for craftsman bungalow house plans are often a simple rectangle but can be modified to fit the lot.

  • Windows are often placed near the roof line to avoid adding special arches in order to support the brick above the windows.
  • Porches are built under expanse of the main roof
  • The porch roof is supported by tapered square columns
  • Porches have exposed rafters

Arts and Crafts Bungalow Considerations


Based on square feet alone, bungalow houses are more usually more expensive to build than two story houses because they require a larger foundation and roof for the same space. The larger foundation can also require a larger lot size which can also add to overall costs.

You will notice that "bungalow" neighborhoods tend to offer more privacy than neighborhoods with two-story homes.

In bungalow neighborhoods, strategically placed trees or shrubs block the view of neighbors whereas with two-story houses, the extra height requires much taller trees to accomplish the same. Because of the proximity to each other, it may not be practical to place tall trees close to the house to obscure the view from the second floor of the next door neighbor.


We extend our appreciation to FL Architect Fan for allowing us to show you his wonderful photos.

Featured Photographer: FL Architect Fan

Fl Architect Fan has had a lifelong affinity for architecture. His training as a real estate agent and real estate appraiser only deepened his interest. He states: "... architecture is history, science and art rolled into one subject, but you can live in too. That is why I like to focus on residences.

Architectural photography gives me the opportunity to share my love with others. My favorite subjects are vintage houses that have been lovingly maintained in a historically correct manner. I have frequently opted to forgo houses that have added architectural elements that aren't period appropriate.

I also like to add occasional, whimsical items, striking pictures of nature when I can find them, ornate public buildings, vintage signs and ghost signs as well as old, severely dilapidated buildings that I have come to see as having a type of beauty all of their own."
