Book Description

October 12, 2005
Beyond the Bungalow, the newest book from renowned designer and Arts & Crafts expert Paul Duchscherer, celebrates the larger members of the Arts & Crafts family, and pays tribute to their remarkable artistic beauty, craftsmanship, and diversity of style.
Widely acclaimed as America's favorite "Arts & Crafts Home," the term bungalow may bring a specific image to mind, but it really is one part of a much larger family. This extended family also includes an entire genre of larger-scale Craftsman-period homes, much like those created by architect brothers Charles and Henry Greene.
Beyond the Bungalow includes popular architectural styles like Swiss Chalet, Mission, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and more. These homes comprise a range of style infusions and crossover influences; the sheer scope in variety of shapes and sizes represented among these larger homes entirely surpasses the widest range of the bungalow. Beyond the Bungalow also features a list of must-see museums and homes, and a list of current related periodicals for further study.
With beautiful period interior photography, Duchsherer's newest book is not just an excellent resource, but is an endless inspiration for Arts & Crafts enthusiasts.
Paul Duchscherer is a design historian and interior designer specializing in historic preservation work. Also a prominent lecturer in the Arts & Crafts field, his designs have been featured on This Old House, Curb Appeal, and many other programs, as well as in dozens of magazines and newspapers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Selection Of Larger Than Bungalow Arts & Crafts Homes, July 31, 2006
This review is from: Beyond the Bungalow (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this book because it points out several historic house museums that I was not aware of and can now add to my must see list. This book covers those homes that are not technically bungalows but are still a part of the rich American Arts and Crafts movement.

The text is a bit hard to work through but the author does have some wonderful ideas. There are roughly 50 different houses shown all from the exterior and about 25 have additional interior photos. Not all the homes are available to the public so it is a nice way to see inside some private homes.

This is not a how to book but it covers its subject nicely.

This review is from: Beyond the Bungalow (Hardcover)
I'm sort of obsessed with bungalows and the arts and craft style. I have checked out many books from libraries over and over again and finally decided that I needed to buy some for myself. This was one of the three that I chose to buy. Just really great interior photos of some gorgeous homes.

This review is from: Beyond the Bungalow (Hardcover)
As the owner of a sizeable, tho relatively modest 1917 Craftsman home, there was an automatic attraction to this book. And it's a notable entry in this genre, with nice photography and plenty of textual information. In fact, the one downside - fairly small print, which requires me to dig out my reading glasses - is easily offset by the sheer volume of information provided.
