Travel back in time with Oregon-based designer Christian Gladu's authentic bungalow-style homes... -- Home magazine, January 1, 2000

Product Description
The Arts & Crafts movement popularized more than a century ago is currently enjoying a revival--and with good reason. Finally, the "lowly" bungalow, once considered too small and style-starved, is gaining popularity as new bungalow communities crop up across the nation. With its emphasis on handcrafted beauty, quality workmanship, and respect for natural materials, today's bungalow style offers friendly streetscapes and sensible, ecologically oriented homes that work for modern families.

Bungalow Plans contains house plans that may be modest in size by today's standards, but integrate the style and timeless charm of the past with a modern point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Showcasing practical, efficient, and "people friendly" home, October 8, 2002

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Profusely illustrated with simple yet methodical diagrams and gorgeous color photography, Bungalow Plans by bungalow development experts Christian and Christen Gladu (owners of the Bungalow Company, Bend, Oregon) is an impressive collection of twenty-five bungalow plans from top-class designers. Bungalow Plans is an enthusiastically recommended, beautifully presented showcase of practical, efficient, and "people friendly" homes in this distinctive architectural style.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book , December 30, 2006

By	Tim Crumley "timmyjane" (South Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am studying plans for a new craftsman neighborhood that I am building in. This book is not very helpful. It has a few pictures that may help with some exterior design choices but that is all. There are only about 20 plans in this book and none are very good. The plans have no dimensions on them. There is no way to tell what the width or depth is. We have some tight lots so all the houses have to be less than 40' wide. Save your money and buy Craftsman Style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bungalow Book, November 23, 2008

Nice book, worth getting if you plan on designing your own home - or altering design of a stock home.
