Description
|
|
|
|
In an almost archaeological approach, this book takes a very specific, mundane aspect of residential architecture—the bungalow door—and explains how it came to reflect the aesthetic principles and shifts in taste that influenced bungalow design in general. The author also offers advice to current bungalow owners on evaluating and improving their own front doors. The book focuses primarily on the front door but includes examples of interior and side doors, as well as images that illustrate the metalwork, art glass, and joinery that were hallmarks of arts and crafts design. This is one of the compact surveys in the Bungalow Basics series by restoration consultant Paul Duchscherer, spotlighting a particular aspect of these pleasantly cozy, well designed, and affordable homes from the early 20th century. It features some 50 color photos of restored and well-preserved examples.
