Could you live in an Airplane?

The Airplane

The name was coined due to the apparent winglike features and it's aerodynamic looking design. Although it has just under 2,600 sq. ft. of living space, the airplane has the feel of a much more spacious home. 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a large open porch are just a few of the options included in this timeless example of architectural delight.

Bungalow Architecture

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:51:59 +0000

Bungalows are a form of residential architecture that was widely popular across America and, to some extent, the world between 1890 and 1940. Bungalows became so popular that companies like Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Montgomery Ward offered mail-order houses that were pre-cut in factories then shipped out for fabrication on site by local carpenters. One could buy a mail-order bungalow for as little as $900.
The bungalow actually traces its origins to the Indian province of Bengal. The native thatched roof huts were adapted by the British, who built bungalows as houses for administrators and as summer retreats. Refined and popularized in California, the first California house dubbed a bungalow was designed by the San Francisco architect A. Page Brown in the early 1890s.

Characteristics of a Bungalow

Influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, bungalow architecture emphasizes a horizontal link between the house and the land around it. The use of natural, local materials and colors also reinforce this home-earth relationship. California Bungalows are commonly seen with Craftsman lines or in a Spanish Colonial motif.
Bungalow features:

• Low, sloping roof either gabled (front or side) or hipped, often with wide overhangs
• Exposed roof structure (beams, rafters)
• Exterior proportions balanced rather than symmetrical in arrangement
• Modest front porch
• Front stoop
• Focus on a garden, even if small
• Open, informal floor plan
• Prominent hearth
• Interior wood details

Bungalow Styles

California bungalows are commonly seen with Craftsman lines or in a Spanish Colonial motif, but many surprising variations of bungalows exist, such as:

• California
• Craftsman
• Mission
• Tudor
• Prairie
• Foursquare
• Spanish Colonial
• Pueblo
• Log Cabin
• Colonial
• Chicago
• Cape Cod
• Swiss Chalet
• Modern

Berkshire County Custom Home Builder

Custom Craftsman Bungalows Have Found a Home in The Berkshires

“The Evergreen” Hinsdale, MA

Berkshire Bungalow Homes are stick-built homes using sturdy 2”x 6” framed construction. They are outfitted with interiors reminiscent of the “Arts and Crafts” era in American home-building when the words “quality and value” had true meaning.

The interiors of each Berkshire Bungalow can be “Custom Crafted” by our designers to suit the individual tastes and desires of each homeowner.

A comment from Jay Lux (owner of Berkshire Bungalows) in regards to their most recent build... " We are currently building in Hinsdale for a customer who wanted a stock plan customized just for them. They loved the style and floor plan of 'The Evergreen' but wanted to expand its footprint from 1875 SF up to 2500 SF. We enlarged all the bedrooms, turned one into a home office, added a three season sun-room, added more garage space, enlarged the kitchen, and added a side entrance for a mudroom that also has access from the built in two car garage."

The stunning exterior showcases characteristic open eaves and a large front porch providing a welcoming outdoor living space.

The formal living room features a fireplace encased by built-in book shelves, and a real stone fireplace reaching up to a ceiling height of 9 feet.

French doors lead to a Great Room covered with a vaulted ceiling as does the Master Suite which also has a corner fireplace. The Master bath encompasses a fully tiled grand benched shower that spans nearly 8 ft x 4 ft.

There will be 5” oak floors in every room of the home with exception of the Kitchen, Sun-room, and bathrooms which will be adorned with custom tile.

"The homes interior is entrenched with detailing that is reminiscent of a time when true craftsman built homes"
