House project
 

I am restoring this duplexed American Craftman style bungalow, also referred to as "arts and crafts".  This style originated withGustav Stickley (1858-1942) and plans were published in his magazine The Craftsman.

The features of the style include

  • Low roofline with over-hanging eaves

  • Exposed structural elements as brackets and rafters

  • Enclosed porch beneath an extended roof

  • Interior spaces featuring built-ins as benches, cabinetry, fireplaces

  • Beamed ceilings and extensive simplicity of woodwork
