AI summary
The bungalow became a popular home style in New Zealand after WWI, valued for its Arts & Crafts feel and comfortable design. A key variation is the California bungalow, which can be one-and-a-half storeys.
Their simple floor plans and generous sections make them ideal for modern renovations, such as rear extensions and kitchen updates. When renovating, prioritise improving thermal efficiency, as original bungalows often have poor solar orientation and lack insulation. Character features are readily available for restoration projects.
