3 Bedroom Craftsman Bungalow Home Plan

In the mid-1970s, a revivalism of sorts began among American collectors and preservationists. Pottery, glassworks, furniture, lighting, and houses from the turn of the 20th century were rediscovered and being celebrated for their simplicity of design and traditional beauty. These artistic remnants of the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915 continue to be celebrated today.

Embracing simplicity, handiwork, and natural materials, Craftsman home plans are cozy, often with shingle siding and stone details. Open porches with overhanging beams and rafters are common to Craftsman homes, as are projecting eaves and a low-pitched gable roof. The structural components are often visible, especially around the corners of the home and the gables, which often feature decorative trim. Bungalows, which are often one-and-a-half stories with low-pitched roofs, shallow "shed" dormers and deep porches, are a common form of Craftsman homes.
