Название: Bungalows (Shire Library)
Автор: Kathryn Ferry
Издательство: Shire Publications
Год: 2014
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 28 Мб
Язык: английский / English
A bungalow is now understood to be a single story home but that definition is a modern one and when introduced to Britain in the late 1860s the bungalow concept implied much more. Its origins lay in India where the native dwelling of Bengal was appropriated by colonial officials. On its transfer to the Kent coast the bungalow became a new type of holiday home for the upper middle classes complete with veranda and servants quarters. Crucially, these first Western examples attracted artistic inhabitants setting the tone for the bungalow as a Bohemian escape well into the twentieth century.
