AI summary
Bungalows are a beloved New Zealand home style, popular since WWI for their comfort and Arts & Crafts feel. A common variation is the California bungalow, which can feature one-and-a-half storeys.
Their simple floor plans and generous sections make them ideal for renovation. Common projects include rear extensions and modern kitchen updates to create open-plan living.
A key consideration for renovators is improving thermal efficiency, as original builds often lack insulation and good solar orientation.
