AI summary
The bungalow is a popular New Zealand home style known for its comfort-focused, Arts & Crafts design that became prevalent after WWI. A key variation is the California bungalow, often featuring one-and-a-half storeys.
Their simple floor plans and generous sections make them ideal for renovation. Common projects include rear extensions and modernising kitchens, with character features easily sourced from reclamation businesses.
Key challenges are improving thermal efficiency, as they often lack insulation and good solar orientation, making an engineer's report essential.
