Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman Homes and Bungalows

A remarkable collection of Stickley home designs. In 1901, Gustav Stickley created the first uniquely American style of furniture and home design—known as Craftsman. A leader of the Arts and Crafts movement in homebuilding and a major influence on Frank Lloyd Wright, Stickley created home designs that valued construction in harmony with its landscape: open floor plans, built-in storage, and natural lighting. In his lifetime, he designed at least 241 homes in this style and published more than 200 plans in his journal, The Craftsman . Stickley remains one of the great names in design, and Craftsman Homes and Bungalows showcases his work in an affordable, attractive new edition. Featuring several hundred black-and-white photographs, line drawings, and sketches of cabins, cottages, and bungalows from concept to finished product, it presents easy-to-understand directions for both home construction and improvement. This new, all-encompassing volume will provide guidance and inspiration to everyone who wants to understand or reproduce the Stickley style. — ASIN: 1510768807 | ISBN13: 9781510768802 | ISBN-13: 978-1510768802
