Product Description
Designs, plans, and illustrations from the leader of the Arts and Crafts movement in homebuilding.
In 1901, Gustav Stickley began to create the first uniquely American style of furniture and home design—known as Craftsman. Stickley's principles of home design include construction that is in harmony with its landscape, open floor plans, built-in storage, and natural lighting. He was a major influence on Frank Lloyd Wright, and he remains one of the great names in American architecture. Craftsman Homes and Bungalows showcases his work in an affordable, attractive new edition. Featuring hundreds of black-and-white photographs, line drawings, and sketches of cabins, cottages, and bungalows from concept to finished product, it presents easy-to-understand directions on both home construction and improvement. This resource, a combination of three of Stickley's works, is a comprehensive introduction to the design and building of beautiful Craftsman homes.

A Glorious Collection for Lovers of the Arts & Crafts Period
Gustav Stickley is the most far-thinking American in the Arts & Crafts period. Like many others he designed house and furniture. But inlike many of them, he wrote about it and wrote lots. This volume is a collection of his three books of house plans, reproduced just as he published them.
It's a revelation of good design in houses. And a source of great ideas for our own homes. Looking at this book I found so much to admire and desrie and emulate.
I want to live in a Stickley house and, since that's not possible, I want to make my house look like one.
