  In 1909, in his Craftsman Homes, Gustav Stickley sought to tell what the style was all about, declaring that a bungalow was a "house reduced to its simplest form," one that "nevr fails to harmonize with its surroundings, because its low broad proportions and lack of ornamentation give it a character so natural and unaffected that its seems to blend into any landscape".
• 
  The hipped roof is a distinguishing feature of the bungalow style which is particularly appropriate for hot climates, since warm air rises up into the high roof and leaves the rooms below cooler.

  Rough and irregular brickwork is distinctive of the craftsman style. Clinker-bricks were originally discarded because they were discolored or distorted. Around 1920, they were discovered by Craftsman architects to be usable, distinctive and charming! The name "clinker-brick" comes from the sound that they would make when banged together, being heavier than regular bricks. Click here to see other examples of clinker bricks.
