The California Bungalow style is a product of the growing
influence of American culture on Australian life in the
twentieth century. An expressive use of timber and earthy
materials such as clinker brick and river stones characterise
the materials of the Bungalow style.
Low-pitched roofs, horizontality of form and substantial
verandah arrangements provided a style that connected with
the surrounding environment, encouraging movement from
the indoors to outdoors.
