A bungalow is a single-story home that provides significant benefits over larger, multi-level homes. Bungalows tend to be much more affordable than larger homes, especially in the hot real estate markets in and around the GTA. In addition to being more affordable, the smaller living space that a bungalow provides is much easier to clean and maintain. The absence of a second storey eliminates the need for stairs, which makes these homes perfect options for older people as well as couples with young children.

 

The characteristics that make bungalows appealing to many people are also the characteristics that turn other people away from them. The smaller living space of a bungalow can feel confining to some, but new open concept bungalow designs are challenging the way many people think about bungalows. An open concept design will maximize the available space in the home and have a dramatic effect on how large the interior of the home feels.

 

 

A new open concept bungalow is an excellent and affordable option for prospective homeowners looking to build a new home that maximizes available space. For new homes, talented home designers are able to help clients design a new custom bungalow from the ground up, one that incorporates a number of different open concept ideas. This will often include plans for an open concept custom kitchen and/or an open concept living room area that gives the bungalow a spacious feeling that is not normally attributed to bungalow living. Custom floorplans and blueprints can be produced to translate the client ideas into a custom built reality.

 

For homeowners who already own a bungalow, home designers can design renovation projects that transform the existing layout into an open concept within the existing confines of the home. It is incredible how an open concept kitchen or living room can provide additional living space and improve overall enjoyment of the home.

 

 

Designers face the tough task of understanding client ideas and turning them into workable floor plans and custom blue prints. Further complications, misconceptions and delays can arise when there is a lack of communication between the designer and the construction company chosen for the project.

 

Choosing a respected and reputable design and build construction company for the custom bungalow build or existing bungalow renovations is an efficient way to streamline the entire project. These companies can overlap the design process with the construction phase of the project, thereby promoting continuity and familiarity. This type of build model provides optimal communication between the design and construction teams to ensure that the project is completed to the client’s needs, on time and within budget. It also provides a single point of accountability for the entire project, which eliminates the client’s need to actively organize multiple designers and contractors.
