Description



Book Synopsis



Proximity to the Ground: New Perspectives on Single-Story Living

As a horizontal mode of living, the bungalow is receiving increasing attention in contemporary architecture. Living on a single level enables a close spatial relationship between building, garden, and landscape, reinforcing the role of open space as an integral component of domestic life. At the same time, social and also political expectations are growing for housing models that are ecologically responsible, socially inclusive, and viable in the long term.

In this context, the bungalow offers particular potential: flat and low-profile structures, direct connections to outdoor space, and clearly articulated transition zones enhance undeveloped areas both aesthetically and functionally. In response to climatic challenges, single-story layouts support strategies such as rainwater retention, greening, and microclimatic optimization. Likewise, barrier-free floor plans and open outdoor areas encourage social interaction and an architecture closely attuned to the landscape.
