California bungalows extensions to improve space and style
More common in the northern states, the California bungalow style of house design is becoming increasingly popular. First introduced to Melbourne in 1913 from Los Angeles, its rise in popularity is attributed to the favouring of American style over traditional British design.
If you own a California bungalow home in Melbourne, you may be looking for opportunities to add space and style. To do this without sacrificing the eclectic charm of your home, you should consult with a professional California bungalow renovation company.
At Supa Group, we work with families to redesign and reimagine California bungalows, allowing them to enjoy great space and comfort. Our design consultants will help you identify all of the existing elements that you want to change or retain.
