One of the secrets of the Craftsman-style bungalow is its simplicity: The shapes are solid, and form follows function, from the sheltering front porches to the hefty columns. But the detailing is always rich—a tradition that the team at Bennett Frank McCarthy Architects respected in their renovation of an existing home in a traditional neighborhood well known for its collection of homes of this style. Small elements like the varied widths of the styles in the railings and gable-end detailing, the bands of red trim on the porch columns, and a patterned band in the slate roofing add character in keeping with the heritage of the architecture.
