Continuing our search for moderate priced bungalows we have selected one which is almost exactly half the cost of the bungalow illustrated in our previous issue. As most of our readers are aware, various claims have been presented for cheap bungalows, but in every case the planning was so miserly, the rooms so small, the finish so cheap, as to be devoid of all attractiveness and livability.
The design illustrated below offers the space of a normal fair-sized flat with an arrangement of rooms that can be varied to suit individual tastes and requirements but which can in any case offer roominess without spaciousness, and every convenience at an economic level.
The specification includes external steel docrs and windows, internal teak-faced slab doors, teak parquet flooring and skirtings; good standard of bathroom and kitchen fittings, and good quality finish of internal and external plastering.
The external design is one of clean lines and proportioned openings and will result in a very attractive residence, with a little planting of shrubbery and window boxes.
The small study off the living room can be changed some- what and made into a dining room annex to the living room by the simple expedient of widening the door opening and making an archway between the two rooms. A door opening into the wall between the study and the pantry-kitchen instead of the door from the kitchen into the living room would further facilitate service into the dining room.
As will be seen from our schedule of quantities, the total cost is $32,000.00 which is the basic cost for the building itself, including foundations. The cost of the land and the site formation work is not included and will naturally depend upon the location and accessibility. We imagine, however, that if a group of people got together and shared the expense of a fairly large site that the total cost, figuring about 5,/7,000 sq. ft. of land per bungalow, could be kept down to below $45,000.00.
We might mention that we are visualizing this building constructed of Vi-Con block walls and hollow tile reinforced concrete roof, which form of construction, together with the provision for through draught in all rooms, will ensure cool, pleasant rooms, free from projecting columns and hanging beams.
The total covered area is 1,562 sq. ft. and, figuring an average height of 12′, that is, from half the depth of the foundations to half the height of the parapet wall, gives a volume of 18,744 cu. ft. This works out at a cube rate of $1.70. By substituting hardwood doors and windows, both interior and exterior, cement rendered dadoes and floors instead of mosaic and glazed tiling in kitchen and bathroom, and eliminating teak floors, the cost could be reduced by $5,400.00. The rate per cu. ft. on this specification works out at $1.40 per cu. ft.
