Other than the U.S., where are California bungalow style homes chiefly found?

Balcony?? ..i think the word they were looking for is Verandah...larger than a porch...

when did Hollywood impact Australia? 1910? and how did a non-existent movie industry impact homestyles? Maybe in the 30s or 40s?

As an Australian who lives on the East coast , we don’t even use the word Bungalow .

"Bungalow" is a broad design term. It's a real estate marketing idea that translates to "small & cramped". Much like "garden level" means it's half underground. Neither of which is neccessarily a bad thing. If you're one who see's the glass as "half full", then It's all good.

Player #7318327, I've lived all over Australia too and this style would be found in at least 6 states. so yes it was a popular style in the mid 20th century. where have you lived?

There are still quite a lot of these houses in Australia, but I never knew they were a Californium influence

ecol528, architecture takes influence from many countries, there’s been some great architects & wonderful ideas out there it’s just a pity at present it seems to be cookie cutter construction these days.

ms.liz, verandah, a porch is small and mostly to protect the doorway whereas a verandah is living space.

Player #30408675, balcony, verandah, patio, porch. does it matter

* Seshati *, always has been. the style mentioned was copied many times in that decade. just drive around most cities, and you will be able to guess when the suburb was developed

Never heard of them called that here in Australia 🤔

ecol528, Exactly what I was thinking as I read the explanation. Plus most of early Hollywood was filmed on studio sets, not outdoors and on location. In Australia we certainly don't use the word bungalow either, it's a Queenslander, Colonial or an Early Settlers home.

Gazman_Melb, Victoria is on the East Coast

They don't have balconies, but they do have lovely deep verandahs or front porches

NF, in SA I have heard of bungalow but not Californian bungalow ever.

We call them Queenslanders, with a verandah on 2 or 3 sides usually. I have never seen with bricks as the style went out decades ago.

I owned an 80-year-old bungalow home, and it was adorable. Albeit a lot of work for upkeep. Nothing was sized to today's standards and repairs were costly. But I loved it.

there wasva trend in the late 80s to own one. lots of them scattered around Sydney and generally on the typical block of 50ft by 150ft
