This month, we explore the most common housing styles that you will find in the suburbs of Sydney and Brisbane.

Californian Bungalow, Taringa QLD

Californian Bungalow The Californian bungalow was popular from approximately 1915 to the 1940s. This period coincided with the rise of the Hollywood film industry, which popularised American clothes, furniture, cars and houses.

The Californian bungalow is usually single storey although first floor additions have been carried out over the years. In Sydney the Californian bungalow is constructed out of brick, usually dark in colour whereas in Brisbane, the bungalow was often constructed out of timber.

The bungalow was so popular in Australia that very few houses were built in any other style during the 1920s.

Today the Californian bungalow can be found throughout Sydney and Brisbane’s well-established inner-ring suburbs and they remain popular with couples and families.
