Description

Bungalow Bliss, first published in 1971, was a book of house designs that buyers could use to build a home for themselves affordably.

It first appeared two years before Ireland was to join the EEC as a self-published catalogue by Jack Fitzsimons from his Kells Art Studios in County Meath.

He and his wife designed and collated it and printed it locally.

Fitzsimons sold these books out of his car to newsagents, petrol garages and bookshops. Over the course of thirty years, Fitzsimons sold over a quarter of a million copies of his catalogue.

The first edition contained twenty designs – the final edition contained two hundred and sixty. This guidebook of how to build your own home radically transformed housing in Ireland.

Now, for the first time, author and structural engineer Adrian Duncan looks at the cultural impact that Bungalow Bliss and the accessible bungalow design had on the housing market, the Irish landscape, and on the individual families who made these bungalows their homes.
