Etymology

The term 'bungalow' originated in India, derived from the Hindi word 'bangala' meaning 'belonging to Bengal'. It was initially used to describe a type of thatched or bamboo dwelling, often used by British colonizers. The design later evolved into the single-story, low-rise houses we now associate with the term. Bungalows gained popularity in the early 20th century and became symbols of cozy, comfortable living spaces.
