U.S. architects.
The Greene brothers established a partnership in Pasadena, Calif., in 1894. Using a Modernist approach, they pushed the older
Stick style further than it had ever gone. In the years 1904–11 they pioneered the influential California bungalow, a single-storied house with a low-pitched roof. Their bungalows feature wide, low volumes, the use of balconies and verandas to achieve a melding of indoor and outdoor space, and frank utilization of wood members (
sticks), exquisitely worked and extending gracefully beyond the edges of the spreading
gables.
