Bungalows
Bungalows are a simpler type of houses that cost less than cottages. The design of bungalows is influenced by Bengali-style houses which were built when the typical Indian style low ceilings and porches were copied by British Colonial administrators.
Cottages
Cottages are comparatively expensive and are characterized particularly by thatched roofs. They have small windows and lower ceilings as compared to other types of houses. Earlier, cottages used to be in rural areas only but now many are seen in cities as well. Farmers and their families used to own cottages in the middle ages. Most of the cottages have one and a half storeys, the upper storey being very small. Cottages have thick, dark and classic timber pillars which make them distinct. Different kinds of cottages are built in different cities.
