It comes from the days of the British Raj in India. When they first set out the Town Plan, for summer residences at Doolappi, North India. They engaged a military architect (who was used to designing army barracks) called colonel William Bungalow to oversee the construction of two storey residences. He got all the plans the wrong way round and built two separate single storey houses. No-one had seen the likes of them before and didn't know what to call them. So they were called after the architect Bungalow Bill, because he had nothing upstairs.

A bungalow (Hindi: बà¥à¤¨à¥à¤à¤²à¥à¤µ) is a type of single story house. The word derives from Hindi word bangla from 1676. It literally means a house "in the Bengal style".[1] Such houses were traditionally small, only one story, thatched and had a wide veranda.[2] Bungalows today are a type of house that is usually single story or one and a half stories, and can be quite large
