When surrounded by nature’s beauty, one’s
home should complement the environment.
Windermere’s unique architectural plans do just
that — they are designed "into the landscape."
Inspired by the 19th-century Arts & Crafts
movement, our comprehensive aesthetic is
perfectly suited to the wooded backcountry of
southern Connecticut.
Living Beautifully - inside
Prizing simplicity, quality craftsmanship, and good
design, the Arts & Crafts movement harmonized
architecture with nature. This visionary ideal
replaced the constrained formality of the Victorian
era with clean lines, graceful forms, and, above
all, comfort. Arts & Crafts artisans celebrated the
"artistry" of nature, while creating some of the most
innovative concepts in architectural history.
Windermere’s architecture is inspired by the work
of English Arts & Crafts architect C. F. A. Voysey
(1874-1941), whose groundbreaking style featured
continuous rooftops that appear to blend in with
the landscape and each other.
