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.
