Beachside : Windsor Architecture and Design
Hadley Keller
The community of Windsor is located on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and offers elegant–yet–casual seaside living at its best. Planned by the renowned New Urbanists Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, this sublimely landscaped, pedestrian-friendly village by the sea boasts houses by A-list architects and top interior designers, among them John Stefanidis, Steven Gambrel, and Alessandra Branca. The exteriors, Anglo-Caribbean in style, feature steeply pitched roofs, open eaves, cantilevered balconies, and palm-shaded courtyards and pools. The interiors, all executed with exquisite craftsmanship and appointed with fine finishes, range in style from classical and traditional to sleekly contemporary.
Beachside presents a wide array of the houses, indoors and out. Filled with photographs of bougainvillea–framed entrances, airy open–plan living–dining rooms, cosy studies, and bedrooms that open onto balconies with sweeping ocean views, Beachside will inspire anyone yearning for a stylish coastal life.
