Beachside

Proudly displayed on coffee tables around the world, Beachside: Windsor Architecture and Design is a true delight to peruse. This inspirational book, published in the fall of 2021 by Vendome Press, takes readers on a private tour of some of the most beautiful and distinctive homes at Windsor. With inviting courtyards, stylish kitchens and showstopping living spaces, a diverse collection of residences are on display in the 272-page book written by House Beautiful Digital Director Hadley Keller.

The hardcover book, organized by rooms, showcases stunning interiors that range in style from time-honored traditional to chic contemporary. Beachside boasts the work of top-tier designers and architects including John Stefanidis, Steven Gambrel, Hugh Newell-Jacobsen, Scott Merrill and Alessandra Branca, among others. It is filled with photographs taken by award-winning photographer Jessica Klewicki Glynn, whose work has appeared in leading design titles including Architectural Digest, House & Home, Traditional Home and Coastal Living. James Reginato, an author and writer-at-large for Vanity Fair and a contributor to Sotheby’s magazine, penned the introduction.

“Each page is filled with beautiful imagery and words describing our Members’ design inspiration for their home at Windsor,” says Betsy Hanley, president of Windsor. “The uniqueness of the community and our homes is truly embraced within these pages.”

Founded by Canadians W. Galen and Hilary M. Weston, this private seaside village features custom homes bearing a signature Anglo-Caribbean architectural style characterized by steeply pitched roofs, open eaves, cantilevered balconies, and palm-shaded courtyards and pools. “Beachside truly embodies the Windsor lifestyle and what we had so hoped to create here,” says Mrs. Weston.

Now in its second printing, the visually pleasing book has been featured in a variety of publications including House Beautiful, Galerie, Florida Design, Irish Examiner, House & Home and Elle Decor. Veranda magazine listed it among their best new design books in 2021 calling the volume “dreamy,” while Serendipity magazine notes that it will “have you wishing for warm weather and beach days.”
