I rather like the Windsor "look and feel" too. The look is pseudo-Victorian, but that's really just the building facades. (Fenestration means window treatments, a sub-set of the facades).

Underlying the Victorian doo-dads is a serious urban design plan, one that is loosely called "new urbanism." I'm really quite excited about it and I'm glad Ramona has chosen an architect, Orrin Theissen, who understands it.

I've tussled with Orrin before, a dozen years ago before he drank the New Urbanism Kool-Aid. Nevertheless, he's brought good design to Windsor and Graton.

I've written about New Urbanism before. I'll see if I can dredge up some of the stuff I've written. And last spring my wife and I traveled up the East Coast, specifically visiting New Urbanist developments in Florida, South Carolina and Maryland. I took lots of pictures, so maybe it's time to upload some so folks can see what we're talking about.

Incidentally, New Urbanism was really born at a conference in San Francisco nearly 20 years ago and the Bay Area is really its ideological home base. The central organization, the Congress of the New Urbanism is located in San Francisco. Its website has all kinds of documents about the movement and an excellent database of projects and pictures. The site isn't terribly well designed, though: it's a bit clunky. But click on stuff and eventually you'll find interesting things.

Or, ask here and I'll find stuff for you, David, or anyone else. I've been all over this New Urbanism stuff for about four years. In 2000 I attended their convention in Portland, Oregon and I've read a whole lot of the New Urbanism books.
