The word bower is defined as a pleasant, shady place beneath trees. Every detail of the property reflects this aesthetic, from the connecting front yards to the floorplans.
The brand identity mirrors the resident’s experience: viewing the world from within an inspiring setting. The logo takes the shape of a cottage window looking out on a canopy of tree branches.
Each home is named for characters in classic literature and beloved children's books set in gardens and forests.
