Throughout
the history of American architecture there has existed a collaborative effort between
gifted architects and skilled builders that resulted in the great architectural
creations defined by the distinct characteristics embodied in each style. These
styles were also defined by their historical context, but each one held the common
thread of an architectural ancestry that is rooted in the classical forms defined
thousands of years ago by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
The
symbiotic relationship between architect and residential builder that existed in
earlier times became strained in the latter half of twentieth century. Many architects
abandoned traditional architecture in favor of more experimental forms that were often best
played out in the design of public buildings. And the decreasing availability of
skilled labor to transform the architect’s inspiration into practical reality caused
the two disciplines to drift apart. The result has been an uninspired building style
that now defines the state of American residential architecture.
At
Connor Homes we are proud to stand as the building company who is redefining how
homes will be built in America. We have gathered an impressive slate of architects
and designers whose inspiration is rooted in traditional architectural forms, and
assembled a building team of highly skilled craftsmen and carpenters, all of whom
work side by side at our state of the art manufacturing facility in Middlebury,
Vermont, to build homes in the manner that was once done by the great architects
and builders of another century. This new collaboration, along with the efficiencies
of a modern manufacturing facility enables our company to offer homes of exquisite
beauty at a cost that is affordable to all.
As
you peruse our website, you will notice that the many homes depicted here do not
look like the new homes that are commonly seen built in America today, and we take
great pride in being the company that is reshaping how the American home can and
will be built now and in the future.
