Photographers note:
Windamere is a lovely cottage in many respects- but no one can deny that the roof is just outstanding.
Shingle thatch is the technique of using cedar shingles to recreate the texture and look of a reed-thatched roof, made all the more realistic by steam-bent shingles along roof edges, curved framing members, and undulating shingle courses.
There are still older craftsmen in Carmel who have the skill to to this.
