For Brightview Shelton, inspiration was literally next door. The bucolic Connecti- cut setting has a working farm adjacent, so designers settled on contemporary farm- house styles, with lasting appeal to multiple generations. “The farmhouse design has become pop-

The two-story main lobby extends from the front door to the back courtyard.
