A Modern Coastal Residence
This contemporary custom house on the coast in southern Maine was inspired by the forms of fishing shacks that have clung to the state’s rugged shoreline for centuries. Breaking the overall volume of the residence into segments helped integrate it seamlessly into the site, evoking tumbled boulders from the ocean’s nearby edge. A cladding of weathered cedar and stone likewise stands in perfect harmony with the hues of nature.
Interior Architecture Approach:
A Contemporary Family Sanctuary
Inside, the residence balances intimate, functional spaces with an overall sense of openness and light. The vaulted oak ceiling creates visual warmth while custom millwork and built-in elements maximize the efficiency of the living spaces. The meticulous interplay of warm wood elements against crisp white surfaces creates a tranquil interior environment characterized by clean geometries and thoughtful detailing. Strategic skylights and carefully positioned windows flood the space with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the home’s connection to its remarkable coastal setting in all seasons
