Side Court

In the tradition of New England farmhouses that evolve over time, we added wings which extend the house into the landscape and include a new living room, studio, and an indoor “endless pool.”

The house responds to the Greek Revival traditions of the neighborhood on the exterior with a wholly unexpected interior.  The house is organized around two courts:  first, an arrival court on the public side, and second, a garden court on the quiet private side.

Coast Cottage captures the spirit of old summer houses on the Maine coast, at the same time rugged but refined, understated but well-appointed.

The house is like a village of small Greek Revival houses surrounding a south-facing courtyard sheltered from the wind.
