rchitecture can often seem top-down. Hierarchical. Heavy and overly purposeful. Or, at the other end of the spectrum: Utilitarian. Indistinguishable. So where does good design land? For Jessie Carroll of Whitten Architects (The Empathy Effect, page 50), it should have something to do with, among other aspects, simplicity. “There is always the temptation to overwork a problem, which, perhaps surprisingly, can be the easiest path to take. But real beauty comes from simplifying the moves, making it look effortless,” she says.

When somebody makes something look easy, isn’t that when, as Carroll says, “real beauty” comes in? When an exterior landscape connects the surrounding woods to the interior of the home in one smooth, seamless transition (So Much to See on the Water, page 94), when an open floor plan gives a home a sense of flow (Under One Roof, page 62), when you walk into a postage-stamp-size store with beautifully curated—yet somehow uncluttered—shelves (A Designer’s Eye,

page 128)? The effort is invisible, the behind-the-scenes determination an act of design wizardry.

Indeed, the solutions that are the most successful are often the simplest.

But it doesn’t stop there. In The Laws of Simplicity, former president of the Rhode Island School of Design John Maeda writes, “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.” Take, for example, the fireplace in So Much to See on the Water. A mix of rough and smooth granite slabs artfully and elegantly frames the fireplace and offers an eyecatching feature while also heating the room. Granite is the only material used—there’s no wood mantel, no ornate decoration and the pattern and texture of the stone create the visual interest. It’s a beautiful solution that combines function with form, transforming a single material into something more. And it’s unexpected.

Simplicity for its own sake is one thing. But when you combine simplicity and surprise—when you catch someone’s attention and keep it—that’s when a space seems to come alive.

hen I was asked to write the staff note for this month’s issue, I must admit a wave of panic washed over me. What right do I have to write about my home in a publication that celebrates such amazing design and architecture? My husband, Byron, and I live in a nondescript centerstair colonial in Portland.

Then I took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and realized something: after being part of this organization for so many years and seeing the incredible work of so very many talented people on these pages, I do in fact have something to say.

Like you, I love reading each issue, looking at what’s new in design, architecture, and art to see how I can make changes to the home Byron and I share, in order to make it more like us. That is to say, I came to the realization that our home

K I T C H E N C OV E C A B I N E T RY & D E S I G N kitchencovecabinetry.com

Chris Kast Brand Strategist The Brand Company 24 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

is not a reflection of a particular style or period but rather a place that is all about us. It’s about how we like to live, and it reflects our somewhat eclectic aesthetic.

Because, at the end of the day, we want our home to be one thing and one thing only: a sanctuary. A place where we, our family, and our friends feel comfortable and happy.

For us, the greatest compliment is when someone comes over to our house, plops down on the sofa, puts their feet up, and is able to relax. We also get a tad giddy when those same people reach toward the coffee table to grab the latest issue of Maine Home+Design so they, too, can dream and scheme about turning their homes into their sanctuaries.

Thank you for supporting us, and keep dreaming!

WE LOVE MAINE. We fill our work days creating Maine-centric media products—publishing magazines and guides, producing radio shows, managing social media sites, developing websites, filming videos, producing events—because of this simple tenet. Our staff have stayed here, come back here, or moved here because we love Maine’s rich history, its unique character, and the people who live here, and most important, because we believe in Maine’s potential.

We simultaneously love the Maine we grew up in and fully embrace the reality that things change and evolve. And we bear witness to that happening here. We are cheerleaders for Maine as a place for people to live, stay, and thrive—a place for people from away to move to, a place for second homeowners to buy into, a place to raise children, a place to start and operate a business—as well as a place to visit and explore, a place to escape and heal. And, a place to be inspired.

We cover Maine in a positive light. We intentionally leave the negativity and snark to other media outlets.

There is a place for everything, and we honor that.

But that place is not here.

So if you love Maine, please turn to us with your reading eyes, your listening ears, your follows and your likes, your attendance, and your advertising and sponsorships. Explore what we believe is the best Maine has to offer, on the pages of our magazines and guides, through the airwaves, at events, and via social media.

The Maine Home+Design subscription helps our guests to enjoy the beauty that our community has to offer. We have done some relatively simple renovations to freshen up the inn. As we progress through our first season, Ingunn Milla Joergensen will be coming in and helping us add more to our design to really make it stand out.

BILL & LISA DRIES KENNEBUNKPORT, ME We visited Maine a lot when our son was at Bates College in Lewiston. I saw your magazine during one visit and loved it, and I now dream about traveling again to Maine. I use ideas from the magazine for our own home, even though the setting in New Mexico is very different. I like to see sources for what is pictured and where I could purchase the same items or services. It’s a beautiful magazine.

Q+A

with Paul Harris of Cole Harris Associates about the LEED certification process David Snow’s camp on East Grand Lake in Forest City has been in his family for more than 100 years. When he decided to build a new home on the property with Paul Harris of Cole Harris Associates in Westport, Connecticut, and builder Mike Hewes of Hewes and Company in Blue Hill, they sought to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification to maintain the integrity of the property. Based on a 100-point system, the LEED levels of Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum are based on the environmental impact and human benefits of the building site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environment quality, and innovation in design. We spoke with Harris, a LEED Accredited Professional, about the process.

Q. WHAT DID THE LEED CERTIFICATION ENTAIL?

A.

It requires the commitment of the entire team: the owner, architect, builder, landscape architect, engineers, and verification consultants. Once goals are defined, they help inform decision making throughout the project. In the case of this home, the LEED goals were in step with the owners’ goals of stabilizing and improving the legacy of the property. These included minimal site disruption, droughtresistant indigenous plantings, water and energy efficiency, and the use of certified local materials and local contractors. Our mission was “built in Maine, made from Maine.”

Q. WHAT WAS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS IN ACHIEVING LEED GOLD?

A.

Getting the right green consultants on board at the beginning ensured a high level of success. Once we built our core team (including the green and Energy Star raters, testing companies, and suppliers), it was a process not much different from what is encountered designing and constructing any ambitious project.

Q. WERE THERE ADDITIONAL

COSTS INVOLVED IN CERTIFICATION?

A.

I would estimate that the LEED requirements cost around 5 to 7 percent of the total construction budget. Some of this will be recouped over time due to less maintenance and improved energy efficiency. The consultant fees were extremely economical, and while third-party testing (for air and water quality, building envelope efficiency, and mechanical systems) does require extra effort and cost, our caliber of construction is at a level that anticipates some of the additional costs due to LEED requirements.

Hand-stenciled tire tracks zoom up the wall of a child’s bedroom in From Classic to Contemporary: Decorating with Cullman and Kravis by Elissa Cullman and Tracey Pruzan (The Monacelli Press, 2017).

The “tire tracks” on the wall of this little boy’s bedroom? They’re actually a handpainted stencil. The design, featured in From Classic to Contemporary: Decorating with Cullman and Kravis, uses paint rather than wallpaper, since paint is low-commitment and can be touched up in case of scuffs or an errant scribble. Get a similar, kid-friendly look by incorporating movement and high energy—both in the form of a highoctane color palette of blue, orange, and green, as well through more literal interpretations such as a Britishdesigned roadster toy car and wooden Radio Flyer tricycle. Softening the space is a chevron carpet in a subtle neutral—a cozy base on which to layer an apple green rug. While the animated design works now for a young, active boy, it can easily shift gears as he grows up.

“Good design is still about proportion, composition, and a balanced range of colors, materials, and textures that you respond to,” Cullman writes, “no matter your age or personal style.” MH+D

THE EMPATHY EFFECT

JESSIE CARROLL ON INSPIRATION, INTUITION, AND INTENTION

“A

s an architect practicing residential architecture, my theory on design is to approach it from a position of empathy,” says Jessie Carroll of Whitten Architects in Portland.

“When I refer to empathy, I am referring to a relational stance not just with our clients, but also with the design process and context itself. A position that emphasizes hearing rather than being heard, where humility promotes collaboration, and a genuine curiosity inspires exploration.” MH+D asks Carroll to tell us more.

IN MH+D’S CONTINUING COLLABORATION WITH AIA MAINE, WE PRESENT TO YOU EACH MONTH A DESIGN CONCEPT FROM AN ARCHITECT’S POINT OF VIEW. 50 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Q. A.

Why is it important to develop an understanding of your clients?

Fostering a relationship with clients early in the process is critical to the success of a project. Often clients may not have the language to describe their needs, wants, likes, and dislikes. By approaching a project from a position of empathy as well as expertise, an architect can give words to the client’s thoughts and, ultimately, bring a shared vision to reality. For this reason my design meetings take the form of curated workshops where inclusion in the process is the intent and where dislikes are as important as likes. Mutual trust is critical and only achieved through a fine-tuned ear.

Q. A.

How does a site reveal the design solution?

Good design further demands deliberate attention to the contextual cues provided by the site. At Whitten Architects, we begin with a comprehensive analysis of essential details: sun path, wind patterns, view, vegetation, and topography.

Beyond the readily tangible, there is also a visceral response I listen for. For example, in a renovation project, does the house already know what it wants to be? Was there a purer form that once existed that wants to be honored? Most often, the structure wants to be simplified and wants to make stronger connections to the landscape. It takes boots on the ground and a trust in intuition to feel this out.

Q. A.

How do you reconcile your research and observations with the budget?

In these early phases of design, we must then take our knowledge of the client and our knowledge of the space and consider the context of budget constraints. For better or for worse, costs will play an important role within design. Luckily, here in Maine, one does not have to look far for cost-conscious inspiration. There are many homes that have withstood the test of time, that work with our environment, and that have done so simply and within limited means.

Q. A.

How does empathy lead to better solutions during the design process?

Once all is considered, then it is about allowing the design to take shape authentically. There is still some art to this. For me, it is about trusting my instincts, giving value to design thinking, and fleshing out various ideas fully. Dead ends are part of it, and sometimes the next best move is stepping away from the drawing board. Such a shift in focus can bring clarity to the challenge at hand. There is always the temptation to overwork a problem, which, perhaps surprisingly, can be the easiest path to take. But real beauty comes from simplifying the moves, making it look effortless. Ultimately it’s finding that nugget of an idea that informs the remainder of the project.

If the design has taken shape organically, and if the intent is clear, then the design begins to take on its own life. It simply takes a humble ear to listen to the design cues along the way.

My job is not to force the square peg into a round hole, but instead to understand the challenge thoroughly, and then thoughtfully shape its solution. MH+D

Balanced Building FOR BUILDER JOSH SEVIGNY, THE RIGHT MIX OF PROJECTS MEANS TIME FOR BOTH WORK AND PLAY

54 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Sylvain and Sevigny does both renovations and new builds, such as this custom home on Cumberland Foreside.

Josh Sevigny (opposite) of Sylvain and Sevigny in what will be a second-floor bedroom of a new home that he is building on Cumberland Foreside.

J

osh Sevigny doesn’t like to be pigeonholed.

“I enjoy building classic, traditional coastal Maine homes, and I also like doing modern, ultra-efficient houses,” says the principal of builders Sylvain and Sevigny. “You’re going to learn from working with different people in the field.” Notable recent projects vary from a large custom home in Cumberland Foreside to a barre studio in Portland to a “museum” for a private collection of rare cars in Arundel. Energetic and driven, Sevigny generally has two to three new homes going at a time, and three to four remodels. Most often, he works in tandem with architect Kevin Browne, whose office is right across the hall from Sevigny’s at Foreside Place on Route 1 in Falmouth. “Even when we work separately, it allows us to say, ‘Hey, this guy has a great idea,’ or learn things on another project that can be helpful on the project that we’re doing together,” Sevigny says.

Building is in Sevigny’s blood. He grew up in Saco with contractors on both sides of his family, and he got started in the business working for his good friend Marc Sylvain’s father. Following the elder Sylvain’s retirement in 2008, his son went out on his own, and Sevigny joined him. “I lived in Portland with Marc in the summertime, and then we’d go build houses where there was snow in the wintertime so we could ski,” he recalls. Both did stints in Colorado. “If you’re a French Canadian from Maine, you can basically go anywhere as a carpenter and get a job, just based on the reputation of our work ethic,” Sevigny says. Back home, the two formed Sylvain and Sevigny in 2010. “Marc is our foreman,” says Sevigny. “He just loves to build houses. The business side of things isn’t for him.” Under Sevigny’s leadership, the company has grown well beyond its beginnings as a way for a couple of guys to support their skiing habit. “It was never the intention for it to get to the point where

“

ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD WANT IN A DREAM CONTRACTOR, THAT’S WHAT JOSH IS. HE TAKES REAL PRIDE IN WHAT HE BUILDS, AND IT’S NOT DONE UNTIL IT’S RIGHT.

we were doing seven projects at a time, but it just kind of fell into place,” he admits.

The company now employs 20 people and maintains a millwork shop on Preble Street in Portland, something that’s important to Sevigny. “Before, we were outsourcing it, and that puts you at the mercy of somebody else—I don’t like that,” he says. Custom millwork is an important element in what he calls “fit ups”—interior renovation and outfitting of smaller-scale commercial spaces. “They’re interesting because they’re all different, and we can build things in house, which is a service that a lot of other people don’t provide,” he says.

That level of craftsmanship serves Sevigny well in his longstanding relationship with Sal Scaglione and Dana Heacock of Abacus Gallery. The popular retailer of artwork, decor, and jewelry has stores in Boothbay Harbor, Freeport, Kennebunkport, Portland, and Ogunquit. “All of the things that you would want in a dream contractor, that’s what Josh is,” says Scaglione. “He takes real pride in what he builds, and it’s not done until it’s right.

At the Ogunquit location, Sevigny recently worked with architect Caleb Johnson of Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders on a ground-up, two-story addition, building a bright, open gallery space with a mezzanine level. “It was quite involved because it was not a cookie-cutter addition,” says Scaglione. “We wanted it to look like a remodeled space, and to mimic—but not match—the building on the other side.”

The spacious shop now comprises three structures: a classic, old New England home flanked by smaller contemporary buildings with their gable ends facing the street. Scaglione couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. “The way the shop fits into the center of town is perfect, because it looks like another old building that has been repurposed for a different use,” he says. “We accomplished exactly what we wanted.”

Sevigny has also been involved in residential projects for Scaglione and Heacock, having worked on their home in Cape Elizabeth as well as houses for their parents. “He’s our guy, and he treats us very well,” says Scaglione. “We gravitate

toward people who are movers and shakers and who enjoy what they do, and that’s Josh. He’s like us—he’s on 24-7.”

Another Cape Elizabeth client, Bill Kourakos, retained Sevigny to renovate the interior of his home, the former keeper’s house at Cape Elizabeth Light. “I love working with him. It’s a rare thing when you find a contractor that you completely trust,” says Kourakos. When the 75-foot-tall, cast-iron lighthouse adjacent to the house needed painting, Sevigny ran the project, with Kourakos picking up the cost on behalf of the nonprofit American Lighthouse Foundation, which is charged with maintaining lighthouses around the country. “It was an interesting undertaking, because the tower is on the National Register of Historic Places and presents some unique challenges because of erosion,” Kourakos says.

“But when I put things in Josh’s hands I never question that it’s going to work out.”

While Sevigny will work on projects from Boothbay to Kennebunk, “95 percent” of his work is in Cape Elizabeth, where he and his wife, Jamie, live in a Sylvain and Sevigny– built home—one of three in the neighborhood—with their two children: Danica, ten, and JJ, four. The active family spends weekends in the winter at Sugarloaf Mountain Resort and in the summer on their boat in Casco Bay, all of which are possible because Sevigny has turned over most of the hands-on construction work to his staff. “My tool bag is in my truck, and I will definitely step in, but then my phone rings while a guy is waiting for me to cut something for him, so I’m slowing the project down,” Sevigny says with a smile and a shake of his head. “Plus, I want to still be skiing when I’m older, and I know that lumping lumber all day is not the key to that.”

Praise from his clients offers reason to believe that continued success will allow Sevigny to be on the mountain at Sugarloaf for winters to come. “The evidence of Josh’s qualities as a builder and as a person is in the growth of his company,” says Kourakos. “It’s such a word-of-mouth business, and Josh’s reputation is great. He’s the real deal.”

With soaring ceilings, a modern kitchen for congregating, and a pair of private owners’ suites, this Cape Elizabeth contemporary is a family affair

A linear kitchen by Indisco Kitchens and Baths is the first thing that guests see when they enter the front door of this Cape Elizabeth home built by Russ Doucette Custom Home Builders.

The slab cabinetry in inkwell black has sleek, streamlined pulls.

The seating area on the right is designed so that the family of three can be together when one of them is cooking. The countertops are Cambria quartz, while the lowered countertop intended for pastry making is Carrara marble.

Floating over the living space and kitchen is a catwalk (above) that connects the daughter’s wing to the upstairs guest suite for when the son’s family visits. The floor is red oak, as it is throughout the home.

With its red asymmetrical front door, casement windows, and three-foot roof overhang, the exterior (opposite) hints at the home’s contemporary interior.

W

hile the saying may be that three’s a crowd, the very opposite has been true for this family: a father, mother, and adult daughter who are all living together—yes, happily—in their contemporary home in a quiet Cape Elizabeth neighborhood. Previously from Massachusetts, the parents fell in love with the area’s coastal, small-town feel when their daughter, now a surgeon, began her residency in Portland. Fourteen years later, when the parents retired, the three began to look for property near the daughter’s job where they could build a new home. Eventually they narrowed in on a pretty parcel of land tucked away toward the end of a road. In a lucky coincidence, the street name happened to combine the mother’s Chinese zodiac sign and the daughter’s middle name—it seemed an omen that they’d found the right spot.

Back in Massachusetts, the parents had worked with a builder to design their family home. While that house was contemporary in style, it was also multilevel and divided into several rooms, which the family felt impeded flow. This time, with the daughter overseeing the design, the family worked with Russ Doucette of Russ Doucette Custom Home Builders in Scarborough to come up with a plan that feels contemporary but much more open. “I knew what I wanted,” the daughter says. “It was all in my head, and

64 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Russ helped to put it on paper.” Adds Doucette, “It was a collaboration among all of us.”

The result is a four-bedroom, three-and-half-bath house with an open floor plan and ample fenestration. That airiness is immediately apparent as soon as one enters the front door, as there is no formal entryway. Rather, visitors are pulled into a spacious living space with soaring cathedral ceilings. Immediately in view are the home’s show-stopping elements: a sleek, linear kitchen and, above it, a catwalk that seems to float, suspended by cables. To the right is a living space with a three-sided gas fireplace, while to the left, tucked behind a modern steel staircase painted white, is a dining area and, off of that a breakfast nook. At either end of the home are the private owners’ suites. On the first floor to the right is the parents’ wing— one of their few requests was for first-floor living—while the daughter’s suite is upstairs and to the left. “The openness gives us a closeness,” says the father, “but we each have our own private quarters.”

In addition to being a surgeon, the daughter is an amateur pastry chef who makes desserts such as satinysmooth chocolates filled with lemon, yuzu, and cognac, so the kitchen is customized for baking and chocolate making.

There is a temperature-controlled pantry where specialty ingredients are stored and a USB port to charge her phone in case she’s on call. While most of the countertops are quartz, a section lowered to working height is topped with

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 65

The slope to the right of the driveway is planted with a special seed mix so that it needs to be mowed only a few times a year. “It grows to about 18 to 20 inches long and will blow in the breeze, which gives it a really nice texture as you drive in,” says Keith Stone of Pinnacle Landscape and Design.

The daughter’s bathroom has a soaking tub and 12- by 24-inch porcelain tile in Sunglow from Capozza Tile and Flooring Covering Center. The vanity and quartz countertops are from Indisco Kitchens and Baths.

The gas fireplace in the living area (opposite) is threesided, so it wraps around the partition wall where it is open to the back staircase. Upstairs is the office area.

The rug, seating, and metal wall sculpture are from CB2.

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 69

The parents’ suite (above) is on the first floor, which was one of their few design requests. The space is the father’s favorite spot in the house, where he can sit and listen to music or read. The artwork above the bed is by Nicholas Yust. Outside the windows grows a weeping cherry tree.

The modern staircase (opposite) is made of steel and painted white. Hanging on a wall is Double Cycle, an acrylic on Tyvek by Lea Feinstein.

marble. “The marble’s good for pastries, and it’s good for tempering chocolate too,” she says.

The color palette of the kitchen, as well as the public spaces, is reduced to black, white, and the occasional splash of red, which is evidenced in the range’s knobs, the kitchen chairs, and the modern ceiling fan.

A pared down, minimalist aesthetic is also carried through to the simple trim work, which is painted in a white that’s similar to the color of the walls. “The flat trim gives you that modern, clean look,” says Doucette. “And there’s no crown moulding, so there are sharper edges.”

While the interior of the house is contemporary, it still fits into its more traditional neighborhood. Just a few subtle exterior details hint at what lies inside, such as casement windows rather than the more traditional double-hung as well as the roof’s three-foot overhang. “I showed Russ images of Japanese pagodas, how they have a slanted roofline, so he played off that a little bit,” says the daughter. In addition, on either side of the bright red front door are vertically stacked square transom windows: three on one side, five on the other. (The total number of windows— eight—is a lucky number in Chinese culture.) The homeowners preferred an

asymmetrical look rather than one that was more balanced, which they find too traditional and formal.

Leading up to the front door, concrete pavers are surrounded by pea stone, which is punctuated with small clusters of ornamental grasses and ferns. “Driving up, it looks like a consistent textural piece of foliage,” says Keith Stone of Pinnacle Landscape and Design, who did the installation and worked with landscape architect Soren Deniord of Soren Deniord Design Studio on the design. “But individual plants are visible once you get closer, which gives it a graphic look.”

In the back of the home, the patio is divided into two sections, bisected by an herb garden planted with basil, thyme, and rosemary. One section is an outdoor dining area, and the other is a lounge area with a patio shaped like an octagon. “The octagon is considered good luck in Chinese culture,” explains the father, noting its eight sides.

Additional landscaping includes planting trees and shrubs such as Japanese maples and rhododendrons, and one more design must: a weeping cherry tree, now framed in a window of the parents’ bedroom. “That’s my dream tree,” says the mother. Just beyond the backyard is another favorite feature: Cape Elizabeth’s Greenbelt, where MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 71

The concrete pavers in the outdoor dining area have a monolithic feel. “We created different outdoor spaces,” says Stone. “Little rooms with different feels.”

the family goes for walks in the summer and snowshoes in the winter. (In another bit of fate, the family happened to move in on Chinese New Year.) One of the nice things about the arrangement is the way the family members frequently help each other out. The father clears the driveway in the winter, the daughter cooks dinner for everyone, the mother prepares coffee in the morning.

HISTORY

IN THE MAKING

WITH RUSTIC ROOTS AND MODERN COMFORTS, A RESTORED ADIRONDACK-STYLE CAMP IN NORTHERN MAINE PROVIDES AMPLE SPACE FOR BLISSFUL RELAXATION AND FAMILY BONDING

BY Katy Kelleher PHOTOGRAPHY BY Jeff Roberts

The Snow family camp in Forest City was recently redesigned by architectural designer Paul Harris of Cole Harris Associates of Westport, Connecticut, and builder Mike Hewes of Hewes and Company in Blue Hill. On the granite patio, homeowner Lynette Snow sits in an updated Adirondack–style chair designed

by Harris and built by Hewes. The exterior has eastern white cedar shingles from the region, custom-milled posts, and a standing-seam copper roof.

F

or over 20 years, architectural designer Paul Harris of Cole Harris Associates in Connecticut had been hearing stories about his friend David Snow’s camp in Washington County. The getaway, located on an expansive piece of lush green property on the shores of East Grand Lake, has been in the Snow family since 1935, but it wasn’t until David and Lynette Snow became the camp’s owners in 2011 that they began to plan out renovations in earnest. The couple wanted to update seven of the buildings on the property, including the boathouse, main cabin, and bunkhouses, so that they could be enjoyed by their twin daughters, extended family, and generations to come. “Every building there has a story,” says Harris. “It was up to us to preserve those stories.”

The result is a “romanticized, fantasized version of the same camp I grew up in,” explains Snow. “Preserving the history of my family camp was incredibly important. My grandparents bought this place from a retired sea captain, and my father went up there every single summer. I went up every year, too,

starting the year that I was born.” For decades, the Snow family has spent their summer days waterskiing, swimming, and boating around the deep waters of East Grand Lake, and their evenings enjoying lobster bakes and bonfires on the front lawn.

Unfortunately for old buildings, the weather in downeast Maine is often brutal, and the Forest City camp had been buffeted by winds and lashed with rain. By the 2000s, the Adirondack-style camp stood on shaky foundations, but it was still treasured. “The soil is filled with clay,” Snow says. “With those deep freezes in winter, the foundations of the buildings tend to crack, and mice can get in. We wanted to do something to fix it permanently.” If the Snows could keep the camp at a consistent temperature all year round, that would alleviate the foundation problem. However, it would require a complete overhaul of the insulation and a rejiggering of the floor plan—they would need to strip the camp down to the floorboards and build it back up, all while keeping the architectural integrity of the space. The project would be expensive

The camp was originally a one-story building, but during the remodel a second story was added (opposite).

The boathouse was completely restored and updated with eastern white cedar shingles, a standing-seam copper roof, and a seasonal dock system. A stream runs through the bottom of the boathouse into East Grand Lake. The sign is by DaVinci Signs.

The tiles in the guest bathroom depict a 180-degree view of the lake made from drawings done by Harris and crafted by Antiquity Tile. The sink was made from a single piece of Canadian soapstone harvested nearby.

North Atlantic Tile Company installed the tiles in the guest bathroom, which were manufactured by Antiquity Tile.

Custom kitchen tiles made by Antiquity Tile show a variety of fish that can be caught in East Grand Lake, such as togue and salmon, as well as some of the Snow family’s favorite foods, including lobsters and clams.

The random width, reclaimed heart pine flooring has antique steel nails.

The owners’ suite (opposite), which is upstairs in the main camp building, features painted poplar walls and reclaimed heart pine beams. Harris designed the white oak bed frame with acorn-shape finials.

Opposite, clockwise from top left: “When you’re at a camp, you don’t have a doorbell. You have one bell you use for announcing your arrival and announcing lunch,” says Harris. The outdoor rocker is from Lane Furniture.

and require fastidious attention to detail. Fortunately, Snow already knew that Harris had the right mindset and skills for the job.

Harris had worked with the Snows on previous projects, and Harris understood the importance of keeping the character of the buildings intact while fortifying and enlarging the living and sleeping areas in the main cabin. “We decided to keep certain aspects of the camp that had value, either architecturally or because they contained family memories. But we also needed to expand the living space to accommodate everybody in the family,” Harris says. “We got rid of one building that had less historic value, while focusing on sites such as the boathouse, which was a beautiful structure right on the water.” Working with builder Mike Hewes of Hewes and Company in Blue Hill, Harris oversaw the expansion of the main camp structure (and the addition of a second story), the renovation of the boathouse and the bunkhouse, the construction of a new workshop attached to the camp, and the removal of two small bunkhouses that had outlived their usefulness.

“One of our biggest challenges was that we were building in a very remote location,” says Harris. The Snow family camp is located less than a mile from the Canadian border, 12 miles from the nearest town, and several hours from Hewes and Company’s headquarters on the Blue Hill peninsula. “Our guys rented a house nearby because the camp is over 130 miles

from my shop,” says Hewes. “It was a lot of work and a pretty big project, so they would go up and spend ten-hour days working, followed by a barbecue, before getting up and doing it again.” But the location wasn’t the only challenge. Harris and Snow decided to pursue LEED Gold certification, which meant the contractors had to source many building materials from nearby quarries and lumber mills. “LEED certification relies on reducing the distance between source and project,” explains Harris. The team decided to use locally quarried Canadian limestone for the kitchen countertops and locally quarried Maine schist for the showers in the bunkhouse. “There are a lot of special touches in that house, such as the sinks in the bathroom that are carved from solid pieces of stone, which made them extremely heavy but also unique,” says Hewes. In addition, much of the wood used on the project was harvested and milled locally, including the large exposed pine beams that lend form and structure to the vaulted living room ceiling, and the cedar wood panels that add a pleasant, woodsy smell to the main cabin’s many porches. (A front sitting porch faces the lake, while smaller porches extend out from three of the first-floor bedrooms. Another porch functions as a hallway that joins the main cabin to the guest quarters.)

“We paid attention to every single stick of wood going into this house,” Hewes says. One particularly beautiful touch is the railing of the stairway in the main camp’s living area.

The graceful piece of craftsmanship was created by woodworker Bob King of King and Company of Marlborough, New Hampshire, who found a piece of knotty, twisted pine that was the right fit and shape to fill the space. He created a staircase with waist-high railings that flow with the natural grain of the wood.

As a result, the stairway almost seems to grow up from the first floor, ushering guests from one story to the next.

The new second story allowed Harris and Snow to pack in an owners’ suite plus a small office space that overlooks the open living and dining areas. From the chair at Snow’s desk, he can look out through the high windows across the lake to small pine-covered islands that decorate the surface of the cold, clear water. Hanging from the rafters is a dory. “It was my great-grandfather’s boat,” explains Snow. “He used it to shuttle construction materials from the mainland to the island in the lake where our very first family camp had been located.” The boat is over 80 years old, but you wouldn’t know it. Its freshly painted bow points toward the water, “right to the very island where it came from,” says Snow.

The suspended boat is a dramatic focal piece for the living room, but Snow’s interest in functional, historic decor is apparent throughout the space.

Every bedroom in the camp, from the guest rooms in the bunkhouse to the owners’ suite upstairs, is decorated with a set of wooden oars made by Orono oar and paddle makers Shaw and Tenney.

90 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

“Since there were five generations of family who used the camp, we decided to create five sets of oars, each made with the technology available to the time that generation lived in, and each carved with the name of one of David’s family members,” says Harris, who also worked closely with the Snows on the interior design of the entire camp compound.

Some oars have copper tips. Some have tack leather. The final oars—those made for the grandchildren—are made of local spruce and varnished to a high gloss.

“We wanted the space to feel simple, pure, and a little camp-y, but never cliché,” says Harris. “That means no fish statues or bear lamps.” Instead of hanging artwork, Snow and Harris decided to cover the walls with family photographs, which Harris and his team scanned, restored, printed, and framed.

Every generation of the family is well represented, with images that date back to 1910. Not only does this reflect Snow’s interest in history and tradition, but it also pays tribute to the camp’s primary purpose. “This place is, for me, truly an escape,” Snow says. “It’s where I go to reward myself for working hard.

It represents an opportunity to bond with my family. It’s where we have quality time, in the middle of nowhere, without any distractions.” Forest City isn’t Snow’s home away from home. It’s something even better: his paradise, plain and simple. MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 156.

SO MUCH TO SEE ON THE WATER 94 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

This oceanside home in Rockport designed by Hamilton Snowber Architects in Washington, D.C., and built

by Cold Mountain Builders of Belfast has a side entry off the kitchen. Architect Chris Snowber used CAD modeling to consider different colors for the house. At one point, the homeowners looked at white trim, but eventually they chose darker colors— black for the window sashes and doors, forest green for the trim—to blend with the landscape.

A CONTEMPORARY DESIGN REFERENCES THE PAST IN AN AIRY, SERENE MIDCOAST PROPERTY

T

his country boasts many striking waterfront properties, but when a Washington, D.C., couple started looking for an oceanside second home, they were drawn to midcoast Maine for more than its physical charms. As the wife says, “The truth is that, in addition to its extraordinary and rugged beauty, what attracted us to midcoast Maine is its vitality, reflected in the many highly creative people—actively engaged in a wide variety of activities and professions—who we have encountered here.” She and her husband had a general familiarity with the region, having sent three of their four (now grown) children to Alford Lake Camp in Hope and having seen two of their children study at what is now Maine Media Workshops and College in Rockport.

The couple purchased a 1940s ranch on a rocky ledge overlooking Penobscot Bay and began to imagine what they could build on its footprint. They pictured a new house that would serve, in the words of their architect, Chris Snowber of Hamilton Snowber Architects in Washington, as a “grandchild magnet.” The homeowners were comfortable working with Washingtonarea talent: Snowber and his partner and wife, architect Cynthia Hamilton, who have

96 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

vacationed in Blue Hill for the past 25 years; project manager Michael P. Rouse, also of Hamilton Snowber; and Jodi Macklin and Lauren Sparber of Jodi Macklin Interior Design in Chevy Chase, Maryland. (The homeowners had previously worked with Hamilton Snowber on renovations to their primary home.) Still, they knew they needed a local builder, and they found a match in Jay Fischer of Cold Mountain Builders in Belfast.

In Washington, the couple has a shinglestyle house in a historic district. In Maine, even their contemporary house echoes the past. On the exterior, the basic design consists of two gable forms joined by a cross gable and, on the interior, of two wings separated by a soaring central space, which contains the living and dining areas.

Downstairs, the kitchen and library are in one wing while the owners’ bedroom and study are in another. Upstairs, a bridge outfitted with a daybed connects the two wings, each of which has two bedrooms and a shared bath.

“There is the sense of arrival that one has with a classic Maine summer cottage,” says Fischer of Snowber’s design. “You come to a generous door and are immediately drawn to the water through windows on the opposite side of the home.” The

The home (above) has two gable forms joined by a cross gable, which is complicated by a shed roof with clerestory windows. In order to maximize views, Snowber designed the two side gables so they are not quite parallel. The granite at the home’s base relates to the living room fireplace and the rocky shoreline. To the right, windows wrap the corner of the house.

Interior designers Jodi Macklin and Lauren Sparber of Jodi Macklin Interior Design in Chevy Chase, Maryland, kept the materials and textures light in the living room (opposite), as the wife didn’t want distracting patterns. The Thos. Moser dining room chairs are upholstered in Rogers and Goffigon fabric. The dining room table is from City Joinery. A.E. Sampson and Son is responsible for the maple flooring.

A shallow display shelf runs along the sash of the kitchen window. The cabinetry by Bench Dogs is meant to blend into the wall, so the island (with its walnut top and subtle green color) reads as the distinctive element in the room. The stools are from Janus et Cie. The glass pendant lamps are from Niche and were chosen because they don’t block the views.

The mantel and firebox (above) are asymmetrically placed.

The arrangement of the stone, arrived at with Hooper Masonry, creates a pattern of smooth and rough granite. The Palecek coffee table is made from hand-bent rattan.

The couches are from Verellen.

The library ladder in one of the guest rooms (opposite) leads to a loft that serves as playroom for grandchildren.

exterior is classic white-cedar siding, and the windows are classic double-hung with a twoover-two formula. That said, the fenestration is both contemporary, as with the wall of oversize windows that line the ocean-facing side of the ground floor, and unusual, as with windows that wrap two corners of the house. The trim is a classic forest green, but the window sashes and doors are black. The back porch, another traditional summer cottage feature, has modern detailing: a black metal railing with stainlesssteel cabling and an ipê cap.

“We’ve abstracted from traditional elements,” says Snowber, “but stripped away to get down to the essentials.” The trim and mouldings are simplified. The columns in the foyer are slim and square. The great room’s space is distinguished by different ceiling heights—low for the kitchen, cathedral for the living room—and defining elements, such as a built-in sideboard that serves as a partial room divider. The two upper units that frame the cabinet have glass doors on both sides, so even though the kitchen is clearly separate from the dining and living area, the spaces still feel like one room.

“We wanted it to be a surprise inside and not predictable,” says the wife. This is evidenced in small decisions—for instance, a walnut countertop for the light green kitchen island— and large, such as the living room fireplace wall,

which is made of meticulously fitted rectangular granite boulders that surround a firebox and log storage niche. Playing with rough and smooth surfaces and asymmetrical and symmetrically placed elements, the wall manages to lend the elegance and artistry of an abstract painting while also heating the room on cold evenings.

The stone of the wall was purposely related to the stone on the exterior, where granite shows up in flat slabs at the entrance, in veneer on the foundation, as building blocks of a landscaping wall, and as a ledge above the foundation.

The careful detailing throughout the property includes the house’s curved cherry staircase handrail, whose form perfectly fits the palm of the hand, and the stainless-steel circular brackets on the cherry handrail of the stairs that lead to a room above the freestanding garage, which will eventually be a sewing room.

Because their impulse was to keep the house light and airy, Macklin and Sparber picked beach-tinted neutrals—tans and blues and greens—when appointing the house. They mixed materials and textures but kept patterns to a minimum, allowing themselves the occasional dark note, as seen in the cherry dining room table and chairs and the owners’ cherry canopy bed frame. A coffee table of hand-bent, interwoven rattan with a wood top was, Sparber admits, “a little bit of a push, but I gave the wife a money-

Bench Dogs built the double-sink vanity in the owners’ bathroom (above). A medicine cabinet is hidden in the paneling to the right. The floor is marble, and the walls are white ceramic.

The home looks out onto the Atlantic (left).

The overall lot has an expanse of lawn sloping to the seawall, then rocky shore from the seawall to Penobscot Bay. Staying aware of the balance between horizontal and vertical, Stephen Mohr of Mohr and Seredin Landscape Architects knit the house into the land by preserving specimen and mature trees, bringing back some of the woods, and adding naturalized plantings.

Thanks to the windows that wrap the corner of the owners’ suite (opposite), the space feels “cantilevered over the ocean,” according to Sparber. The bed is from Room and Board, the bench is from Room, and the chair is from Design Within Reach.

The garage (opposite, top) has a pop-up dormer that prevents its building mass from seeming too large. The white cedar shingling changes to forest green vertical siding by the covered door. The second floor of the garage has a space that will eventually be converted into a sewing room.

A bridge (opposite, bottom) with a daybed joins the two ends of the house, each of which has two bedrooms and a shared bath to accommodate the owners’ four grown children and grandkids. The bridge is open to the living room.

The columns and beams are simplified, as part of the overall effort to embrace the vernacular while stripping elements to their most basic form.

back guarantee that she’d like it.” Indeed, it is now one of the wife’s favorite pieces.

While one would be hard pressed to pick a “best” view in the house, given the abundance of choices, the owners’ bedroom is particularly striking. Thanks to the corner window, the room feels, as Sparber says, “cantilevered over the ocean.” To preserve the drama, light sheers cover the windows and the furnishings were kept to a minimum.

The adjacent bathroom is also light, with marble floors, a glass shower, and glass tiles. “It was an easy house to work on,” says Macklin, “because its bones were so beautiful.” The additions she and Sparber made are beautiful, too, but beautiful in a way that does not detract, she says, “from everything else happening.”

And what is happening, now that the owners have been able to enjoy their home for two summers? Enjoying activities while also being at peace. Both husband and wife work full-time—he as a litigator in private practice, and she with innovative high schools for students from economically disadvantaged families—so they don’t

entirely relax in the summers. After all, this is a vacation home with an office. Still, as the husband sits at his desk, he looks out the window through the woods at an old shed that he likes. He could have taken it down, of course, but he didn’t. “I see it as part of the life and history of the property,” he says, and he enjoys that, as well as watching the wild turkeys, various birds, and seals. The open ocean is to the right of the shed. “There is a lot of traffic there in the summer, between Camden and Rockport,” he says. “Schooners go by. The lobstermen start at 6 a.m. Boats begin to arrive.”

The wife adds, with pleasure, confirming the rightness of the couple’s initial impulse to buy by the ocean: “When he sits by himself, he calls to me and gives me the boat report.

There’s so much to see on the water, and I feel such joy in seeing my intense and hardworking husband relax into the rich detail and wonder of the Maine coast.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 156.

OLD WORLD

IN THE NEW A Kennebunk shingle style for twenty-first-century grandparents

by Debra Spark // Photography by Jeff Roberts

110 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Cabinetry is extensive throughout a Kennebunk house designed by William Ross Design, built by Thomas and Lord, and decorated by Jean Edwards Interiors. The glass cabinets hold a collection of teacups and saucers that homeowner Mary Mills inherited from her mother. Michael Pouliotte of Traditional Wood Works is responsible for the cabinetry as well as the pocket doors, exterior detailing, and built-ins.

112 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

The ocean side of the house has ample fenestration, a complicated roofline, and a circular porch.

This house is controlled by a Savant automation system installed by SmartHome Solutions, which allows the lights, music, televisions, security, and HVAC to all be controlled anywhere by an app.

On the porch, SmartHome Solutions also installed a custom drop-down TV lift that allows the Millses to watch their favorite shows outdoors. When they’re done, the television retracts back into the ceiling to keep it out of the elements.

The owners’ bedroom has a second-floor bowed balcony (opposite) that overlooks the Atlantic.

The chaise lounges are from Lane Venture.

J

ohn and Mary Mills seem as much comedy team as retirees as they talk about their new home in Kennebunk. The story starts with a run. “In the summertime, I am a jogger, not a runner,” John says. “I slog along.” On one such jaunt, on a lovely late August day three years ago, John decided to go farther than usual and run down Parsons Beach Road. If the lane had “No Trespassing” signs, he missed them. He ran past a horse farm and on to an “unbelievably beautiful” stretch of oceanfront with wide views up and down the coast. Oddly, when he returned from what had become an eight-mile run, he found a postcard in his mailbox advertising the very acreage that had so wowed him.

John wanted to call the broker, even though he felt he “needed another piece of land like a hole in the head.” At the time, he and Mary were based in New Jersey but owned three homes in the Kennebunks. “And I had never sold a home. Never,” says Mary, making it sound less like a financial transaction than auctioning off a baby: unforgivable. That said, Mary and John did eventually sell one of their Maine

homes and were left with two contiguous homes, including a six-bedroom house that once belonged to Edmund S. Muskie, the former U.S. secretary of state. John calls it “the world’s most expensive guesthouse.” Still, the Parsons Beach land seemed like an opportunity. Eventually, they reasoned, they could rent or sell what they still had.

The grand sweep of land on Parsons Beach seemed to require an equally grand approach to design, and from the start, Mary says, she knew what she wanted: a sizeable turnof-the-century–style “cottage,” with William Ross of William Ross Design in York Harbor as architectural designer and Kevin Lord of Thomas and Lord in Kennebunkport as builder.

The result is a classic shingle-style with a long back porch; complex, gabled roofline; ample fenestration; white-cedar shingles for the siding; red-cedar shingles for the roof; and embellishments such as a bowed balcony and oval window.

The couple wanted the interior open, but not open-concept.

One can see from room to room on the ground floor, but the spaces are clearly defined, and some can be closed off with pocket French doors.

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 113

A cherry desk (above) on the second-floor landing is intended for houseguests, who can check their email while they enjoy the views. The bookcases here, as well as in the downstairs his-and-hers office, are also cherry. When builder Kevin Lord wondered what the couple was going to do with so many bookcases, homeowner Mary Mills said, “Give me ten minutes, and I’ll fill them up.”

The owners’ bedroom (opposite) continues the navy palette from the ground floor, as well as the inclination to use multiple patterns in the same space. As in other rooms, delicate patterns (as seen on the bed) are combined with patterns drawn from the natural world such as the flowers on the chair fabric.

Old World splendor meets New World luxury in the interior, where downstairs ceilings are almost 11 feet high, and the rooms are designed to be comfortable and welcoming. A sports memorabilia room with a leather sofa and wingback chairs displays John’s collections of baseballs, baseball cards, and autographed photos, as well as a three-dimensional Clue board encased in walnut veneer, the rooms of which have parallels in the Millses’ house. There’s no ballroom—unless you count the large, flat lawn outside, which is set up to accommodate tents for dancing events like an upcoming wedding—and no conservatory, though the many planted beds provide plenty of flowers and greenery. Other familiar Clue rooms are represented, however. The sizeable kitchen features polished granite countertops. (“Neither of us is a great cook,” Mary admits. “I cater well, though.”)

Running from the front to back door, the dramatic front hall has a barrel-vaulted ceiling of sycamore and a Santos mahogany floor laid in a herringbone pattern with a framing strip of wenge. Off the kitchen, a cherry-lined study has a fireplace, built-in

window seat, his-and-hers mahogany-topped desks, and floor-to-ceiling bookcases. A second study for guests, with more cherry bookcases, is on the large landing at the top of the central staircase. Down a hall, a second landing with casual upholstered furniture serves as a lounge, or quiet area, for the Millses’ five grandchildren. The “billiards room” takes the form of two spaces: a basement playroom with ping-pong and shuffleboard tables and an upstairs playroom (located above the garage) with four pinball machines, tables for art projects, and two toddler-sized closets, a.k.a. hiding spaces.

A room that Hasbro might want to consider adding to the Clue board? A three-season sitting porch. The Millses have a round one with a fireplace, a flat-screen TV that descends from the western red cedar ceiling, ipê decking, and infrared heaters. With blue sailcloth hung between the round porch columns, the space is usable in all seasons save winter.

The architectural millwork—trim, mouldings, and cabinetry—is extensive throughout the house.

Lord estimates that the house has 300 cabinets or

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 115

The house has three propane fireplaces. This one (above) is based on a fireplace that homeowner John Mills saw in Colorado.

Second Floor

The entry hall (opposite) extends from the front of the house to the back, where a door leads to a porch and the ocean beyond. The barrel-vaulted ceiling is made of sycamore, and the floor is a Santos mahogany laid in a herringbone pattern with a strip of wenge. The pocket French doors to the right lead to the dining room. The Hudson Valley Lighting chandeliers are from the Lighthouse.

Working with interior designer Jean Edwards, Mary Mills often started with “two or three fabrics I absolutely loved,” she says.

A favorite included the embroidered wildflowers fabric from Colefax and Fowler, used on the slightly curved sofas from Century Furniture. Edwards reined Mills in on the occasion she thought the fabrics were getting too wild. Mills says, “She let me do what I wanted and then very sweetly told me, ‘No. That is not going to look good.’” The fan detailing above the fireplace is repeated over the front entry.

For the landscaping, Robbi Woodburn of Woodburn and Company Landscape Architecture designed a sharp divide between a “civilized landscape,” as she puts it, and the surrounding woods. Mike Corsie of Terrapin Landscapes also contributed to the landscape design, including “the most beautiful installation of blueberry sod I’ve ever seen,” says Woodburn. A stone wall (above), built by mason Raymond Dussault with natural stone from Genest, helps to define the property.

The formal dining room (opposite, top) has a wood-topped table that was finished with car paint applied in a chevron pattern.

A trophy room (opposite, bottom) with sports memorabilia includes an eclectic collection of hockey pucks, baseballs, baseball cards, and signed photographs from sports and political figures, including one from Mickey Mantle. (“He was my hero,” says John Mills.) A pickax from Edmund Hilary, the first English climber to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro, is stored with baseball bats on the left.

drawers, some with specialized functions, as with the pullout rack by the living room’s bar that holds candy boxes for the kids, and the laundry room cabinet whose doors open onto pull-out sweater-drying racks. Other cabinets and shelves are for display and geared to the couple’s specific collections and tastes, such as the dining room’s glass-front cabinetry for dishes, and the plate-rail cabinetry on which sit assorted teacups and saucers that Mary inherited from her mother. An upstairs corridor feels almost museum-like with its eight glass-front cabinets that are lit from within to display an extensive seventeenth- and nineteenth-century silver collection, including sewing needle cases, pill boxes, snuff boxes, dog whistles, christening cups, belt buckles, and more.

Mary collaborated with Jean Ustorf of Jean Edwards Interiors in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, on the interior design, which reflects Mary’s fondness for blue and white, desire to layer pattern on pattern, and interest in forms drawn from the natural world. All of these affections are on display in the living room, which has sofas covered in embroidered wildflower fabric and accessorized with striped pillows, a navy rug with a white border, and cerulean window valances with a sequin pattern that suggests branches. Lamps have patterned shades on unusual bases: one base is made of stacked glazed porcelain turtles; another is in the shape of a goose. “When you layer patterns and textures, you give the room more depth and make it more sophisticated,” Ustorf says.

124 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Given that the Millses are very much focused on their grandchildren, two of the bedrooms are devoted to them.

One is for boys, the other for girls, and each has four bunks outfitted with shelves, lights, and curtains. The girls’ room has dolls and pink linens, chairs, and window treatments. For the boys’ room, the theme is navy and nautical, with anchors patterning the sheets. The girls’ room has steps that go to a small landing for the upper bunks, and the boys’ has a ladder, which is “purposely fixed,” says Mary, “so they can’t hit each other over the heads with it.” Even “non-children” spaces are designed to take a beating, such as the formal dining room, with its wood-topped table finished with car paint applied in a chevron pattern. “Turtle Wax works wonders!” says Mary.

In the end, the house feels like it is about enthusiasms— for friends who might be entertained, for grandchildren who might be lovingly spoiled, for curious objects that might be shared, and for craftsmanship that might be appreciated.

And if a house can’t turn around and admire its occupants, its builders and designers certainly can. “Mary and John are some of the nicest, most lovely people you’d ever want to meet,” says Ross, echoing words from Ustorf and Lord.

The mutual affection is personal, of course, but also reflects the chance the project gave everyone to create something unusual: a house inspired by the early twentieth century but full of twenty-first-century pleasures. MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 156.

or pedestrians strolling over the recently redone bridge into Kennebunkport, the first shop they’ll encounter is a narrow yet sunny space marked by a hanging navy blue sign. Just steps from the iconic Lanigan Bridge that links the towns of Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Portside is a veritable treasure box of coastal-inspired decor, charming oddities, and unique home finds. You’ll find porcelain phrenology model skulls, genuine bone boxes decorated with scrimshaw nautical scenes, large white sculptural pieces of coral, antique duck decoys, and more.

This collection is the work of interior designer Louise Hurlbutt and her talented team at Hurlbutt Designs. Portside opened in fall of 2014, and since then, the store has shifted its focus slightly to keep up with the demands of its clientele. “Initially we had things exactly as they were in the main shop, which meant it looked slightly more traditional than it does now,” explains Hurlbutt Designs regional manager Mark Leinenbach. Like the Hurlbutt Designs store on Western Avenue in Kennebunk, Portside started out as a showcase for Hurlbutt’s sophisticated style, which she describes as “Old World decorating.” However, after a few years, both Leinenbach and Portside store manager Cory Bryan began to sense that they might draw in more foot traffic with an edgier approach.

These days, the satellite store mixes Hurlbutt’s classic design sense—there are classic blue and white vases, ornate antique cabinets, and plush embroidered pillows— with the masculine aesthetic of Bryan and Leinenbach. Portside’s stocked shelves now bring to mind a vintage curio cabinet updated

for the yacht club set, mixing oceaninspired pieces (such as Mariposa seashell sculptures) with items that would be right at home in the library of a nineteenthcentury explorer (such as polished wood and brass magnifying glasses and hanging miniature hot-air balloons).

“Because the Kennebunks are very cottage-y, with so many beautiful shinglestyle homes, our pieces tend to reflect that aesthetic,” Hurlbutt says. But, as Bryan explains, they’ve begun offering more items that work as functional summer souvenirs, such as bocce ball sets and dominos. In addition, most everything in the store is for sale, from the lamps to the cabinets to the artwork on the walls. “If you like something here but want to see more, we can always direct you to the store on Western Avenue,” where they have a far more extensive array of furniture and home goods, Leinenbach says.

Although the small footprint of the store can present some challenges—the selection must be tightly curated—it also

forces the Portside team to create truly cohesive displays on a pared-down scale.

“It can be a challenge to keep the shelves looking full yet uncluttered,” says Bryan.

“It’s all about moving items around to create small vignettes that go together.”

Often, this means clustering similar items together, like a series of silver picture frames of various sizes and shapes.

“Busyness combats busyness,” Hurlbutt says.

While Hurlbutt remains the driving force behind the store, she loves how Leinenbach and Bryan have pushed Portside in a new direction. “We’re going a little more mod there,” she says. “It creates a good juxtaposition.” Leinenbach agrees: “We’re offering items that are unique, that you can’t find anywhere else. Finds that feel like Kennebunkport and will remind you of the area and how special it is here.”

ST YLE YOUR SHELVES THE PORTSIDE WAY Both Bryan and Hurlbutt agree that duplicate items can help ground an otherwise scattered display with symmetry. “I always buy two of an item, because many things look best styled symmetrically,” Hurlbutt says. “When you separate two similar or duplicate pieces, it can take away from their impact,” adds Bryan.

For instance, vases of the same color and height (but slightly different patterns) can work well to anchor a vignette of items.

u

Scale is incredibly important. “I like to style the shelves with shorter pieces in the front and taller pieces in the back,” says Bryan. “I’ve always used that as a strategy because it draws the eye upward as you examine each item.”

u

Consider texture when creating dynamic groupings of items. Bryan suggests juxtaposing organic materials, such as white coral, with more modern finishes, such as polished metal picture frames.

u

Choose one truly standout item as the focal piece for your display shelves, and design around it using a similar color palette. “Once you know what the main piece will be, you can choose items that are different, but in complementary colors, to create a look that works,” Leinenbach says.

u

But above all, the most important ingredient in styling a vignette is constant experimentation. Hurlbutt, Leinenbach, and Bryan all advise moving objects around and tinkering with the display until you find the right arrangement for the space. “You know what works internally—it’s about what appeals to you deep inside,” Leinenbach says.

WHITNEY HEAVEY Wandering, 2017, oil on panel, 36” x 36”

“Living close to New England’s diverse coast, I have always appreciated the colors that nature provides. When I was a child, my grandmother, who was also an artist, took me for many beach walks and taught me the value of truly seeing the incredible beauty around us. In my work, I strive to reflect those stunning colors of New England and the range of emotions that the coast inspires. One of my goals is to attract viewers from afar and keep them interested up close with texture and color relationships, just as nature does. As a painter, I love the act of painting on large canvases and the

feel of oil paint. In my studio, I try to experiment with the emotional impact of light, color, and the application of paint. In addition to photos, sketches, and writings, I’ve been using videos lately to emotionally return to the place and time that I am trying to capture. It is always my goal to paint the landscape as it made me feel in a given moment, not necessarily how it looked. My focus is primarily on my muse: the ocean. I want to bring viewers to a place in their own memory when they felt strength, relief, calm, joy, introspection, or peace.”

ART SPOTLIGHT

RANDY COLBATH

Can You See Me Now 2, 2016, eucalyptus wood, 41” x 50” x 12” “My work is quite diverse. I make figurative, geometric, and abstract pieces that often relate to my life experiences.

For example, the ocean has been a large part of my life.

Working on ships has provided much of my inspiration, and together with my art history studies these experiences have resulted in an array of sculptures. I work mainly in wood, which provides inspiration of its own, both as a material and in its lines and curves. My inspiration comes from line and form first, leaving color and natural characteristics as a secondary feature. Painting or bleaching can be used to reduce these characteristics when desired. My decisionmaking process in art is mainly intuitive, relying on personal experience, historical references, principles of design, and other artists’ work. I use a mode of thought like that of the Surrealists, letting my subconscious guide me. I’m currently making large geometric rounds sliced out of trees. The transformation of organic, natural material into a seemingly machined surface is a long-running theme in my work.”

LOUISE BOURNE

Bicycling in Longfellow Square, 2017, oil on canvas, 36” x 48” “From February to May of this year, I rented a room overlooking Longfellow Square in Portland. The view provided a bonanza of action and visual intrigue different from my home studio on the Blue Hill peninsula. The winter brought constant snowstorms and plows, obliterating and then revealing streets and sidewalks. Green lights and violet spheres twinkled on the trees. All this sensory information enthralled me and provided me with a never-ending urge to paint. For each canvas, I established a basic layout, proportions, and color premise, and then proceeded with multiple changes—editing, adding, and subtracting. I wanted to convey gesture and light condition; I love a combination of geometry and atmosphere riddled with people, and how light fractures and unites. I thought about Edward Hopper, John French Sloan, Wayne Thiebaud, Joan Mitchell, and early Italian Renaissance Annunciation paintings. With Bicycling in Longfellow Square, I changed the relative greens and oranges multiple times for unity and flow. As I struggled to paint, leaves and then blossoms opened, replacing the previous polka-dot lights like a visual pun.”

BETH ANNE GORDLEY

Misty Maine Morning, 2014, digital photograph, 16” x 20” “My camera enables me to capture a minuscule, passing moment and transform it into a still image to be experienced and projected. I’m inspired by light and its transience, along with color and composition. I aim to envelope light in my still life and scenic photography, allowing it to be the essence of every image. Light creates tone and atmosphere, and it plays with the scene’s elements. It mottles colors, softens lines, reveals details, flickers across the frame’s edges, and forges shadows. If there is a unique object or scene, but the light is not dynamic or soft, the image will not be interesting.

Light is always what catches my eye and makes me pause.

My photograph Misty Maine Morning evokes tranquility.

I was on my daily walk across the Belfast footbridge when the fog enveloped me with its monochromatic simplicity and quietude. I hit the shutter as the seagulls gently entered the frame and the smell of ocean air and sounds of crunching ice created an impression. There is satisfaction in knowing I create images that have never existed within the bounds of a frame. I hope my photography evokes an emotion, dream, or memory that touches people.“

BONNEY GOLDSTEIN

Move Along Please, 2017, mixed media on canvas, 60” x 60” “Through the use of mixed media, my work stands as a visual history of the journey from childhood to adulthood. It shows the scars, joys, and struggles of growing up in the 1950s with a certain set of rules and then experiencing the 1980s when those rules changed. Life became very different from the world in which I was raised. The textures, cavities, clashing colors, scratches, and text suggest my struggle. As I age, my figures seem to disappear, becoming less and less human, and I am reminded that I, too, am becoming invisible. My work suggests the vulnerability of being shaped by the collective consciousness surrounding us.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 156.

UNSUNG HEROES The Maine Jewish Museum tells the stories of the Holocaust’s most courageous women

lthough gender norms have often prevented women from holding positions of power, certain women found opportunities to transform the course of historical events.

In the case of the Holocaust, young Anne Frank helped define our remembrance of the tragedy, but other brave women of the era have been nearly forgotten.

Linda Stein’s nonprofit activist organization Have Art: Will Travel! is attempting to prevent the erasure of the fearless women who worked to save themselves and others through her traveling exhibition entitled Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females, which will be on view at the Maine Jewish Museum in Portland from September 14 to December 12. The show features Stein’s mixed-media tapestries representing ten women of various nationalities

who exemplified courage during the tragedy, such as Frank; Zivia Lubetkin, a leader of the Jewish underground in Nazi-occupied Warsaw; and Hannah Senesh, who parachuted into Yugoslavia to rescue Hungarian Jews on the verge of deportation to Auschwitz. Twenty sculptures, a Wonder Woman statuette, and a sevenminute video featuring commentary by filmmaker Abigail Disney, historian Elizabeth Sackler, and journalist Gloria Steinem, among others, complement the exhibition.

The Maine Jewish Museum’s resident curator, Nancy Davidson, who was born in 1938 on the eve of the Holocaust, says, “My hope is that Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females inspires people to learn more about the Holocaust.” On the following pages, Maine Home+Design offers a preview of the exhibition.

MUNJOY MODERN At 30Lofts, an all–local team creates smart spaces for urban living

by Susan Axelrod // Photography by Jonathan Reece

Unit 6 at 30Lofts boasts sweeping views of Casco Bay. All the units have large, eastern-facing windows, French doors, an open-flow design, and a clean, modern aesthetic.

R

ealtor and developer Tom Landry has spent most of his career doing restoration and renovation work—giving old homes new life and repurposing dilapidated buildings into modern housing. While he is fond of saying, “the greenest house is the one you never build,” sometimes, old structures are impossible to save. Such was the case at 30 Merrill Street on Munjoy Hill, where Landry and his team at CornerStone Building and Restoration are constructing six thoughtfully designed condominium units in a new, energy-efficient building named 30Lofts.

Residents of 30Lofts will enjoy light-filled spaces with nearly ten-foot ceilings, plenty of storage, and offstreet parking. The one- and two-bedroom units all have large windows and French doors opening onto balconies

overlooking the street, and many have glimpses of the water. In Unit 5, water views from the open-concept living/ kitchen area are significant, and its two spacious bedrooms open onto a large, sun-filled south-facing balcony. Unit 6 boasts over 1,600 square feet, two master suites, flexible living space, and both a wrap-around deck and a private sky deck affording 360-degree views, from Casco Bay to Mount Washington.

“We’re locals, we understand Portland,” says Landry. “It’s a new building, but it has architectural interest—inspired by its surroundings as well as being state of the art for today.”

One of his partners in 30Lofts is Rich Robinov, a fellow Portland native whose first project with Landry was his own home on Munjoy Hill, built by CornerStone two years ago. “Tom has a very keen eye for detail and longstanding

be some of the lowest in the city. “Because of the thoughtful choices we made during construction, residents will have many years of stress-free and worry-free living,” Landry says.

Landry’s third development partner is Portland native Mike Boissonneau, whose uncle owned the house at 30 Merrill that couldn’t be saved. “The location is my favorite aspect, and the views from the top are spectacular,” he says. “As an architect, Evan is wonderful to work with—not only his designs, but his thoughtfulness. We all agree we’re putting the best product forward as we possibly can—for the neighborhood, and for Portland.”

timelessness,” Robinov says, citing the combination of 30Lofts’ modern design elements with traditional clapboard siding, a nod to the older residential buildings of the East End. “It’s going to be a signature property for the neighborhood.”

To design 30Lofts, the team turned to Evan Carroll of Bild Architecture, who describes the project as “right on the front edge” of contemporary development on Munjoy Hill.

“The building is close to the sidewalk but not right on it—it’s pleasing to pass by,” says Carroll. “There’s a sense as you walk by that it’s someone’s space, and as a resident, a sense that it’s your space and it’s welcoming.” Carroll deliberately kept the interior spaces uncluttered, giving owners a blank canvas that can be customized “while making sound urban design decisions on the outside,” he says. Buyers will be given a credit for choosing cabinet pulls and for having closets finished to suit their needs. “If people buy in relatively soon, they’ll have more control with the finishes—tile, flooring, and cabinet color,” says Tom Gagne, lead project manager for CornerStone, adding that the “reductive” design helps create a feeling of spaciousness in each unit. “The result is that we are giving people a great place to spend time, whether it’s their second home or primary residence,” says Carroll.

Ranging in price from $389,900 to $895,000, the units are designed to meet the needs of a variety of owners, “from millennials to baby-boomer empty-nesters,” says Landry. “We put a modern spin on intergenerational living.” He expects the pet-friendly building to attract active residents who will appreciate easy, in-and-out access to storage for items such as kayaks and bicycles. They will also appreciate the builders’ use of no-VOC paints and green driveway pavers. “We’re doing our part to create healthy living environments both inside our units and out,” says Gagne. The no-water landscaping, lowmaintenance exterior, super-efficient envelope, LED lighting, ultra-efficient heat and air-conditioning, and more mean that the overall cost of ownership and monthly condo fees will

VIEW FINDER

T

he homeowners desired a main cottage where they could walk out to enjoy the sweeping 180-degree views at their breathtaking oceanside site, without blocking views from an existing guesthouse. In order to meet these criteria, Phelps Architects designed a two-story cottage with dual low-profile gables that are supported by shingle-style posts on flared bases, and that step gracefully down the site to a lower stone terrace that grounds the building.

The lower-level guest bedrooms, screened porch, and family room look through arched, open cedar lattices to an inviting walkout lower level of extensive stone terracing with an outdoor stone fire pit. The walkout space and facade soften the transition from the harsh, ragged ledge of the site to the interior spaces through a layering effect of terrace, cedar lattice, and glass doors and screens, which provide views and allow light to enter. Additionally, arches and porches wrap the corners of the building to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. The open corners let the clients look past the building while

also framing their views of the natural surroundings. On both the first and second floor, a recessed area between the dueling gables helps to block severe winds and allows the owners to sit outdoors and enjoy the sun and water in all kinds of weather.

In addition to solving site-related concerns and height restrictions, the architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to create shinglestyle charm, which resonates through the integration of portholes, cottage-hung windows, and shingle flares. While the exterior materials are contextually driven, the interior spaces and overall building form are designed with an open-concept floor plan and cathedral ceilings in order to optimize the sense of space and openness. The main-floor spaces orient around a two-story stone fireplace in the great room, where an open, U-shaped central stair creates an inviting transition to the lower, family and guest level.

Because this is a second home, the owners will enjoy the use of low-maintenance materials such as stone terracing, metal roofing, and cedar siding to create a cottage that will serve as a relaxing getaway for many years. MH+D
