hen I interviewed Kirk Goddard about building his rustic-modern cabin (A Labor of Lumber, page 60), he told me how he was trying to capture a particular feeling, one that would remind him of childhood summers spent at a New Hampshire camp. While there are indeed some hard-and-fast rules in design, at the end of the day, what building or decorating a home comes down to—what Goddard knows—is that a space should be designed based not on traditions or trends, but rather on how it makes you feel. Case in point: Goddard literally flipped building convention on its head by installing flooring on the cabin's ceiling. Without any grooves between the boards, the effect perfectly encapsulates the rustic but refined feeling of endless camp summers that Goddard was after. Aesthetic and feeling are closely linked. Notably, the word “feel” appears in this issue 28 times. It is used to describe a Wells beach

home (Built for the Beach, page 88) that Massachusetts-based Paul and Judy Jusseaume decorated not in the classic coastal color theme of blue and white but in a neutral palette of driftwood, sand, and seagrass. The feeling? Beachy, soothing, and relaxed. And it comes up again in a story about a Freeport home (Delayed Gratification, page 74) where a staircase with a granite newel leads to a secreted away wine cellar where the homeowner caps off evenings with friends. When I visited the home, the cool stone created a tactile feeling of seclusion, of descending into a sleek, cavern-like speakeasy. It’s well known that environment affects mood. Judy Jusseaume gets to the crux of the matter when she explains why she and her husband first decided to head north and settle here in the state. “We’d drive over the bridge into Maine,” she says. “And all our stress would go away.” Now that is a feeling worth listening to.

STAFF NOTE PHOTOGRAPHY BY HEIDI KIRN

y the time you hold this issue in your hands fall will be well underway. The leaves will have taken their final bow, and we will have turned the clocks back, moving sunset to before supper. Outside, the smell of woodsmoke will cut through crisp air. And inside, if we’re lucky, a crackling fire will be keeping us warm. Woodstoves heated my childhood winters, both in my home in upstate New York and at our camp in the Adirondacks. Every year a truck would deliver the wood that my dad would meticulously stack and then pull from all winter long. The inaugural fire on the first chilly night of fall was a consolation for the summer ending. Somehow, the snow doesn’t seem as wet or as cold when you can smell the smoke from the fire that’ll soon dry your boots. The best part of having a fire, though, was that it brought us all together in the same room. In that cozy corner of our house, we found warmth.

KC featuring

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a woodstove. When I lived in apartments in New York City the closest thing I had (which is to say, not close at all) was a scalding, clanking radiator that I had no control over. Here in Maine, it took several winters with frequent power outages to decide another heat source was necessary. Last month, at long last, my husband and I had a fireplace installed. When I talked to Barrett Made, who designed and built it for us, my request was simple: “I just want a place to hang the stockings at Christmas.” What I was really after, though, was turning an ignored corner of our living room into a gathering place in our home—a place we would all be together. (And like any good architect and builder, they knew exactly what I meant.) I hope your own home, fireplace or no, grants you and your family that same kind of warmth all fall and winter long.

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.

He loved swinging a hammer that summer for a talented carpenter friend in Massachusetts but was feeling the pressure to get a “real” job. It took 20 years to return to his love of building beautiful spaces, and is now close to finishing his formal construction career 15 years later as a project manager for Ledgewood Construction in South Portland. Goddard has built four custom homes and a barn on his beloved Cranberry Ridge property in Freeport and loves bringing a lifetime of ideas to fruition during the design and build process.

I’m really looking forward to the first copies of the magazine when it arrives. Your photos posted to Facebook are just lovely. We are exploring the possibility of one day moving to Maine. I thought subscribing to your publication would be helpful for getting a feel for different areas of coastal Maine. We have visited the state in the past, and it’s difficult to narrow down a potential future home. DONNA PARK NEWTON, PA My wife and I have been vacationing annually in Maine for the past 10 years and have developed a strong connection with the people, culture, and place. I have been visiting Maine far longer than that, but having lived in California for 20 years, there was a significant gap in visiting other than a few limited trips to visit extended family.

COASTAL ENTERPRISES, INC. (CEI), a community development financial institution, has recently received LEED Platinum accreditation for its new headquarters in Brunswick. CEI worked with CWS Architects and Thornton Tomasetti to design and construct a reflective white roof, maximize natural light exposure in conference rooms and interior spaces, and source regional and recycled materials. In addition, AlliedCook Construction installed a groundwater-source heat pump and cooling system powered by a photovoltaic system.

Four students from the CENTER FOR FURNITURE CRAFTSMANSHIP were recently honored in the postsecondary school division at the Association of Woodworking and Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS) Fresh Wood competition at the AWFS Fair in Las Vegas.

Q+A with Kirk Goddard on the LED lighting in his Freeport home

When Kirk Goddard decided to build a new home in Freeport, he and his wife, Kathy, agreed that the best site overlooked Kelsey Brook, a tributary of the Harraseeket River. His challenge? The narrow tree-lined ravine offered limited daylight. Undaunted, Goddard blasted a steep driveway to reach the site and began looking into the best lighting options. We asked him about the advantages of LED lighting.

Q. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE LED LIGHTING FOR YOUR HOME?

With the darkness of the site, we knew the lights would have to be on most of the time. LED lighting offers the brightest light and the best economy. Statistics show that an average LED uses 25 percent of the energy of a halogen incandescent and lasts 8 to 25 times longer. We chose a variety of LED fixtures for the entire home. Many of the lights have dimmers to allow control over brightness between day and night. In the living room, we decided to use LED strip lighting around the valance ceiling. While it cost about $800 to install, it offers superior brightness and creates a warm atmosphere that complements the hardwood-lined walls and ceiling. We also have smart controls that enable us to manage the lighting when we’re away from home.

Q. HOW COMPLICATED WAS THE LED STRIP LIGHTING?

Our electrician had never installed strip lighting before but had no problems. We needed 80 feet to surround the ceiling in the living room. This requires a driver to power every 40 feet of strip. The drivers need to be installed in close vicinity to the strip, so we hid them in a basement closet beneath the living area. I would have used more strip lighting in the kitchen, but there was no easy place to hide the drivers.

Q. WHAT ARE YOUR AVERAGE ELECTRICAL COSTS?

A. Depending on the time of year, our

bill from Central Maine Power ranges from $65 to $90 for our 2,800-squarefoot home. This reflects many days when most of the downstairs lighting (a space that’s about 1,000 square feet) is on for up to 16 hours. In two years, we’ve only replaced one LED bulb. MH+D

MAINE COAST STONE SYMPOSIUM The Maine Coast Stone Symposium (MCSS), a monthlong celebration of the history, art, and culture of Maine’s stone industry, was recently held in Boothbay. The exhibition Built with Stone retraced the history of commercial quarrying in Maine and showcased events, tours, lectures, and demonstrations exploring the historical and modern stone industry in Maine. The month culminated in a ten-day sculpture symposium featuring 13 Maine artists, a guest artist from Japan, and a student intern. MCSS resulted from a collaboration between the Boothbay Railway Village and the Maine Stone Workers Guild. MH+D

6 “As a history museum and a not-for-profit organization, the program had to fit our mission. It had to tell the story of what life was like in Maine between the middle of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. You can’t have a conversation about Maine during that period without taking the stone industry into consideration—it was big business.” —Margaret Hoffman, executive director of Boothbay Railway Village

MODERN BOHEMIAN

ith Sc andinavian touches , classic midcentury seating, and vintage textiles, this living area in Marfa Modern: Artistic Interiors of the West Texas High Desert (The Monacelli Press, 2016) by Helen Thompson manages to be both warm and modern. Get a similarly inspired look with John Robshaw pillows that are made of vintage fabrics stitched together into painterly, bold bands of color. For a coastal, Maine-style spin on the tumbleweed fixture, a woven rattan pendant adds plenty of natural texture. And for an element of whimsy, a tic-tac-toe game placed on top of an airy table is a definite conversation starter.

DIALOGUE IN DESIGN

ARCHITECT RYAN E. KANTERES ON HOW ARCHITECTURE IS BOTH AN ART AND A SERVICE —BUT NOT IN THE WAYS YOU MIGHT THINK

ur lives are largely lived in a built environment. “Nearly everything we interact with is designed, yet there is surprisingly little public dialogue about design,” says Ryan E. Kanteres of Scott Simons Architects. “Dialogue and engagement with clients and community are central to the process. I try to approach every project with openness, a willingness to listen, and without preconceptions.” Kanteres asserts that every building exists in a larger historical, cultural, and climatic context, yet has its own unique challenges and opportunities. “Successful projects meet the client’s needs while addressing these contexts in a way that makes connections, creates value and appropriate character, and hopefully achieves a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. These goals, and good design in general, are more grounded in the everyday than people tend to think.” MH+D asks Kanteres to tell us more.

10/3/17 10:36 AM

Q. A.

What makes something an example of good design?

Design is not an abstract enterprise. It has to be grounded in everyday life; it is the way we shape our built environment and shared experience. Even the most exceptional of buildings is experienced in relation to an everyday context. My approach toward the practice of architecture requires a collaborative team with a creative disposition, but the service we provide is more than just the application of skills, knowledge, and creativity. Rather, it requires direct engagement with client and community needs. I find significant motivation in how this resonates with my personal values.

Q. A.

Do you view this practice as more of an art or a service? Both. It has to be both. They are of course not mutually exclusive, but both aspects are often misunderstood. There is a prevalent misconception that art in architecture is an act of heroic origination, while the service is a pragmatic understanding of how to put buildings together. The art is not tied to a single act of inspiration or to the balance of a specific composition and material selection. These are aspects of it, but the art lies in the service—in the ability to fluidly develop a spatial framework that organizes project requirements and contextual responses into something that is experienced as a meaningful whole. While much of the work I do is on libraries and other civic projects centered on community engagement and public spaces, consider a recent small commercial project: a client approached our studio about relocating their headquarters to the Portland area, hoping to modernize and develop a flexible, open environment filled with amenities such as a collaboration cafe and large wellness center. Working on a wooded site, efforts were made to limit

the impact of site development and connect the office area to its surroundings with a variable rhythm of floor-to-ceiling windows. The form of the building was organized around a central atrium with northern clerestory windows. Bending the floor plan around this significant feature helped to shape, sequence, and provide a more intimate scale to the workstation while allowing for flexibility and connectivity. The building’s form responds to the solar orientation, while the second floor provides covered spaces, integral sun shading, and a meaningful connection to generous outdoor terraces. Through these articulations, the building was shaped by the interior culture but also engages with the site and connects the public and natural realms.

Q. A.

What are some of the ways the profession resonates with your values? Primarily by just being able to work in the public realm and engage community and environmental concerns. These issues are central to my design approach and also to my passion for promoting public discourse. People are often more comfortable talking about the terms of mortgage refinancing than discussing the design of their home or office, or even how a particularly great public space affected them. As speaker chair of the Architalx lecture series, I regularly work with colleagues to shape a program intended to foster and encourage dialogue about design—something that is important to me. We live the majority of our lives in a built environment but unfortunately have difficulty discussing it. Everyone has a valid perspective, and I particularly value engaging people in discussions of design and our shared interest in the public realm. MH+D

Hammond Lumber Company sales manager Fred Perkins (opposite) surrounded by the company’s primary product—pine boards. Hammond’s headquarters, including its sawmill and the first of 13 retail locations, occupies a 63-acre piece of property along Route 27 in Belgrade.

n 1953 Clifton “Skip” Hammond was a bootstrapping entrepreneur who spent fair-weather days cutting down pine trees and foul-weather days milling the logs into lumber at a diesel-powered sawmill on Route 27 in Belgrade. He initially owned the sawmill with a partner, but with 50 dollars he borrowed from his wife, Verna, Hammond bought his partner out and hired two employees. Hammond Lumber Company was launched. Sixty-four years later, I’m sitting at one end of a vast, granite-topped conference table on the second floor of Hammond Lumber Company’s modern headquarters, next door to the sawmill. “We’ve made a lot of efficiency changes over the years, but it’s still the same mill,” says sales manager and company spokesperson Fred Perkins. Across the room, a Palladian window offers a broad view of Messalonskee Lake, and on the wall to my right are three framed portraits of Skip Hammond, Verna Hammond, and their son, Don Hammond. “Mike’s has yet to be painted,” says

Perkins, referring to Don’s son, Mike Hammond, who was named president and CEO of the company in March. The family-owned company is proud of its legacy, which encompasses more than the people in the portraits. As Mike stated in the official announcement of his new leadership role: “Ultimately, our success as a company isn’t about one person, it is about our hard-working employees who provide great personalized service to our customers.” The respect goes both ways, says Perkins, who joined the company in 1991, starting in the lumberyard and customer service. One of 12 siblings who grew up on a dairy farm five miles from his current office, he credits his upbringing for instilling the values of “hard work and team work,” that have served him in his career. Perkins got his commercial truck driver’s license when he was told it would result in a 50-cent-per-hour raise and drove trucks from Belgrade to Hammond Lumber Company’s third satellite location in Auburn. He worked in receiving and as a dispatcher, eventually

becoming assistant manager at the Fairfield store, the company’s sixth location. “We have a strong belief of hiring from within, promoting from within,” he says. “We have examples throughout the company of managers who have worked in the sawmill, as truck drivers, and as yard employees.” One day in 1999, Perkins got a call from Don Hammond offering him the sales manager position for the company. “He said, ‘I’m sending you something. I want you to be the only one who reads it.’ It was a job description for sales manager.” The new job brought him back to Belgrade, where he lives with his wife, Amy, who works for MaineGeneral Health. (The couple has two sons, one in high school and one in college.) During Hammond Lumber Company’s early days, it supplied the lumber that built many of the Belgrade Lakes region’s summer cottages and camps, says Perkins. “Belgrade has been a vacation destination since the early 1900s. In the summertime, the population more than doubles.” It was Don Hammond who initially suggested expanding the company into retail, Perkins explains. “We joke that, when they were selling wood, the customers would say, ‘Why aren’t you selling nails? If you’re going to sell nails, why don’t you sell hammers?’” The first retail store opened in the early 1970s in a vacant granary on the same property as the sawmill. “It was poorly insulated and heated with a woodstove—I don’t even think there was any

plumbing in there,” he says. The company now operates 13 retail locations. “Each of the first four acquisitions came about because the existing competitor contacted Don and asked him if he would have any interest in buying them out,” says Perkins. “We take a lot of pride in being respected by our competition for the way we treat both our customers and our employees.” Following the addition of retail, the next company development was drafting, prompted by one of Don’s first salespeople, who would use pencil and paper to draw up customers’ designs. “Hammond Lumber was one of the first lumberyards that would provide home drafting,” Perkins says. “The feeling was that, if we can get in on the ground floor helping the customer design their dream home, then we can remain in the process throughout.” The company now has a large team of designers, a separate division of kitchen designers, and two employees who handle engineering. Having them on staff is one example of Hammond Lumber Company’s commitment to customer service. Another is offering a wide range of products. “Whether it’s cabinetry, roofing materials, decking, or siding brands, we like to have what the customers want,” he says. Where some companies might specialize in just one, Hammond carries all three major window brands— Marvin, Pella, and Andersen—and 15 or 16 lines of kitchen cabinetry. “Today’s customers have high expectations,”

Perkins says. “The days when we were all happy with a splitlevel ranch with oak kitchen cabinets, a steel front door with oval glass, and a bow window—those were simpler times. It was okay to match and have the same thing as your neighbor; it’s not okay anymore.” Certain products are location specific. A few stores, for example, are what Perkins calls “hardware heavy,” while the Portland location doesn’t sell paint because there are so many paint stores in the area. From the beginning, Hammond Lumber Company has offered free delivery, a point of pride for the company. “It’s been a passion of the Hammonds to provide excellent customer service, and they believe it begins with delivery,” says Perkins. The fleet ranges from pickups to boom trucks and delivers to wholesale and retail customers within an hour or two from one of the company’s locations. “We have a dispatcher in each branch, and they work together. If we don’t have a product in one branch, we’ll be able to fill it quickly from another branch,” he says. Leaving the conference room, Perkins gives me a tour of the store and offices, where it’s clear from meeting other company employees that this is a place where people are happy to come to work. That comes from the top, says Perkins, adding that father and son have “mutual respect for opinions and perspective.” He doesn’t see himself working anywhere else. “It’s really hard to beat,” he says. “I enjoy a problem because I know there’s a solution—we just have to find it.” MH+D

YARMOUTH

History and a welcoming spirit define this lively community by Susan Axelrod Photography by Nicole Wolf

istoric buildings, a beautiful coastline, wellregarded public schools, and a vibrant downtown: Yarmouth seems to have it all. Traveling along Main Street, where white church steeples rise next to well-kept homes, visitors may feel as if they’ve entered a Norman Rockwell painting. Depending on the season, kids may be riding their bikes to and from school, lining up outside the ice cream window at Handy’s Market and Cafe, or skating on Orland H. Blake Skating Pond in the center of town. Yarmouth has an impressive number of parks, trails, and open spaces, including Royal River Park, home to the annual Summer Arts Series, and Pratt’s Brook Park, which offers more than six miles of hiking and cross-country skiing trails. Sandy Point Beach on Cousins Island is a popular place for swimming and launching kayaks, while on neighboring Littlejohn Island, lobstermen bring their daily catch into the dock near classic Maine summer homes. Yarmouth also boasts a number of busy restaurants, with menus that range from pizza

and comfort food to contemporary small plates. The popular Portland-based institutions Rosemont Market and Otto both have outposts in town, while a craft brewery is in the works. Yarmouth’s long history is evident from its slogan: “Our Latchstring Always Out.” Leaving the latchstring out was a sign of welcome in Colonial times, when the way to open a home’s front door was by pulling a string that ran through a small hole and lifted the latch inside. To “lock” the door, the string could be pulled in. Latchstrings may have all but disappeared from even Yarmouth’s oldest homes, but a welcoming spirit continues to define this lively community nearly 12 miles north of Portland. Every July since 1965, that spirit extends to the thousands of visitors who come to Yarmouth for Clam Festival, a long weekend of family-friendly activities and fresh seafood that celebrates the heritage of the working waterfront. With broad local support, the annual event is a prime example of the pride residents take in this dynamic Maine town.

In the kitchen of Kirk and Kathy Goddard’s Freeport home, Kirk designed the “L” part of the counter to be detachable. When the couple have dinner parties, they slide the cabinet across from the kitchen sink, where it serves as an island and opens up extra seating space in the dining room. The ceiling is actually Douglas fir flooring, suggested and installed by Andy Walsh of Custom Interiors for its simple, clean look. The Shaker-style cabinetry, built by John Thurber of Dover, Vermont, is paneled with birch. The countertop is cast zinc.

ike the famous Blue Swede song goes, builder Kirk Goddard was hooked on a feeling. It originated from boyhood summers spent at an 1800s-era camp on Squam Lake in New Hampshire. It was a recollection of childhood—a combination of nostalgia, the outdoors, and summertime magic—that Kirk carried with him until one day when the memory began to manifest itself into reality. It all began when he was out hunting on Wolfe’s Neck peninsula in Freeport. Chasing a deer across an estuary of the Harraseeket River, Kirk came upon a steep ravine filled with ferns and oldgrowth trees, where sunlight filtered down through thick hemlock branches and an old logging road wound for almost a mile. Enchanted with the spot, Kirk promptly drafted a letter to the landowner, eventually convincing her to sell him 50 acres. At first, Kirk left the waterfront spot untouched and built a home higher up the hill. He and his wife, Kathy, who have two grown daughters, thought they would eventually build a summer cabin closer to the estuary. But after thinking about it more, Kathy suggested making the cabin a place they could live year-round and then selling the first home. With those plans in place, Kirk designed a 2,000-squarefoot home with three bedrooms and two baths.

Its waterfront location, toward the bottom of the ravine, meant having to blast a steep driveway. As a visitor, descending the steep pitch has a transporting effect. “It always reminds me of going back in time, because it’s old growth and there’s nothing here but nature,” says Kirk. Also adding to the feeling of its remoteness was the fact that Kirk spent hours on ladders and climbing trees, scoping out the ideal elevation to best capture views of the estuary with nary another house in sight. Now the cedar-shingled home seems neatly settled into an untouched landscape. “When we were finished doing the excavation, we wanted everything to go back to what it looked like in the beginning,” Kirk says. “We even saved most of the ferns and created a garden with them.” While the main goal of the home was to celebrate its setting (“The nature is the real wow,” says Kirk), a secondary goal was that guests would be pulled from room to room by continuous “wow” moments. The first of these happens immediately upon entering the home. The foyer features 8-inch square tiles, not in porcelain or ceramic, but—rather surprisingly—in wood. The end-grain tiles were made from 4-foot-long, 12-inch-square white and red oak beams that Kirk salvaged from a shipyard, where they supported submarines that were under

The exterior of the house (above) is shingled in Maibec cedar shakes, and the roof is metal. The hunter green trim and doors are the only painted parts of the home. The outdoor pavilion doubles as covered parking and a spot for parties. A post made of a birch found on the property marks the entrance to the stairs (opposite). The walls are clear pine, rather than knotty pine, which was deemed too busy looking.

The vanity in the downstairs bathroom (above), also built by Thurber, is topped with granite and paneled with cherry bark. The screened porch (opposite) was designed to be strong enough and large enough to serve as a dance floor for the 50 people at the wedding of one of the couple’s daughters.

construction. The planks were then milled by Fat Andy’s, and Andy Walsh of Custom Interiors did the design and installation of the tile. (Walsh consulted on all the woodwork in the home.) “We took the planks and ran them through a band saw, slicing off the ends instead of the side like you would normally do to make lumber,” he explains. “The ingrain tile is real tricky to do, because the wood shrinks. I had to cut it, stick it all, and let it dry for months. Then I had to go back and recut it, because when the wood dries, it warps, so it’s not square anymore.” The resulting effect was well worth the effort. The tile is a rich chestnut color that feels warm and textured underfoot, almost like well-worn leather. Off the foyer is the kitchen, where “wow” moments include cast-zinc countertops and cabinetry inset with birch bark. Birch cut from the property also appears on the stairway off

the kitchen and as columns between the dining and living areas. (The trick to preserving the bark, Walsh explains, is cutting the logs in the winter when the tree is dormant.) “The birch logs give it a historical vibe even though it’s a modern build,” says Kirk. “While there are a lot of artistic components in the house, these feel like they’ve always been here.” Additional artistic elements include two adjacent feature walls in the living area, each with a distinct look. On one, Kevin Wright, an artisan who works for the Heritage Company, wrapped the fireplace surround in hammered copper from the floor to ceiling. It also includes a niche for storing wood—a functional addition that adds warmth and sparkle. On the other wall, above a built-in that holds the television is a three-dimensional wall collage that uses the same salvaged shipyard wood. Designed by Kirk and Tom Esty of Ian Smith Custom Carpentry,

the textural installation feels like a Brutalist piece of sculpture. Other “wow” moments around the home include an outdoor shower tucked behind an upended tree root, industrial glass pendants (also salvaged from the shipyard) on the porch, and live-edge, western red cedar clapboards reverse shingled on a hip ceiling in the office, creating the effect of looking up at an inverted pyramid built of wood. With so many eye-catching details, Kirk didn’t want them to wind up feeling disparate. Walsh suggested going with wood walls and ceilings that had minimal grain as a clean, simple backdrop. While knotty pine—named for its numerous knots—is typically found in a traditional camp, it’s visually busy. “Knotty pine tends to grab your eyes, and you cannot look away from it,” says Walsh. “We went with clear pine because it allows you to see the other stuff.” Even more unconventional are the home’s

MHD LAYOUT 2017.indd 65

ceilings. Typical cabin ceilings are made with edge-and-center bead or V-match pine paneling, but that wasn’t the vision that Kirk was after. He wanted something sleeker, something less rustic. Walsh had the novel idea to use flooring on the ceiling, including Douglas fir, Australian cypress, and clear maple. The look is seamless, without any sort of groove between the panels. “It made it dramatic but clean,” says Kirk. “Even though it’s a camp, it’s a modern camp.” Like most camps, its purpose is to enjoy the outdoors. To that end, Kirk designed a wraparound screened porch and deck. At 840 square feet, it’s almost half the size of the entire home, and because it’s off the downstairs living area, it creates an easy sense of indoor–outdoor living. (Besides being the location of numerous corn hole games, the deck was designed to be strong and large enough to double as a dance floor for 50 people at the upcoming wedding of the couple’s

The home’s location in oldgrowth forest (opposite, top) means that it doesn’t receive a lot of natural light. “We had to make sure whatever lighting we used was interesting,” says Kirk. “The LEDs give a nice ambience and are extremely energy efficient.” LED cove lighting surrounds the Douglas fir coffered ceiling (opposite, bottom) in the living area. The design inspiration came after visiting a Newport mansion. “I realized that you don’t have to go big to be coffered,” says Kirk.

younger daughter.) Given his focus on the outdoors, it’s no surprise that the screened porch is Kirk’s favorite room in the house. “Even when you’re inside you’re outside,” he says. And while new memories are constantly being created—the couple enjoys playing fetch in the water with their daughter and son-in-law’s Labrador and taking their boat out at high tide—before all this was here, there was another memorable moment. This one happened when Kirk and Kathy were living in the house higher up the hill. Out the window one morning, they watched as a trio of deer ambled by, not far from where the deer had led Kirk years earlier. This time, what caught their eye was that one of the deer was white with spots (“It might as well have been neon,” says Kirk), a type of deer known as a piebald. Seeing one is a rare occurrence, the stuff of myth and legend. Some sort of sign perhaps? Kirk doesn’t begin to muse, but he did find ample inspiration in the sighting. The name they’ve given to their rustic-modern home? Piebald Point Cabin. MH+D

This classic contemporary home in Freeport was designed by architect Gary Lowe of Lowe Associatesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Architects in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, built by John Rousseau of Rousseau Builders in Pownal, and features landscape design by Todd Richardson of Richardson and Associates in Saco.

When the homeowner bought the property, the only thing on the lot was this old lobster wharf (above), which was once used for storing traps.

The floors are red birch, and the beams and ceiling are Douglas fir.

ur experience of a place unfolds through a sequence of moments. We see the light on the water, hear the leaves rustle dryly on the trees, and smell the scent of salt on the air. We approach a place through our senses, and as I pull into the driveway of this classic contemporary Freeport home, designed by architect Gary Lowe of Lowe Associates—Architects in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and built by John Rousseau of Rousseau Builders in Pownal, I enter into a purposefully designed experience, one that was thoughtfully planned to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Maine coastline. Lowe’s effect on the property begins before you even catch sight of the house. “I had the idea to add a curvature to the driveway to make it feel like a series of experiences rather than a straight shot to the water,” Lowe says. As you enter the two-and-a-half-acre lot, you see first a copse of pine trees, then the beginnings of the perennial garden, and then, finally, the seamed gabled roof of the house. It wasn’t always like this. When the homeowner first scouted the land back in the winter of 2012, she entered a cleared track that brought her straight from the road to overgrown lawn and encroaching forest. She took a straight line down the narrow, empty property, which brought her to the ocean, where an old fishing shack stood next to a weathered lobster wharf rising

from a rocky bed of sea heather and kelp. (“I knew it was perfect,” she remembers. “I signed the contract the next day.”) Despite the many attractions of the property, Lowe and Rousseau did face some challenges when it came to building within the allotted space. They knew from the beginning that the house could be only 40 feet wide, thanks to zoning regulations and easements. The goal, Lowe explains, was to capture as many views of the water as possible, from as many rooms as possible. Since the homeowner didn’t want to live in a glass box, this meant they needed to use elements of classic New England architecture in creative ways. Although you would never guess it from the exterior, “the house has the same confining restrictions as a typical shotgun house,” says Lowe. “I decided to take a different approach and stagger the disposition of spaces, so that the dining room, living room, study, media room, and owner’s bedroom would all get views of the water.” Much like Lowe’s introducing a curve in the driveway to optimize the visual appeal, he also created a series of moments within the house, starting with the front entrance and ending, depending on your preference, either in the cool dark of the wine cellar or the sunny heights of the thirdfloor “crow’s nest.” The first floor of the home features an open floor plan, which flows from the entryway (an area that also includes storage closets and stairs to the second and third

The house is also wired with a music system that the homeowner calls one of her “best investments.” The audio system was installed by Tucker and Tucker Associates Audio and Video by Design (they also installed the security cameras and remote-controlled lighting). The homeowner helped design the Douglas fir storage system for the cellar, which was adjusted and tweaked by Lowe. The living room faces the water and features an extended Douglas fir overhang. The pillars are covered in masonry that was installed by G.M. Libby and Sons to echo the forms of the interior and exterior fireplaces. Opposite: The house features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and large windows, all of which help take full advantage of the ocean views.

floors), back toward the kitchen and dining room (which sit side by side in the middle of the house), to the spacious living room, which features cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows that looks out toward the water. A second-floor interior balcony sits above the kitchen and dining room. “One detail of the house that I love is the rounded arches in the living room ceiling,” says the homeowner. Instead of cutting straight across the open space, these Douglas fir beams curve upward, opening the view and echoing the rounded shape of the balcony. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” adds Lowe. “We were dealing with a confined space, and so I made the arches so that even a very tall person standing on the balcony could see the water. Then, once the arch came into play, we decided to carry it all the way through.” Curved arches can be found under the roof eaves and gables; Lowe even added a smaller arch to the entryway, using this subtle repetition to create a sense of cohesion between the classic New England exterior and the contemporary decor of the interior spaces. “When we were designing the house, I knew I wanted something classic that wouldn’t age poorly or feel out of place in Freeport,” says the homeowner, who grew up nearby and has recently returned to Maine after years of living abroad. “But I also have a lot of midcentury modern pieces, and I didn’t want those to feel out of place, either.” Lowe adds, “The homeowner has a clear sense of taste, and it was important that we create something that references historic and traditional homes but would also work with a modern interior.” Fortunately, natural wood can help bridge this divide, and so Rousseau installed

cedar siding on the exterior, red birch floors inside, and Douglas fir accents throughout. The homeowner also dedicated her time and energy to sourcing suitable statement pieces (with help from interior designer Frances Hodges of Frances G. Hodges Interiors in New Hampshire, who helped balance the homeowner’s vision and provided guidance when selecting key pieces). One standout feature is the eight-foot-long dining room table, made from a single slab of black walnut and a metal base, which sits below a modern, geometric brass chandelier. “I contacted the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship to get recommendations for furniture makers,” the homeowner explains. “I ended up using one of their instructors, Tim Rousseau [no relation to John]. We worked as a team to create this table, and it’s perfect. I use it every single day.” Throughout the home, raw wood, neutral colors, large windows, and traditional Persian rugs act as anchors for the owner’s collection of contemporary and abstract art. The living room is dominated by soft gray tones on the sofa and walls, and is accented by a saturated red and blue rug and a single large painting of red flowers by the Turkish-born artist Fatima Tahtali Furrer. The homeowner has hung a series of paintings by Saint Martin–based painter Wilfrid Moizan in the upstairs hallway, plus several more in the guest rooms. The homeowner’s style is uncluttered, which allows each painting to pack a large visual punch. While windows and calming colors dominate the upstairs, the tone shifts dramatically as you descend a set of stairs, lit from below with inlaid square lights, into the basement. “Once you open that door, everything changes,” Rousseau says. “We created

an old-world wine cellar. You go from a highly polished, almost formal space to somewhere back in time.” Down a rough plaster-coated hallway lined with doors painted to look a century old and behind a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, an elegant tasting room is complete with a small kitchen, a gleaming walnut table, black midcentury modern chairs, an industrial-style pendant fixture, and dozens of racks of aging wine. While Lowe drew the plans for the basement space, he recalls being caught off guard by the finished product. “One day, when I visited the jobsite and was walking down to the basement, I felt my hand on the handrail touch this stone,” Lowe recalls. He looked down and saw the granite newel that Rousseau had dreamt up and installed just days prior. Using the same granite that landscape designer Richardson and Associates was placing in the patio, Rousseau created another indoor– outdoor bridge—an upright stone post bound to an iron balustrade. It’s a small detail in a house full of details. The space is “a perfect experience in that house,” says Lowe. “Just when you’re not expecting it, you get this moment.” It’s where the homeowner likes to cap off her evenings with friends. “I wanted to have an intimate space,” she says. “Everything in this house is designed to be used, to be enjoyed. I want it to last for many generations.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 118

BUILT FOR THE BEACH AN INTRICATELY DETAILED, STRESS-FREE HOME FOR COASTAL LIVING

Massachusetts-based Paul and Judy Jusseaume hired Richard Moody and Sons to build this modified Cape near the beach in Wells. The highly detailed home has a bluestone walkway with a partial stone-veneer facade that echoes the yardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stone wall.

or the bulk of their professional lives, Paul and Judy Jusseaume owned an ambulance service in Marlborough, Massachusetts. They were accustomed to the stress that comes with a fraught, 24/7 job devoted to emergencies. Judy was all the more accustomed, because she grew up around the business, her father having started it. For more than a decade in the early 2000s, Paul and Judy had a home in Ogunquit where they came to relax on weekends. “We’d drive over the bridge into Maine,” says Judy, “and all our stress would go away.” By the time Paul and Judy retired, their two children were grown and had children of their own. The extended family still treasured the pleasures of the Ogunquit home but longed for more bedrooms and space. To build such a home, the couple turned to someone else who knows about devoting his professional life to a multigenerational family business: Josh Moody, who, along with his two brothers, is a fourth-generation builder in Wells. The Jusseaume project “was typical of how a lot of our homes come about,” says Josh. The company was building a few projects in the area at the time, and according to Josh, “The Jusseaumes were driving along the beach, saw signs for Richard Moody and Sons

Construction, and stopped at each one and met our people. Then they drove to our office, and said, ‘We like what you’re doing. We want you to build our house.’” As fate would have it, the lot the Jusseaumes had was in Moody, a village within Wells, where Josh’s greatgrandfather used to run the area’s general store and post office. He had been a builder and farmer as well. “Back then, everyone did everything,” Josh says. The Jusseaumes loved the coastal homes with intricate finish detailing that Moody and Sons is known for. They picked favorite features from previous houses that Moody had built, employing Tom Bouchard of Wells as their architectural designer. In the end, they incorporated extensive trim, wall paneling, beadboard, coffered ceilings, and archways, as well as custom built-ins. The house is partially open-concept, with a very large kitchen separated by an arch from a vaulted living room, but the dining room and ground-floor owners’ bedroom are two distinct rooms off the foyer. There is also a children’s TV room, or “quiet” room, off the mudroom. Judy and Paul have five grandchildren, four girls and one boy. The girls who were old enough to have an opinion selected the colors of two of the upstairs children’s bedrooms; one has pink walls, the other has purple. The boy

The dining room (above) has beachinspired furniture, detailed trimwork, and a rectangular chandelier from the Lighthouse in Kennebunk.

The furniture is from Jordan’s Furniture, and the bedding gets an occasional do-over, thanks to trips to Bed Bath and Beyond. The sandpipers echo whimsical decorations throughout the house. The custom mullions (shown in the small windows here) appear throughout the house, as do the floors stained a custom gray to suggest driftwood.

Karen Alcorn at Home Again by Hancock Lumber designed the bathrooms and kitchen. Here, she used an extended island so the whole family can gather. The top tier is Cambria, and the lower is walnut. Adding visual contrast are the backsplash tiles from Blue Rock of Maine that run in two different directions and the gray stove hood and drawers. The inset panel cabinetry is beadboard.

selected the color of an extra room above the garage (which has more beds, including a child’s bed in the shape of a boat and a crib for the newest grandchild). The children’s bedrooms share a large bath, while an additional bedroom for adult guests has a private bath with a pocket door. The interior aesthetic is beach inspired. The floors are quarter-sawn white oak with a custom gray finish, a treatment that suggests driftwood. Judy wanted gray and white as the dominant palette for the ground floor, so the walls are gray while the trim and detailing are white. These neutrals are purposefully peaceful and subtle. When color is introduced, it is largely restrained, such as the light mint green on the furnishings in the living room and the pale blues and tans of the pillows and linens in the owners’ bedroom. (“She changes the colors every three or four months,” Paul says, apparently teasing, but then Judy admits this is true. Still, she says, she thinks she will stick with what she has for now.) Marble appears in the house, sometimes in unexpected places (such as the small square tiles on the living room’s fireplace surround) and sometimes in unexpected combinations, as in the owners’ bathroom, which has subway, square, and mosaic tiles, plus bubble-shaped tiles on the shower floor. By way of contrast to the light palette, single-

basket iron balusters on the staircase “change up the white and gray,” says Josh. A navy and white indoor porch opening off the kitchen was an opportunity to go bolder with color. The porch extends to an outdoor deck, which has a grill built into custom mahogany cabinets that conceal a mini-fridge and utensil storage. From both the indoor porch and outdoor deck, the view is of the backyard trees and, behind that, a marsh, which is part of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. For the kitchen, Judy says she liked the idea of “everyone milling around and casually talking.” To achieve this cozy ideal, the Jusseaumes worked with Karen Alcorn at Home Again by Hancock Lumber for the kitchen design. (Alcorn is also responsible for the bathroom design.) Opting out of a traditional kitchen table, the Jusseaumes chose to center the room around an oversized island with countertops at two different heights. Cambria quartz makes up the upper countertop, where the family gathers for meals, and the lower countertop, which serves as more of a workstation, is walnut. The perimeter cabinets (above the counter) and drawers (below the counter) are painted white with knobs and have pulls decorated with seashells, turtles, and starfish. The kitchen also has a wet bar with a built-in wine refrigerator, wine rack, and cabinets with glass doors.

An arch between the kitchen and living room (above) replicates an arch over a window to the left that overlooks the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Small, square marble tiles from Blue Rock of Maine form the fireplace surround. In the owners’ bathroom (opposite), Alcorn stepped the cabinet back and pulled the sinks forward. The faucets are from Kohler’s Finial collection and were supplied by Spritzo and Splash.

In addition to the cabinet hardware detailing, beach-inspired decorations are scattered throughout the house, with starfish in the dining room, wooden sandpipers on a table in the front entry, and a surfboard propped on a high shelf in the owners’ bedroom—a ledge that was formed when Richard Moody and Sons Construction ducted the gas fireplace that is set into a wall of craftsman– style paneling. “I am always cold,” says Judy, referring to her desire for a bedroom fireplace. “Sometimes we like to turn the heat off in the house and close the door and just be cozy in here,” she adds. The facade of the house makes use of black-framed windows with custom black mullions, some in the shape of elongated hexagons, others in the form of a starburst. At the rear of the house, a large arched window overlooks the wildlife refuge. This window fills almost all of one living room wall, and its arch visually references the arch that is used to define the space between the front entry hall and kitchen, and another arch that marks the transition between the kitchen and the living room. Like the interior, the white-cedar

shingle exterior is intended to be subtle, focusing on natural materials and colors to allow the house to blend in with its surroundings. A bluestone path leads to a portico with a single tapered white column. To the left of the front door is a stone veneer accent wall. Its materials are echoed in the stacked stone fence that defines a long garden bed in the front of the house. More stacked stone appears in foundation walls that create two levels; the lower backyard is separated from the wildlife refuge by a white picket fence interwoven with beach plums. (Craig Alexander of Alexander’s Custom Stone and Landscape in Wells is responsible for the landscape design.) The house has a large front lawn and is located on a cul-desac, which belies how conveniently located it is to the summer pleasures associated with certain coastal tourist towns: clam shacks, a mini-golf range, and shopping. But for the Jusseaumes the real draw of the location was, and remains, the beach, which is walking distance from their house. Its name? Moody Beach.

MAKING IT MODERN A midcoast couple shines light on contemporary Scandinavian design and modern Maine makers at Periscope, their gallery-inspired home goods store in Rockland

1. Jan Leth and Ariel Hall, coowners of Periscope, with a Hay sofa by designer Hee Welling. The carpet is from Scholten and Baijings. The print pillow is from Ferm Living; the solid one is from Fog Linen Work. 2. The Align daybed by Anita Johansen for Menu is flanked by Michaela Crie Stone’s Parabola coffee table on the left and a tower of Glerups wool slippers on the right. The art is by Dylan Haigh (left) and Kimberly Crichton (right). 3. The Menu Tumbler alarm clock designed by Norm Architects rests on Jeremy Porter’s Freo Shelf Trio. 4. Michaela Crie Stone’s Helix light in painted wood.

hen partners Ariel Hall and Jan Leth decided to open a shop in Rockland, they didn’t intend for it to become a furniture store. “We wanted to create a gallery-like space but with functional objects that we treat like art,” Leth says. “The goal was to keep it fluid and to do something that nobody else was doing. It ended up being a furniture store, although that doesn’t sound as exciting as what we were imagining.” He looks at Hall, who is dressed in a black linen jumpsuit and holding their infant child, and they nod in tandem. But no matter whether you call it a home goods shop or a gallery space, Periscope is exciting, thanks to the unusual goods that Hall and Leth have chosen to import and stock. They have arranged the shop in vignettes—a dining table paired with chairs and topped with vases and sculptures here, a couch paired with a rug there—all tied together by their muted color palettes and minimalist lines. “My dad

was a Danish architect,” Leth reveals, “and I was raised with Danish modern architecture.” While there is a focus on functionality at Periscope, both partners have a history working in the arts, and it shows. The couple met in Maine, where they “bonded over our shared exodus from New York,” Hall says. Although Hall grew up in nearby Hope, she had spent several years working as an artist in New York City. Leth also lived there, where he served as a global creative director for the advertising firm Ogilvy and Mather. They were further united by their love of contemporary art and design. After a few months of living in Maine, they swiftly realized that, while the midcoast region had plenty of great furniture stores and art galleries, there wasn’t one that focused on this particular type of cutting-edge Scandinavian design. “Not everyone wants Maine cottage–style pieces,” Leth observes. “And there was nothing this contemporary happening up here—not even in Boston,” Hall adds.

10/3/17 10:37 AM

SHOP T AL K|P E R IS C O P E The Periscope showroom features furniture arranged in various vignettes. In the foreground, Menu’s Tailor sofa by Rui Alves and a pair of Børge Mogensen’s Spanish chairs from Fredericia Furniture are centered around Space Copenhagen’s Spine coffee table, also from Fredericia Furniture. The rug is by artist Tim Van Campen, whose painting hangs above the dining table. Behind the cash wrap hangs a Louise Gray quilt.

Periscope fills that niche nicely, selling long, low benches designed by famed midcentury modern Danish designer Børge Mogensen, minimalist oak and fabric sofas by Portuguese designer Rui Alves, and quirky ruffled pendant lamps by Copenhagen-based design firm Iskos-Berlin. While many of their pieces come from foreign shores, the couple is working hard to bring in more Maine-made items. “Curation is something we really want to emphasize,” Hall says. “The Scandinavian element comes from Jan’s heritage, but I’m from Maine. It’s important that we’re also bringing in local people and makers.” To that end, they have been working with furniture designers such as Michaela Crie Stone, who is based in Maine, and Asa Pingree, who is now based in New York but who has deep ties to Maine—he’s the son of Maine congresswoman Chellie Pingree—to increase their collection. They’ve also welcomed in students from the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship located in nearby Rockport. “It was so much fun to have them here

inspecting our furniture,” Leth says. “Not to toot our own horn, but I think it’s been helpful for some Maine artists to see that they don’t have to use their traditional craft skills to make traditional-style pieces,” Hall adds. “They can come here and see our enthusiasm and understand that they can be a little more experimental with their own aesthetic.” That these simple, airy designs would resonate with the Maine crowd “feels logical” to both Hall and Leth. The landscape of New England reminds Leth of his time spent visiting family in Denmark and exploring the rocky coast of Norway. Both cultures, he explains, value simplicity and natural materials such as wood and leather. “Most of these pieces feel so at home in Maine,” he says. In addition to the similar climate, Scandinavia and Maine also share some cultural values. “There’s a love of simplicity, and clean, functional things,” Leth continues. “Nothing extravagant, nothing extraneous. Just quality craftsmanship and quality work.” MH+D

HOW TO ADD A MODERN TOUCH TO YOUR MAINE HOME Blend and mix. Hall says that one of the easiest ways to give your house a fresh look is by mixing “old and new, mass produced and handmade. Mingling genres and materials can work well, especially if the pieces speak a similar or complementary language through their color or shape,” she says.

Declutter. “Don’t be afraid to leave space around a piece, especially if it’s a favorite,” says Hall. “Give it room to breathe, and it’ll be easier to appreciate its form, lines, and material. Ask yourself if you really even notice some pieces in your home. Sometimes less really is more, and creating space that lets air circulate can also encourage a sense of ease and flow.”

Ask yourself: What can my objects do for me? “Functional objects don’t always have to be reserved for their intended purpose or hidden away in a closet,” Hall explains. “If you like the look of a sleek dustpan or a cool canteen, hang them on the wall as art.”

Play with perspective. Hall suggests looking at your space, analyzing the lines of the room, and thinking about how these elements can be echoed (or subverted) through your choice of furniture. “Find symmetries and then make them slightly askew to shift the balance to something less predictable,” she suggests.

Finally, consider your location. “You can reflect the natural beauty of Maine in your choice of furniture and decor,” Hall says. “Think of materials, colors, and organic shapes that echo and feel in sync with your environment.”

ART SPOTLIGHT EDITED BY BRITTANY COST

O N E S T O WAT C H Five standout artists to keep your eye on

JACK MONTGOMERY

Lauren, Sunday Best, 2017, digital photograph, 11” x 17”

“I love painting. Realists like Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, and Vilhelm Hammershøi, and artists from the Ashcan School have always moved me. For years, I photographed in black-and-white film. Then, as now, I loved the medium. Throughout that period of my art, I envied painters and their ability to embrace a palette, to create fictional spaces and characters, to rely upon surfaces and textures, and to create lighting to capture a mood or emotion. Over the past few years, as I transitioned from traditional

film photography to digital cameras and printers, I began to explore the ever-softening boundary between photography and painting. For me, the ability to make a digital image with the qualities of a painting has offered new perspectives. I don’t want to create a photograph that looks like a painting. Rather, through photography I construct an image that comes closer to the visions I carry in my head that move me. Melding the elements of both photography and painting intrigues me. I aim for a dialogue between the two media.”

ART SPOTLIGHT

DAN DALY

Fresh Snow, 2015, oil on linen, 40” x 30” “Barnett Newman said, ‘Aesthetics is to artists what ornithology is to birds.’ At this stage of my life, I just paint and draw what interests me. I use oils, watercolors, or ink, and I focus on people, places, or studies of objects that excite me. I fill up sketchbooks and draw constantly. A concern for light and strong color choices are common threads in my work, along with a desire to make an arresting image that reflects my life in Maine and New England throughout the seasons.”

MARNIE SINCLAIR Fanning, 2017, acrylic on canvas, 20” x 24”

“The painting you see here is an extension of the work I’ve been doing on climate change, environmental degradation, and finding perfect balance in nature. I have always been inspired by how inventive and magical nature can be in assuring the survival of each species. We all fit together with precision and balance. Fanning represents the aquatic habitat of fascinating sea creatures that have adapted to survive in the depths of the ocean. In it, seaweed sways and shadows hover. This painting is fanciful, yet it represents the rhythm of creatures who live and dance out of our sight, as they adapt, grow, and survive.”

MHD LAYOUT 2017.indd 108

10/3/17 10:37 AM

JESSICA LEE IVES Embody, 2017, oil on panel, 18” x 18”

“I paint out of love—love for the world and for the human capacity to know the world through movement, recreation, and adventure. Kinesthetic intelligence and imagination are very important to me, as is the sensation of wonder. That a small movement of paint can capture a large movement of a body through water, and that we can know the world’s beauty through both these actions, is astounding. Today’s humans move their bodies less than any other animal in any other age. I, however, choose to move and be moved, my art following my life. If I paint water well, it’s not because I’ve spent time looking and figuring it out; it’s because I’ve spent so much time immersed in it, moving my body through it and being moved by it. I never want to mistake thinking for seeing, nor seeing for knowing. Instead, I want to be moved closer to what Joseph Campbell says we all yearn for, which is not meaning in life, but ‘the experience of being alive.’ Can we expand the vision we have for ourselves and our world beyond the limits of our sedentary brains and eyes? Can we allow our vision to flow into whole-body sensing, fully feeling the world around us and inside us? We are, after all, mostly water—fluid and dynamic. I hope in some small way my art can help us learn to swim again.”

ABBY CARTER

Guest, 2015, gouache on board, 10” x 10” “Painting portraits is the current focus of my work. With a large format and different media, I can push the portrait in different directions, moving toward abstraction or staying true to the likeness of the subject. In 2012 I walked into the soup kitchen at Saint Vincent de Paul in Middletown, Connecticut, to be a volunteer drawing teacher. I showed up every Tuesday and spread my art supplies out across the dining room tables. Few people showed interest until the assistant director for community services asked if I’d like to do portraits of the guests. Now, after four years, the walls of the soup kitchen are lined with portraits of over 230 guests. In this age of celebrity, many people are left unseen and underappreciated. I hope these portraits help others see the varied and interesting faces I saw every Tuesday. This project began because I felt the need to give back, and it has turned into a part of my life that I never want to lose. The people of this community have given me their warmth and spirit and a sense that I belong. Isn’t that how we all want to feel? I recently moved to Portland, and I hope to pursue projects like this here, too.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 118.

1845 Henry David Thoreau turned his back on civilization, retreating to a small house on Walden Pond in Massachusetts for the next two years, where he would practice self-reliance and independence from society. Although he’s perhaps best known for Walden, the book resulting from his experiments in simple living, Thoreau also made several trips to Piscataquis County in northern Maine, leading him to compile The Maine Woods based on articles he had written about the region. During one of these excursions, Thoreau mused, “What is it to be admitted to a museum, to see a myriad of particular things, compared with being shown some star’s surface, some hard matter in its home!” More than a century and a half later, a group of Mainers would petition the government to designate the neighboring landscape, Katahdin Woods and Waters, as a national monument. We Might Climb a Tree, at Least, a new exhibition at Portland’s Maine Museum of Photographic Arts, offers an homage to the transcendentalist writer on the bicentennial of his birth, as well as to the conservation movement that he inspired. New England–based artists showcase glimpses of a raw, unbounded natural world and question human relationships with wilderness. One image, shot by Gary Green, frames a sign stating “National Park No” in the midst of overgrown grass on the side of a road; Ethan Hayes-Chute’s Beacons, 2017 series sets lamps in mossy forests, gesturing toward the inescapability of human influence on nature and its corresponding impact on our cultural identity. “Thoreau draws attention to the stewardship of our wilderness,” says Denise Froehlich, the director of the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts. “Future generations must be able to walk around the ‘great wild’ and find inspiration.” Running from November 2 to January 27, the exhibition features a selection of photographs and includes a reissue of Thoreau’s Walking, released through a collaboration with the University of Southern Maine and Tilbury House Publishers. The show will also include a corresponding book signing and artist panel. On these pages, Maine Home+Design offers a preview of the exhibition. MH+D

his project aims to take advantage of distant water views through endless glass and minimal architectural interference. The clients have a love of design and modern architecture, and they wanted to build a home that doesn’t feel complicated. They were also inspired by the romance of Maine. Because the slope of the site gives the location privacy and interest, Portland’s Caleb Johnson Studio proposed “flying” the home off the slope toward the view. The design entices visitors to enjoy the various layers of living spaces—from the motor court to the deck. Challenges included solving for the necessary structural needs of the extensive glass that showcases the expansive views.
