SEPTEMBER IN MH+D Stories from around the state

“DECORATING IS AUTOBIOGRAPHY,”

Gloria Vanderbilt is often quoted as saying. I came across this axiom as we were putting together the final touches on this issue, and it seems to speak to the three featured homes—a mountain house, a beach house, and a house on a river—in all their varied styles. But despite their differences in design, they share one important thing: they’re all beautiful reflections of the people who live inside them.

The mountain house in western Maine (On a High Note, page 72) was decorated by its owners, with the wife clipping ideas from magazines for months, then asking their builder to help turn them into an eclectic, comfortable reality. On Pine Point Beach (A Tale of Two Houses, page 104), a couple builds a new, nautically inspired house—less formal but still

classic—next door to their former home in order to accommodate their grown children and grandchildren.

And then in Falmouth, the third floor of a contemporary, cubic home with river views (A Light Touch, page 88) is renovated for glass artist Laura Fuller, whose own works, along with those of others, are on display throughout.

What I like most about these projects is that, in addition to being appropriate for their settings, each tells the story of the homeowners who live there. It feels like them. What does that mean for you, dear reader?

Take a cue from the homeowner in On a High Note. Tear out a page that catches your eye, or pin a picture of an idea you want to steal. And then— and this is key—make it your own.

here is a fine line between adoring the things we own and placing so much significance on them that the responsibility of having and maintaining them becomes a burden. I learned this in a personal crash course last August when my mom sold the family home I grew up in to downsize to a more practical (and adorable) condo in South Portland’s Knightville neighborhood. The opportunity to relocate came quickly. We burned the midnight oil while packing, realizing that the amount a household can accumulate over the course of 20 years is astounding. Every time my mom was certain that it was her last Home Depot trip for more boxes, there would inevitably be another. There was so little time to decide what would be kept and what would be tossed that, at a certain point, we stopped thinking. Instead, I sat cross-legged on my childhood bedroom floor, surrounded by piles and sorting items based on my immediate, gut response.

This lesson served me well this June, when I downsized into my partner’s West End apartment. Not only is there a clarity that comes with letting go of the things we think matter, it’s a necessity when sharing an 850-square-foot space with another person. It’s also a process. Similar to my editing the earlier drafts of this staff note, it’s an effort of trimming away what’s unnecessary and making sense of

things—among the daily overload of junk mail, emails, bills, appointments, texts, and clothes that no longer fit. It is determining the must-haves, such as the antique table I had transformed with a can of canary yellow paint, as well as the things worth letting go, such as a box of receipts and train stubs from when I lived in Madrid.

In Absolutely Beautiful Things, a book written by one of my favorite interior designers, Anna Spiro, she applies the same philosophy to styling your home. “It’s important to collect things over time—and only the things you love or have meaning to you—and let your home gradually evolve; that way you come to notice common factors or special threads that bind everything together,” she writes. True to this advice, I don’t miss that box of receipts that I had a sentimental attachment to, even though it did nothing but sit in a closet and collect dust, while the yellow table I use every day makes me smile.

The most important thing to remember when you’re trying to simplify? As Spiro says, “Know what you love and what you don’t love.”

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.

DEWITT HARDY

by Andres A. Verzosa

Self in Winter, watercolor

eWitt Hardy is synonymous with art in Ogunquit, a force in the Maine arts, and a world-renowned master draftsman, printmaker, and watercolorist.

Sadly, he died July 8 after leaving a gala reception for the 21st Open Regional Juried Show at the Barn Gallery. As juror, I had the pleasure of selecting his watercolor, White Floral, to be in the show. A week or so before the opening, Hardy observed his 77th birthday with little fanfare. But that night at the Barn Gallery, we witnessed a celebration that most notably included his being fully embraced by his colleagues, friends, and peers of the Ogunquit Art Association, who deeply admired and fully appreciated him.

Earlier that evening, the Barn Gallery was electric with enthusiasm. Seated smack-dab in the middle of it all was a serene DeWitt, almost Buddha-like, wearing a wide smile that invited folks to sit beside him. Alongside him most of the evening was his longtime friend and former wife, artist Pat Hardy, both holding court on their respective thrones. Throughout the night they received and charmed 250 attendees. No one suspected that before the evening’s close that DeWitt would pass through the veil. As I watched the two of them, it occurred to me to capture this moment and take their picture, knowing that if I did not I would regret it. These are the last pictures of DeWitt to be taken.

That night, too, DeWitt and I had agreed to meet the next day at his barn to show me paintings by the late Ogunquit artist Norman West. I asked him to preselect work that best represented West to consider for my personal collection. He had known West and his work for years. Besides, I knew that DeWitt had an incomparable eye for assessing the uniqueness and that certain je ne sais quoi quality an original work of art possesses.

Last year, I served as interim director and curator of the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. I had known DeWitt for years, but got to know him on a much deeper level during my time there. He visited frequently both by invitation and to just drop by. He shared his knowledge and history of the museum, as he knew it, with an unmatched perspective and insight as its former curator and then associate director under its founder, Henry Strater, from 1965 to 1976.

DeWitt and Strater made frequent trips to New York City to buy art for the collection, and his knowledge of works in the collection and how it evolved was important in planning the next season’s exhibitions. It was an immense benefit to be able to draw upon his knowledge when I was organizing the Traditions and Excellence exhibition, primarily around works created during the years of WWI (1914-18).

Throughout last year I connected with DeWitt about other museum business, soliciting his expertise on evaluating and appraising prospective gifts for acquisition. On his last visit to the museum, when I was wrapping up, I introduced him to Michael Mansfield, the museum’s newly hired executive director.

DeWitt was confident, self-aware, affable, and warm. He was exclusively casual in appearance, dressed oft in dark, non-descript sweatshirts and pants, fingerless gloves, and comfortable shoes. He looked like he might have just stepped away from his easel or printing press. He had a presence that reminded me of both a king and a big brother.

He was someone totally in charge and comfortable with their authority while congenial and generous with their knowledge and time.

Of our visits in the museum, I mostly enjoyed walking with him while looking at the current exhibits on loan or from the collection. I had invited him to cocurate the Ernest Hemingway and Henry Strater exhibit as well as Traditions and Excellence.

During those talks DeWitt shared much about his own art, how he got into abstract art, and his life in relation to the history and culture of the arts scene in Ogunquit. Ogunquit is imbued with an ethos embodied in the art and life of DeWitt Hardy. Ogunquit has been an artists’ colony for more than a century and has always been welcoming to artists and creatives. That spirit, his spirit, will live on at the Barn Gallery.

Ogunquit has experienced other significant losses of late, such as the passing of art patron Mary-Leigh Smart in January and now, just as I write, the passing of DeWitt's longtime friend and fellow Maine painter George Burk on July 19, which in tandem with DeWitt’s death has stolen my breath away, leaving me with a huge aching knot in my chest. The morning that I got word about DeWitt’s death, I went over to the Barn Gallery and bought a small watercolor of his and another by his protégé, Russel Whitten. In a week, I’ll join Pat Hardy; George’s wife, Dadée Burk; and DeWitt’s wife, Deirdre Williams, with family and friends to honor DeWitt and George at a bonfire to raise a toast to two of Maine’s finest kind.

A memorial show is planned at the Barn Gallery next year for DeWitt Hardy and George Burk. The Bates College Museum of Art will also host a retrospective of DeWitt Hardy’s work in 2019, curated by Robert Flynn Johnson.

Andres A. Verzosa is an independent curator and writer whose heart is in Maine.

We have since moved to outside Raleigh, North Carolina, but we still come home to Oakland because we have a year-round home on the lake, and our families are still in Maine. We love the weather in North Carolina, but our hearts will always be in Maine. Your magazine brings back all the memories of Maine.

ROB BRAMHALL ARCHITECTS has designed the new DREAM MAKER LODGE at SUNDAY RIVER, a four-floor contemporary mountain residence of 29 condominiums situated along Dream Maker Trail on the resort’s North Peak. The rustic slopeside units cultivate a sense of community, as they share a lounge area with a fireplace, an exterior patio, and an outdoor hot tub.

Kim Deetjen of TRUEXCULLINS ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN recently led the renovation of the PORTLAND HARBOR HOTEL. Inspired by the concept of a sea captain’s home, the firm added a sitting area overlooking Fore Street to visually connect the lobby to its seaside location. The redesign also emphasizes local artisans, featuring custom nautical-flag wall hangings by ANGELA ADAMS, graphic pillows by ERIN FLETT, and windjammer photographs by JIM DUGAN. Shared lounges on guest room levels include THOS. MOSER furniture and COMPANY C carpets.

GO LOGIC has launched GO HOME, a new line of highly insulated prefabricated homes. Ranging from 600 to 2,500 square feet, the plans offer options for cabinetry and hardware, along with various exterior and interior custom finishes.

PHTOTS FROM TOP: Jim Westphalen, Josh Gerritsen, Laura Douglas

Angela Adams and Sherwood Hamill, the design team behind ANGELA ADAMS, recently launched a furniture and area rug collection called Inner Nature that celebrates individuality and authenticity. New furniture pieces include a sideboard, table, and barstool in a variety of finishes, such as the made-to-order Tula tasting table; eight new rug designs including the Spock area rug, which reinvents the traditional argyle pattern and comes in mossy green, scarlet, and gray-blue.

Twenty-five Chinese ink paintings by the late interior designer and artist CHRISTINE MACLIN will be on view at the Charles Thomas Gallery at MAINE COLLEGE OF ART (MECA) from September 20 through October 25.

Maclin, who owned Portland’s Maclin Design, studied Chinese brush painting at MECA under the instruction of art history professor Dr. Gan Xu.

Q+A with Stew MacLehose and Dan Kolbert on the performance of a well-insulated roof

When we visited Stew MacLehose’s house in 2011, it was among the first LEED Platinum homes in Maine. Designed by Kaplan Thompson Architects and built by Dan Kolbert of Kolbert Building, it now includes a recently added attic studio (see page XX). The home's tight, double-thick wall construction, triple-glazed windows, and solar array set the standard for Kaplan Thompson’s BrightBuilt Home modular designs, and after six years it’s still a prime example of the benefits of a tight, well-insulated roof.

where color lives

Q. WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROOF?

:

KOLBERT With this house, we developed an insulation system we’ve used since on both new and old houses. We sized the rafters for what we needed structurally (twoby-eights) and added plywood nailed to a thin strip of two-by material to create a 4-inch space below the rafters. This helped us get 14 inches of insulation (dense-packed cellulose) with an R-value of over R-50. The insulation in the 4-inch space creates a “thermal break” so that no wood runs continuously from the interior to the cold underside of the roof. This significantly reduces heat loss and condensation.

Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTION?

:

KOLBERT Besides the low cost for heating and a very quiet house, a well-insulated and air-sealed roof also minimizes the stack effect, where hot air rising through the upper floors draws in cold air from the lower floors. Even though the only heat source in the house comes from radiant tubes running under the first-floor slab, the third-floor attic is typically within five degrees of the first-floor temperature. With the redesign to use the attic for a studio, we only needed to add a small amount of supplemental heat.

Q. WHAT ARE THE ANNUAL UTILITY COSTS?

:

MACLEHOSE Average annual costs for the approximately 2,200-square-foot home are $780 for electricity (supplemented by a 5-kilowatt solar array) and $855 for propane, for the gas range and fireplace. The radiant floor heating and domestic hot water run off an 88-tube solar thermal collector, which is supplemented by an ondemand electric hot water heater.

PILING ON THE PATTERN

T

he secret behind getting this bedroom look? Pattern—and lots of it. Featured in Hotel Chic at Home by Sara Bliss (The Monacelli Press, 2016), a room designed by Kit Kemp at London’s Ham Yard Hotel boldly mixes color and dazzling prints.

A dark grasscloth wallcovering creates a neutral backdrop while adding texture, as does the bed’s ivory matelassé cotton throw. Pattern is injected by the upholstered headboard—both the focal point of the room and a comfortable place to lean while reading or relaxing in bed—as well as the orange and pink sheer window treatments. With or without flowers, a vase by Japanese potter Hanako Nakazato inser ts handmade warmth, and a hot pink pillow adds pop for a space that’s cozy but excites the eye, too. MH+D

In a London hotel room, the headboard and pink pillow are in fabrics from designer Kit Kemp’s collection for Chelsea Textiles.

The answer lies in how architects shape a curated experience to the specific needs of an individual client,” says Kevin Moquin, who has an eponymous architecture firm in Portland. MH+D asks Moquin to tell us more.

Q. A.

How does architecture affect one’s well-being?

Only part of the task of designing a home involves arranging elements that are measurable. Is there enough square feet for this living room, enough headroom for this stair, enough glass for this view? Architects consider these elements when discussing functionality, but there is another layer of thought that goes into how design decisions make us feel and also how we react to them on a subconscious level. Our perception of a space extends beyond its calculated boundaries. Our bodies and senses react to the spaces around us in ways that are indifferent to the tape measure and calculator. Either by intention or by accident, design has a subconscious affect on our mood, disposition, and comfort.

Q. A.

What about one’s perception of time?

Buildings can call to our attention the course of a year, the arc of the sun, and the passage of a day. I can arrange a bedroom so clients can wake with the sun if they are early risers, or be shielded from it if they prefer to sleep in. This offers a connection to unmechanized time, displayed not as the hands of a clock or the digits on a screen, but by the visible passage of changing light and shadow in our room. That relationship with a time frame beyond the current moment offers a comfort to the rigors of daily life. The materials architects choose to build with can also tell a story about the longer passage of time. Weathering shingles proudly display the effect of years, while clapboards painted to defy the elements hint at timelessness. The patina on a brass doorknob from the touch of a hand over the years and a worn layer of paint on a floor that exposes the former color beneath it are both enriching ways to experience time’s passage.

Q. A.

What other subconscious aspects are influenced by architecture?

Windows that provide a view out to the landscape, and outdoor living spaces, which connect us to green surroundings, satisfy a deep-rooted desire to be connected to the natural world.

Moving water or swaying branches passively engage our attention but do not demand it. Natural environments are calming and provide an opportunity to replenish our mental resources. Your home can actively contribute to your restfulness. The shapes we use in our spaces impact us subconsciously. Forms can be aggressive and push us away, or they can be receptive and draw us in. A hallway that is too narrow will make you want to pass through it quickly, while an alcove or window seat can be a welcoming eddy that offers the opportunity to pause. We feel less vulnerable if our bed is located in a protected space.

Q. A.

Can you give us an example of how this comes into play in your current work?

These considerations of the subconscious are applicable beyond any notion of style. My own work is stylistically broad. I work in the manner that best fits my client’s tastes and lifestyle, making design decisions with the consideration of possible subconscious experiences. In a current project for a small island cottage, I designed a bathhouse a few steps away from the main cottage. There is a roof that provides shelter so the client won’t get drenched in the rain.

This exterior passage could be seen as an inconvenience, but it is truly an experience that connects you to where you are in the world at that unique moment in time. You have the sounds and movement of the breeze in the trees, the smells of the sea, and the stars at night. It is an opportunity to draw the client’s attention back to the things that are unique to that specific place, which initially sparked the desire to create a piece of architecture there. MH+D

All except one of the 17 home sites at Tidewater Landing will have a water view, which includes the Webhannet River, Wells Harbor, and the open Atlantic.

F

rom the top of the gently sloping hill at Tidewater Landing in Wells, the view extends over the Webhannet River to Wells Harbor and beyond to the open Atlantic. It’s a classic southern Maine vista—marsh, water, beach, and sky—and until recently, it belonged to a single home. “Driving by all these years, I never knew this was back here,” says co-owner Larry Duell of Father and Son Builders, who bought the property in 2014 from the former owner’s family. “I saw the view and said, ‘Oh goodness.’ There’s no land like this left in Wells.”

Tidewater Landing now has 17 home sites arranged around a curving road that ends in a cul-de-sac at the bottom of a hill. Beyond lies open space, which will eventually include a path offering access to the river for kayaks and canoes. All except one of the custom homes will have a water view. “As the builder and developer, I’m able to tell people where their house has to go so

I can protect the views for the people behind them,” says Duell.

The project is the first development for Father and Son Builders, which was launched by Larry’s father, Lyle, in 1984. A Church of Christ minister, Lyle had moved his family from upstate New York to New Hampshire to serve at a church there. “I decided I’d put up a modular home to live in, and try to sell a few,” Lyle says, noting that his contract with the church allowed him to take on a part-time job. “In ’84 I sold eight homes—I had never built a house in my life before—and I think the next year we sold 26.” According to his son, the decision to go into business was largely financial. “He realized you can’t put two kids through college on a minister’s salary,” Larry says.

The Duells established an office in Lebanon, just a few miles from the New Hampshire border yet close to the southern Maine communities of Sanford and

This home at Tidewater Landing was designed

by Kennebunk River Architects, one of the local architects recommended by Larry for homes in the development. “With the elevation, the contours, and the views, they really have to be custom designed,” he says.

Berwick. The company soon moved from modular homes into custom building. “In ’87 or ’88 we built close to 50. On our original stationery, we had ‘From castles to caves,’” Lyle says, although most were modestly sized houses, he adds.

Larry left New England for Tennessee, graduating from Lipscomb University in 1990 with a degree in finance and with a graduate degree in architecture from the University of Tennessee three years later. He returned to Maine and joined his father in the business, married, and had a son.

Three years ago, Lyle retired from building while continuing to serve in the church. He wrote two religious books and started a blog. Then Larry’s wife, Stephanie, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, a very aggressive form of the disease. She passed away in May of 2016 at 36 years old. “I took eight months off to be with my son, and my dad came out of retirement,” Larry says. “He’s never gone back.”

Now Lyle works out of the Lebanon office while Larry is in Wells, overseeing Tidewater Landing and sites elsewhere on the coast. “My dad takes care of all of our inland homes, which are mostly entry level—small ranches, Capes, and colonials,” says Larry. For the homes at Tidewater Landing, Larry has a list of architects he recommends, including Kennebunk River Architects, Lindsey Architects, and William Ross Design. “Up until a year and a half ago—when we started building here—I did 95 percent of our house plans, but now I just don’t have time anymore,” he says.

Tidewater Landing’s bylaws specify that homes have to be either shingle-style or Maine cottage–style, and Larry discourages potential buyers from building with stock plans. “With the elevation, the contours, and the views, they really have to be custom designed,” he says. “The subdivision requirements are pretty strict. We don’t allow any vinyl siding or vinyl windows. Every home here so far has gone with cedar shakes.” The company has recently hired a project manager, allowing Larry to concentrate on sales and marketing. “In summertime, on a weekend, I’ll talk to 100 people here; that’s what I like to do,” he says.

In the 1980s Father and Son Builders had as many as 30 employees, but when the recession hit at the end of that decade, they had to let most of them go. “We actually had our own foundation crew, our own foundation forms, and trucks—we did everything,” says Larry. “I could just see my dad getting grayer and grayer. Now, we sub everything out and it’s much easier.” Most of the subcontractors they use, however, have worked with the company for years, and the loyalty works both ways, he says. “I don’t shop bids. If a guy has been with me for 15 years and he gives me a price, I know that’s the best price he can give me, and I’m not going to go out and look for a better one.”

Larry is active in local and national trade associations, having served as the state president of the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Maine. “I’m very involved in housing advocacy, everything from codes to environmental policy,” he says. He sits on the board of directors of the National Association of Home Builders and the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Maine, working with both groups to help launch an apprenticeship program for residential carpenters, which was approved by the Maine Department of Labor last spring. Designed to address the skilled labor shortage, the program will provide students who finish a mandated course of study at a technical high school with paid on-the-job training; some of the cost will be reimbursed by the state.

Both avid outdoorsmen, Larry and Lyle have together climbed mountains around the world, including Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Pico de Orizaba in Mexico. For Larry, those activities are now on hold as he runs his business and raises his son, who he’s hoping will inherit his love of the outdoors. His construction industry activism is also tied to his future plans; just as he wants to preserve the views at Tidewater Landing for current and future residents, he’d like his son to carry on the family’s homebuilding legacy. “He’s a very good designer on Minecraft,” Larry says with a smile. Perhaps one day, Father and Son Builders will include the next generation of Duells. MH+D

The Cranberry Isles

T

he Cranberry Isles are an archipelago of five islands off the southeastern shore of Mount Desert Island, named for the wild cranberries that grow there in the fall. Great Cranberry and Little Cranberry (also called Islesford) are the largest of the group and the only ones with year-round residents, most of whom make a living lobstering, boat building, or doing carpentry. Sutton, Baker, and Bear Islands are inhabited only in the summer, and most of Baker is part of Acadia National Park.

“The whole place is one big family,” says Great Cranberry native Norman Sanborn. “I’ll go away for two or three days and leave my keys in my truck; if someone needs to borrow it, they can go ahead.”

He and his wife, Kelly, are raising their two daughters, ages 11 and 9, on the island. “They’re free-range kids,” he says. “Everybody knows them, and they’ve got the entire island as their playground.”

MHD NEW SEPT 17_FINAL_2.indd 63

There are a few boats that offer transportation to the Cranberries, but the most popular, and the only year-round option, is the Beal and Bunker Mail Boat and Ferry, which makes the 30-minute crossing from Northeast Harbor to Great Cranberry and Islesford.

There are no hotels or bed-andbreakfast accommodations on any of the islands, but the short boat ride allows for an easy daytrip.

On Great Cranberry, visitors can wander along several public trails or take advantage of the Cranberry Explorer, a seven-passenger golf cart that offers free shuttle service to popular spots around the island.

On Islesford, the Islesford Dock Restaurant and Gallery is a favorite seasonal restaurant of Seal Harbor summer resident Martha Stewart, who arrives on her Hinckley picnic boat.

Morning commuters (above) catch up on the news as they head for the mainland on the Beal and Bunker Mail Boat and Ferry, the only yearround ferry service between the mainland and the Cranberry Isles. David Bunker (below), is the friendly and knowledgeable captain of the mail boat and ferry, which has served the islands since 1952.

After its longtime owners decided to retire, the iconic Islesford Dock Restaurant and Gallery (above) on Little Cranberry (also known as Islesford) was purchased earlier this year by Michael Boland, co-owner of Havana in Bar Harbor, and Northeast Harbor seasonal resident Mitchell Rales. “So many people from all over the world have enjoyed the Islesford Dock over the years that to let it close up seemed somehow just wrong,” says Boland. “We grow a good amount of our own food right behind the restaurant in our large greenhouse, source all of the lobsters from the coop next door, and otherwise follow a fairly strict local farm/sea-to-table program. Put that on top of one of the most amazing sunset spots on the coast of Maine—looking back over the mountains of Mount Desert Island— and you have a pretty special place to dine.”

HIGH NOTE Perched on the side of a hill, a western Maine home mixes styles, eras, and influences for a look that’s truly one-of-a-kind

by Jen DeRose >>> Photography by Irvin Serrano

A home in western Maine designed and built by Jared Damon of Damon Builders is located 24 miles from Mount Washington in New Hampshire, which has the highest sustained wind on record in the northern hemisphere. Despite that brutal weather, Damon built the energy-efficient home—thanks to spray-foam insulation, high-quality Marvin windows, and a geothermal system—over the course of two winters.

own a dirt road and a short switchback driveway, a western Maine house is gently cradled in the picturesque notch of a large hill. Stones found on the property—not cut and laid, but rather rotated to a flat side and situated back into the earth—provide the hardscaping, while a trio of torches, their flames spiraling upward, herald one’s arrival. It’s a spot that’s both comfortable and inviting, yet that also possesses a sense of mystique and solitude: there’s a miles-long western view to New Hampshire’s White Mountains, including Mount Washington, Mount Kearsarge, and the Kancamagus—but there’s nary a house, turbine, or cell tower in sight.

“Our design criteria was to make it fit the land,” says Jared Damon of Mechanic Falls’s Damon Builders, who did the design-build. Noting that the homeowners didn’t want to disturb the natural setting any more than necessary, there was no blasting; instead, the house was built slab on grade.

That sensitivity to surroundings and thoughtful approach carried over to every design detail both large and small, with the wife mostly handling the furnishings, fabrics, and finishes and the husband overseeing the systems and structures.

Immediately upon entering the house, that personalized approach is apparent in the design of the custom wrought-iron doors, which have an oval intersecting dramatic squares and rectangles. “We call it ‘Frank Lloyd Wright meets Native American Thunderbird,’” says the husband. In the back of the space, above a door that leads to a patio, is a wine rack with a sliding wood ladder and, hanging above that, a triptych of the tree of life that the wife fashioned from leftover wires and scrap barn wood.

In the center of the room, dozens of crystal LED lights cascade down an open spiral staircase. “It’s like walking up through an Aurora Borealis,” says the husband.

Unique lighting also appears off the foyer in the home office, from which the couple works on their research and product development company.

There, a pair of dome pendants, which are matte black on the exterior of the canopy but feature mathematical formulas and equations on the underside, hangs above a small island. But perhaps the home’s most spectacular lighting is found in the second-floor turret. La Estrella Room, as named by the couple’s bilingual twin grandsons, is outfitted with a window-height octagonal custom mattress that gives it a Moroccan vibe. Look up, and twinkling on the ceiling are 300 fiber-optic stars and four

While the wife had originally visited a big-box store for the design of the kitchen (above), she couldn’t seem to get across how she wanted the space. A visit to Kitchen Cove Cabinetry and Design changed that. “They revamped it, and I fell in love,” she says. The bistro-height tabletop is on pegs so that it can easily be removed to clean underneath. The tray ceiling has LED rope lighting. “At night, if you get up to get a snack or water, this room just glows,” says the husband.

The ceiling in the living area (opposite) is 34 feet high.

Spanish tile accents recessed into the face of the chimney visually break up its verticality.

There are no skylights in the house; instead, upper picture windows provide ample sunshine to both the first and second floors. “It’s not unusual for us to be sitting on the living room sofa and watching birds soaring,” says the husband.

“I had a magazine clipping of the wine rack (opposite)—in fact, I had a book of ideas, by the time Jared and I sat down, of everything I’d ever wanted,” says the wife. “We were able to incorporate almost all of them.” The custom wroughtiron door leads to the back patio.

“It’s a home (above) that’s designed to be used and celebrate the nature that it sits in,” says the wife.

constellations, including Orion. “That took some engineering,” notes the husband.

Other creative feats that involved a bit of “design judo,” as the husband refers to Damon’s work, include incorporating several salvaged architectural elements. An antique window from a mining camp, picked up on a trip to Mexico, was outfitted with a custom Marvin window and now serves as a pass-through on a shelving unit between the porch and living area. In the powder room, a dresser that had been the wife’s changing table as a baby was refashioned as the vanity, and in the upstairs guest bathroom, a pair of matching end tables, originally intended for the guest bedroom, were transformed into dual sink vanities.

While the upstairs guest suite feels private and tucked away, the central gathering space is the kitchen. The couple has four grown children, three of whom live locally. “We have a big family, so we wanted places that everybody could be,” says the wife. “And we have too many kids for a formal dining room.” Instead, Kitchen Cove Cabinetry and Design came up with the idea for a central, bistro-height table. “It gives you the ability to see the countertops but also the view out the windows,” the husband says. The kitchen layout is a testament to the couple’s focus on savvy

organization, with distinct coffee, baking, and pizza stations. (The latter has a cutout in the countertop for quickly sweeping off excess flour. “We do a lot of pizza nights,” says the wife. “Guilty as charged.”) While a lot of the kitchen design is functional, there are still plenty of flourishes. Perhaps the most unique is the decorative aspect of the speed oven. Not happy with the standard appliance finishes, the wife commissioned artist Jewel Clark to etch hot-air balloons and even a depiction of the couple’s dog into the metal surround. “We weren’t sure if it was going to work,” says the wife. “And we didn’t have anything to practice on, but we lucked out.” Indeed, the appliance now appears almost like a piece of artwork hung on the wall.

Elsewhere in the house, artwork includes sentimental pieces, such as ceramics made by the children displayed on the living area shelving and the vintage ski paraphernalia that hangs in the pantry. The wife’s grandfather, an early member of the Dartmouth Outing Club, was one of the first to ski Tuckerman Ravine in New Hampshire, and a pair of his long, thin wooden skis, a 1914 map, and a handbell from the stage coach he rode in are all mounted on the wall.

Team and also coached at Gould Academy in Bethel.) From there in the pantry, you can look through the length of the entire home to see the very mountain the wife’s grandfather had once skied. “There’s nothing between us and the Mount Washington weather station 24 miles away in a straight line,” says the husband.

That jaw-dropping view of the mountains, visible from nearly every room, is thanks to what is known as “the correction,” formerly a covered deck and now an interior seating area marked by a curved wall of windows that runs along the home’s western-facing side. As the living area has a soaring 34-foot ceiling, the space’s original, smaller footprint made it feel “like a racquetball court,” recalls the wife. Realizing the mistake during its construction, the wife and the husband called Damon at nine-thirty on a Sunday night to ask that the deck be incorporated into the space. “It was a major change,” says Damon. “I had to bring the HVAC, concrete, and roofing companies back, and I had to figure out how to reuse the windows that were already ordered—but it was absolutely necessary, and we all worked together.” Now the home’s layout seems to frame the panoramic view, drawing visitors further inside to fully immerse themselves in the mountain landscape. It is one of the couple’s favorite elements.

Also open to the view is the owners’ suite, which can be partitioned off thanks to nesting paneled doors, a concept inspired by shoji screens after a trip to Japan. The owners’ bathroom, too, takes its cues from Japanese bathing culture in that the whole bathroom is a wet space. The entire room, from the ceiling to the floor, is covered in tile from Distinctive Tile and Design, and a shower with body sprays—and even lights—is in the center of the room. “The grandkids think they’re in seventh heaven when they’re in here,” the wife says.

That sense of whimsy, personalization, and focus on family speaks to the house’s design as a whole. Damon acknowledges that, throughout the project, he received “the occasional raised eyebrow.” After all, who buys a new appliance only to scratch it up? But in the end, Damon’s ability to fulfill the homeowners’ dreams was clearly worth it. Once the couple had moved in, they held an open house for everyone who had been involved in the project as well as their families. “The entire team was so proud when they came to see it finished,” recalls Damon. “I remember telling people, more than once, ‘”It’s going to be beautiful.’

Seeing the finished house, they realized that vision.” MH+D

The rug in the upstairs guest bath (above) is from Mougalian Rugs, as are all the rugs throughout the home.

Although the vanities were originally intended as nightstands, Damon was able to repurpose them by matching the wood.

A salvaged window from a Mexican mining camp connects the living room to the covered porch (opposite).

On the living room built-in, the wife displays family souvenirs, ceramics, and mementos, such as a glass from Air Force One that her dad used when he worked for the White House.

Designed by Phil Kaplan of Kaplan Thompson Architects and built by Dan Kolbert of Kolbert Building, this home in Falmouth is compact, eco-friendly, and cleverly sited to take advantage of the sweeping views of the Presumpscot River. The solar panels were installed by ReVision Energy of Portland.

AT the top of a narrow staircase, in a sunny room with slanted ceilings overlooking the Presumpscot River, stained glass artist Laura Fuller is examining a piece of blue glass.

She picks it up and lets it catch the light for a moment before placing it back down on a piece of white paper, where it joins with cutglass pieces and fragments of shell to form an intricate pattern of blossoms. Someday soon, Fuller will fuse these many angled objects, welding them into a glimmering, prismatic window inspired, as she explains, by the seven chakras. But for now, she places the cobalt glass back in place and slides the pieces out of sight into her custom-built cabinet.

“I sometimes still can’t believe this is my studio,” she says as she looks out the window at the fields of marshy grasses that unfold to the west. “It’s perfect for me.”

Before, the space served very different purposes. It was first a barebones office, then a rec room, complete with a Ping-Pong table and unassuming painted plywood floors. It wasn’t until 2015 that Fuller and her husband, Stew MacLehose, decided to renovate this space

and turn it into the utilitarian-yet-inspired studio that it is today.

The story of this house on the river begins 12 years ago, when MacLehose and his then-wife Kathy Hayden approached their good friend, architect Phil Kaplan of Kaplan Thompson Architects in Portland, about a potential project. “They had this incredible piece of land in Falmouth, and they wanted to build a home there,” Kaplan recalls, remembering the one-acre lot and how it sloped gently down toward the yellow marshes and silver inlets of the coastal estuary. From their casual conversations, MacLehose knew quite a lot about Kaplan’s work. He knew about Kaplan’s quest to build highly functional, energy-efficient, eco-friendly homes, and MacLehose wanted his new house to perform on that level, too. “Stew and Kathy were also interested in making something that was clean and thoughtful—nothing showy at all,” Kaplan explains. “All of us involved wanted this house to stand the test of time, to be strong and modest, and to complement the simplicity and elegance of the land.”

Artist Laura Fuller and librarian Stew MacLehose have amassed a wide collection of art over the years. In the kitchen (opposite), they have pieces by local artists including Paul Brahms, Jean Pilk, Johanna Moore, Mary Harrington, Amy Ray, Carolyn Deininger, and Judy Glickman Lauder.

Fuller works on an ocean-inspired chandelier that will soon be on display at K Colette in Portland.

The owners’ bedroom features artwork by William Eric Brown (left), Amy Ray (center), and Carter Scattergood (above the bed).

Fuller’s third-floor studio (opposite) features tile from Capozza Tile and Floor Covering Center designed to look like wood boards. “I tested every kind of surface I could think of, from cork to wood, and the only one that didn’t catch glass shards was tile,” explains Fuller. “I needed a surface I could clean easily, and this wood-like tile fit perfectly.”

The home’s form was inspired by the shape of a cube (above), which helps make it efficient to heat.

The living room is separated from the dining room by two-way shelving (opposite) that provides some privacy while offering ample space to display Fuller’s art. The painting on the wall is a MacLehose family heirloom. The rug in the hallway is by Angela Adams.

Fortunately, as far as floor plans and volume go, a home designed as a cube is extremely energy efficient to heat—and the shape also happened to suit MacLehose and Hayden’s aesthetic sense to a T. The house packs in a living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor; three bedrooms on the second floor; and an artist’s studio on the third floor, plus a rustic porch is attached to the dining room by a screened outdoor hallway. All these rooms (plus three and a half baths) come in at 2,200 square feet, thanks to the space- and energysaving design. “The ideal form for a high-performing home is a cube, and that’s essentially what we built—a cube with a pitched roof,” Kaplan explains. (Not only does the pitched roof help this contemporary-style house fit in better with its colonial-style neighbors, but it also allows snowfall to slide off during intense winters.) “With this design, we were looking at optimization on all counts, including affordability, buildability, energy efficiency, and—in the back of my mind—replicability.

If we could pull it off here, it could be a precedent for moving forward,” Kaplan says.

Builder Dan Kolbert of Kolbert Building in Portland was brought on early in the process to help navigate the tricky process of creating a high-performing, low-cost home in a particularly humid part of Maine. “We found that the basic idea of the double walls with the dense-packed cellulose insulation, as well as the way we did the insulated pitched roof,

turned out to be the best way to go about making a highperformance house,” Kolbert says. The roof was particularly tricky, since often homes lose heat through the rafters, which serve as conduits carrying warmth from the inside of the house to the outside world. “The technical term for that is ‘thermal bridge’—something that is bridging your insulation and thus short-circuiting it,” Kolbert explains. To get around this issue, Kolbert and Kaplan came up with a system that imposes a thermal break by creating a gap between the timbers that frame the house and the timbers that frame the roof. One of the benefits of this particular building technique is that it created a highly usable upstairs space. Since they decided to build the house on a concrete slab in order to provide radiant floor heating, the home lacks a basement, so fortunately the space they lost below ground could be gained back above.

For a few years, this third-floor space went unused, save for the few occasions when the couple’s nephews came to visit and the teenagers would crash on the floor. But as the family shifted shape, the house changed, too. In 2015 MacLehose and Fuller decided to renovate the house, focusing mainly on the third floor. “We saw the opportunity to turn the space into a place where Laura could work,” says Kaplan. “Phil was really amazing at planning out views and making sure I got as much light as I need,” says Fuller. As an artist, Fuller is highly sensitive to the colors around her. “You won’t see much red

in the house for that reason,” she says. “Once a color permeates my brain, I become hyper-focused on it, and it comes out in my work. Having big windows is really perfect for me, because nature is my favorite palette.” In order to make the third floor into a work space, Kolbert extended the plumbing system, installed both a half bathroom and a work sink, and created a shelving system for Fuller’s many glass pieces. While the bathroom sink is a piece of art in itself—it’s a delicately painted ceramic oyster shell, created by Yarmouth-based artist Alison Evans of Ae Ceramics—the soapstone farmhouse work sink is sturdy enough to handle the many fragments of glass, metal, and stone that Fuller incorporates in her unique stained glass pieces. “I don’t use any lead in my pieces, but I needed a space to wash them off when they’re completed,” she explains. “You wouldn’t want the materials I use floating around in your bathtub.”

Fuller’s art is visible throughout the house, making a particular impact downstairs. A large stained glass window hangs in the kitchen, and other pieces sit on the shelves that separate the living space from the dining area. The many spacious triple-glazed and doublepaned windows create natural frames for her art. “Phil chose the orientation of the house,” says MacLehose.

“His primary concern was getting optimal solar gain, but he also did a fantastic job placing the windows so that we have views of the water and views of the garden.” In

MHD NEW SEPT 17_FINAL_2.indd 98

the dining area, Kaplan decided to extend the window all the way up to the ceiling. He notes that there is no head casing—the wide strip of trim that often appears on the top of a window under the crown moulding— which contributes to the streamlined feel. “The goal was to make that space feel as open as possible and larger than it actually is,” he says. All the windows in the house, as well as the countertops, are trimmed with layers of Baltic birch plywood, subtle stripes of lightly colored wood that provide a visual echo in each room, tying the overall aesthetic together.

Fuller and MacLehose’s LEED Platinum–certified home has inspired many similar projects, all with that distinctive cubic shape, steep pitched roof, shadecreating overhangs, and open floor plans. While some homeowners may balk at having their space replicated across the country, MacLehose doesn’t mind at all. “This project was totally ego-free,” says Kaplan. “MacLehose wanted to build something elemental and universal— something that would appeal to many people. Although I hesitate to use the word timeless—I don’t know if there is such a thing—I do think the closer you get to simplicity, the closer you get to timelessness.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 140.

In a Pine Point Beach home designed by Kennebunk River Architects, built by Douston Construction, and decorated

by Hurlbutt Designs, the arch of a bowed ceiling that marks the transition from the living to dining room is repeated in the mullion of the far window. To the right, a wine refrigerator and pull-out refrigerator drawers are incorporated into the wall. Made of recycled plastic, the rug is from Sweden and can be taken outside for cleaning with a garden hose. To extend the number of people who can be entertained, the porch (which functions as an extension of the main level) has two sitting areas.

The outdoor barbecue consists of custom stainless-steel cabinetry with a granite top.

hen Louise Jean was growing up in Lewiston, summer weekends were all about getting to the water.

Her family regularly went to lakes, but Old Orchard was the “real treat” of the season, she says, what with the amusement rides and the beach. Life took Louise far from the beach, however. Shortly before graduating from college, she married her high school sweetheart, Ray Jean, and the two traveled for his work. “Those were the days when they moved you around a lot,” Ray says of his career in a diversified industrial company. “Taking on varied assignments put me on the fast track and took us to cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Philadelphia.” Eventually, the Jeans moved to Houston, where Ray was the CEO for Quanex Building Products. The Jeans didn’t mind moving so frequently—in fact, they liked it—though the coast was still in the back of their minds. With retirement on the horizon, Florida beckoned, but so did Maine, which still felt like home.

In 2001, in Maine for Louise’s 40th high school reunion—“Saint Dominic’s, rah, rah,” says Louise—the couple saw a “teardown” on Pine Point, the northern end of the beach

that runs from Scarborough all the way to Old Orchard. With the help of Salmon Falls Architecture in Biddeford, Douston Construction in Arundel, and an interior designer friend from Atlanta, the Jeans built new. For ten years, they enjoyed their home, and then they moved. Next door. The adjacent lot had become available, and the Jeans again wanted to build a new house designed by Salmon Falls and built by Douston. Why do it all over in virtually the same location and with most of the same people, given they were so happy with the architect, builder, and interior designer in the first place?

Largely because their family had grown over time. Their three children now had seven of their own, and the Jeans wanted a bigger, less formal house, “a beach house with refinement,” as Louise puts it. This time around, though, they brought in a local interior designer whom they greatly admired: Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs in Kennebunk, who collaborated with Annie Detterman—then of Hurlbutt Designs, now of Anniebells Interiors in Kennebunk—on the project. Douston was once again the builder, and the house was designed by Michael Bedell and Rob Freedman, working with Paul Gosselin and Salmon Falls Architecture. (Now Bedell

The blue palette throughout the house is echoed in the kitchen’s blue pearl granite countertop (above) from Blue Rock of Maine and the handmade nautical backsplash tiles and border.

An opening to the right leads to an L-shaped pantry.

The house (opposite) is filled with windows that maximize ocean views from the great room and dining room on the main floor, and the extended owners’ bedroom with sitting area and bath on the third. Piping plovers frequent the dune grass.

Interior designer Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs used a navy and white palette for the living room. The custom rug is from Stark, and the lamp with the navy shade is from Bradburn Home and was designed by Barclay Butera. Hurlbutt found the antique ship’s wheel in her travels and repeated the shape on the sofa pillows. She also sourced a black Ming Dynasty-style coffee table and had it painted white and edged with navy.

The colors of the barrel-ceilinged owners’ bedroom (above) are light and restful, and the room is designed for electric blinds with darkening shades that retreat into the trim above the window. (The lighting system is designed so the Jeans can turn off all the home’s lights from their bedroom.) The chairs can swivel to face the room or the ocean.

The street side of the house (opposite, top) is detailed with two shades of paint (a darker color appears on the decorative shingles under the gables), partial copper roofs, an array of square windows that flood the staircase with light, and a bump-out bay that breaks up the building mass while forming a drip edge that helps shield the garage from sheeting rainwater.

Grays and browns were used in the bunk room (opposite, bottom) with beadboard walls, recessed wall cubbies, and cherry-stained teak trim. A nautical scene is painted on the glass lamp, which Ray and Louise Jean brought from their previous house, and complements the room’s mounted oars and oceaninspired pillow and chair fabric.

and Freedman are partners in Kennebunk River Architects in Wells.)

The new house is shingle-style with a nautically themed interior. The oceanside length of the house is filled, corner to corner, with windows, so upon entering, the view is across a bright, navy and white living room to “50 feet of glass to the Atlantic,” says builder Shawn Douston. “You feel like you are almost outdoors.”

This first room establishes the ornamentation and palette used throughout the house. There are blues edged in whites or vice versa, such as a black Ming Dynasty–style coffee table that Hurlbutt had painted white then edged in blue, as well as sofas and pillows with contrasting piping and a blue custom Stark carpet with a white pattern and border. An antique ship’s wheel that Hurlbutt found in her travels hangs on a wall and is echoed in the pillow fabric’s motif. References to boats and the ocean are found on fabrics, wallpapers, paintings, and details throughout the house. The central staircase, for instance, has a lighthouse-shaped newel. The powder room’s wallpaper suggests a boatbuilder’s blueprints. A pair of three-tiered lamp bases are in the form of sea urchins. “If I feel strongly about something, Louise [Hurlbutt] will encourage me, as long as it works,” Louise [Jean] says.

That guests are a big focus of the Jeans’ life is apparent from the house’s emphasis on feeding,

sleeping, and entertaining a crowd. The living room flows into a dining room with an adjacent kitchen and porch, so the Jeans can seat up to 22 for dinner or a cookout. Louise likes Ray “out of my way,” when she cooks, so the bar area— making drinks is Ray’s specialty—is located in the living room, while a wine refrigerator and pull-out refrigerater drawers are tucked into the paneled arched entry into the dining room.

The kitchen itself, as well as an L-shaped pantry, is full of creative cabinetry from Dina Lennon of Sylco Cabinetry, who designed them with the Jeans’ entertaining habits, personal tastes, and cooking styles in mind. In addition to an oversized refrigerator and two dishwashers to handle big gatherings, all items, from utensils to appliances, have their own custom space, with wooden spoons fitted into cubbies in a drawer by the stove and an espresso machine mounted in the pantry.

Overnight guests’ sleeping needs are met through a multilevel suite (located above the garage), a bunk room for children, and a guest room with a queen bed and two built-in daybeds. In these rooms, the palette changes.

One bedroom is aqua and coral. Another is aqua and navy, colors pulled from its Legacy Home bedding. (Hurlbutt had Barrier Island Rugs make an area rug to match the linen colors.)

Browns and grays dominate the bunk room,

THE OCEANSIDE LENGTH OF THE HOUSE IS FILLED, CORNER TO CORNER, WITH WINDOWS, SO UPON ENTERING, THE VIEW IS ACROSS A BRIGHT, NAVY AND WHITE LIVING ROOM TO “50 FEET OF GLASS TO THE ATLANTIC,” SAYS BUILDER SHAWN DOUSTON. “YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ALMOST OUTDOORS.”

The large owners’ bathroom (above) has a double sink separated by a chest that gives the room a vertical lift. Sylco Cabinetry is responsible for the cabinets, and Distinctive Tile and Design did the floor. The BainUltra Naos pedestal tub has Rohl’s Country Bath hardware. Four-inch-wide wooden shutters above the bath let light in while preserving privacy.

Homeowner Louise Jean walks down a staircase (opposite, top left) with custom millwork by Ventura Staircase and Woodturning. The newel is painted blue.

Hurlbutt likes to mix navy and aqua as she did in this guest room (opposite, top right), which has a porcelain gourd lamp and a Barrier Island Rugs cotton rug designed to complement the Legacy Home bedding.

To accommodate a big family, this guest room’s window seats (opposite, bottom) function as daybeds for grandchildren. The blues throughout the house turn aqua here, while coral accents add variety to the house’s dominant palette. Hurlbutt had the lamp custom fabricated from tin ornamentation.

An ocean-view painting (left) by Craig Mooney, who is represented by Maine Art Paintings and Sculpture, hangs over a fireplace with a Jet Mist granite surround.

where beadboard walls, teak trim, a ladder, and a steamer trunk continue the nautical theme. As for the Jeans’ bedroom suite, it occupies the whole ocean side of the second floor, stretching from a barrel-ceilinged bedroom through a sitting room to an expansive bathroom with a glass shower, Calacatta Gold marble floor, and pedestal tub.

As for entertainment options: proximity to the beach is the whole purpose of the house. The Jeans’ grandchildren “love the same things we do,” says Louise. They play cornhole and football on the beach. They plunge into the hot tub that nestles under the second-floor porch and by the dune grass that edges the property.

Of course, sometimes it rains, and when it does, the house offers plenty of places to curl up with a book. The house also has numerous options for watching movies or the news, as there are televisions in the living room, the cherry-lined study upstairs, the kitchen, and even the second-floor laundry room and owners’ bathroom. (Ray likes to watch CNBC while he shaves.) For bigger groups, a media room mimics a movie theater with six big leather recliners arranged on two levels before a large flat-screen television.

On the ocean side, the exterior is virtually all glass. As Bedell and Freedman note, people buy shore property for the view so, on all floors, the partners purposely filled the width of the buildable lot with windows. (Part of the design challenge

MHD NEW SEPT 17_FINAL_2.indd 114

of the house was fitting everything the Jeans wanted into the allowable envelope, which meant, at times, creative design solutions, such as hiding the HVAC and plumbing in the living room’s coffered ceiling.) Meanwhile, on the street side, playful detailing includes diamond-shaped shingles under the gables and partial copper roofs, while an attractive yet functional cluster of eight windows in one corner of the facade floods the stairwell with light. Above the garage doors, a bumpout bay with supporting corbels breaks up the mass of the house. The bay—as Dave Wagor, project manager at Douston Construction observes—also creates a drip edge that serves as the garage’s protection from sheeting rainwater.

According to builder Shawn Douston, one of the running jokes during construction was that Ray could supervise the building of the house from the “Oval Office,” because an oval window in the owners’ initial house looked toward the construction site. As for whether the Jeans, in a presidential mood, are ever tempted to look out one of the two oval windows in their current house to supervise more building?

“We are not,” Louise says, “building another house.” Because now they have exactly what they want: the beach and a house big enough to enjoy it with their loved ones. MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 140.

SOLID CHOICES From the geometric adornments of the Arts and Crafts movement to the hand-turned simplicity of a Shaker table, the pieces at Chilton Furniture Co. are built to last a lifetime

en Levin believes in slow decor. “I think style should evolve over time,” she says.

“The best way to design a space is through collecting pieces over the course of a lifetime and mixing them relentlessly.”

Jen’s ethos is visible throughout the Chilton Furniture Co. store in Freeport, where cherry tables and ash chairs play with minimalist Japanese-designed ceramics, cozy Beni Ourain rugs, and abstract paintings by artist Scott Bowe. The visual language of the showroom may sound eclectic, but it’s grounded by Chilton’s primary product: Shaker-inspired and heirloom-quality solid wood furniture.

Like Jen’s design style, this furniture is made slowly and thoughtfully. Since purchasing the company in 2014, Jen and her husband, Jared, have been working with craftspeople to produce more and more products in Maine. They do this in part to honor the company’s history— Chilton has been selling wood furniture since the mid-1970s—but also because the Levins firmly believe in buying local. “I think when you buy pieces that are crafted by regional artists, you root your house in the local economy and in the community,” Jen says. “I’m part of the Maine community, and that’s why I’m eating at a table that was made just down the road.”

The tables, chairs, dressers, beds, end tables, and shelves on display at Chilton pay homage to the company’s history through simple, clean design principles. While Chilton does not manufacture furniture—the Levins work directly with craftspeople to design and sell pieces, rather than building them inhouse—their curated collection is unified by quality construction and a minimalist aesthetic.

In short, Chilton pieces are built to last— and to weather both shifts in style and the temperamental Maine climate. As temperature and humidity changes, wood contracts and expands, “almost like a living thing,” says Jen.

The maple Mysa sleigh bed and nightstand are made in the midcoast. The photograph above the dresser is by Christopher Lawrence, and the pair of paintings is by Charles Mooradian.

Chilton employs traditional techniques, like dovetail, bridle, mortise and tenon, and other types of wood joinery whenever possible, particularly in key structural locations. While many of their pieces use some metal fasteners, which makes them easier to assemble and reassemble, the Levins are slowly growing a collection of allwood furniture. “One of our woodworkers told me that when you have metal and wood together, over time, metal will always win.

The joints will loosen, and where the metal rubs against the wood, it will degrade,” Jen explains. “With a properly constructed woodon-wood joint, there is no reason for that to ever weaken.”

But Jen’s passion is for offering unique products that will last generations. She relays an anecdote from one of the craftspeople that Chilton works with: Years ago, Adam Nudd-Homeyer, owner and builder of the highly prized Tappan chair, was tasked with fixing one of the handcrafted ash and maple chairs that had been doubling as a ladder in an old house in Sandwich, New Hampshire.

“But he couldn’t take it apart to repair it,” she says. “The joints were too solid.” The Levins say that these Tappan chairs are among the best quality chair of this style on the market, and they are actively working with Nudd-Homeyer to innovate new versions that reflect Chilton’s evolving aesthetic.

While Chilton still sells chairs that are indistinguishable from their nineteenth-century counterparts, Jen and Jared are working

to bring a slightly more modern aesthetic into their showroom.

“For many years, Chilton has been about the Shaker philosophy, which is about utility, quality, and simplicity,” Jen says. “We want to stay true to those principles while introducing some exciting, original designs.” To that end, the Levins are pursuing a collaborative partnership with Sea Bags to create unique beds featuring weathered sailcloth headboards. They have also hired Barrett Stowell, a Maine-born industrial and interior designer currently living in Boston, to help develop more complex pieces, including the geometric Lokie tables and bench, available in ash and oak, as well as the solid maple Mysa sleigh bed and its coordinating Mysa nightstand.

“It will be interesting to see how the more modern items we’re making resonate with our more traditional customers,” Jen says.

However, she feels that even shoppers with a classic design sense will be able to appreciate the clean lines of Chilton furniture— whether it comes in the form of a classic Shaker chest of drawers made of cherry or a midcentury-inspired wormy maple dining table. “We’re evolving,” Jen says. “And that’s a good thing.” MH+D

4 STYLING TIPS FOR SLOW DECOR:

JOANNE PARENT LIGHT MEETS DARK | 30”X40” | OIL ON CANVAS

Invest in anchor pieces that will last a lifetime, then mix it up with seasonal accessories. “I prefer to work with neutrals, and add color in accessories,” Jen says. “I love changing the feel of my space as the temperature rises and falls.” Pillows, placemats, and flowers are all easy to swap out.

u

“Buy the best quality furniture you can afford,” says Jen. “You will enjoy a piece longer if it is built to last. I always tell people to examine a piece and look for certain quality cues, such as dovetails on the drawer boxes or split wedge mortise-and-tenon joints where spindles are visible through the top rail of a chair.” Look to see whether the wood in the furniture appears as though it all comes from the same tree. “This means more time was taken to select the wood that went into building the piece— it probably means more care was taken in the construction as well,” Jen says.

u

Don’t be afraid to mix and match wood types. Often, Jen says, customers will express trepidation about mixing various types of wood. “I think wood almost always goes with wood,” she says. However, there is one exception to this rule: don’t choose pieces that are too similar in shade. “I find a duochromatic palate is easier to decorate with. I love mixing walnut and maple, or walnut and birch. It makes the space feel crisp,” she says.

u

Finally, don’t be afraid to get up close and personal with the grain. Some of the most striking pieces in the Chilton showroom feature irregular grain patterns, such as the dark streaks of spalted maple or the distinctive trails of worm-gnawed maple. “I like to advocate for wood in its natural state,” explains Jen. “I think people are drawn easily to the grain of the wood—it’s what makes each piece unique, and that makes it even more beautiful.”

ART SPOTLIGHT EDITED BY BRITTANY COST

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

ISA AC JAEGERMAN Lights, 2017, white ink on black paper, 23” x 15”

“My work is representative, even in abstraction, of lived experience. I sometimes paint from photos of landscapes that I passed through months ago, but in my work, memories of place are both more vivid and less specific than I can capture with a camera.

In making art, I enhance my source material, whether it’s photographic or imagined, to create something that is as compelling as real life, but doesn’t attempt to supersede reality. This featured work, Lights, takes its cues from optical art and geometric abstraction. Lines are mysterious,

disorienting, and charged with energy; they imbue a two-dimensional space with the qualities of something alive and dynamic. It’s a cliché, but when I’m making art, I feel like an alchemist. I take inert materials, alter them, combine them, and watch them transform into new and unforeseen forms.

Lights conveys what it feels like to hold a pool of bioluminescent water in your cupped hands on a dark night in early autumn. To focus your eyes on any single glowing speck is impossible, so you take in the experience in its entirety.”

PAUL BONNEAU

Three Dories, 2016, acrylic on canvas, 36” x 36”

“Working both en plein air and in the studio from sketches, I create pieces that seem to have been painted quickly. My narratives are not complicated. The simple and concrete shapes of barns, boats, and dramatic landscapes allow for strong contrasts of light and shadow, which justify the intensification of color. Through my paintings I am looking for universal values and trying to heighten the viewer’s visual experience. I want them to participate in the scenes that I develop. I start with a canvas toned in yellow ochre onto which I apply a thin layer of cadmium red to establish the values and large shapes. This process allows for a fresh application of complementary colors, giving the finished work energy and a warm glow. My goal is to capitalize on the joy even in a seemingly ordinary object or scene.”

MILENA BANKS

Beecher Stowe House, 2016, oil on canvas, 36” x 48” “I love inspirations that come unexpectedly, and I enjoy a new challenge, a new subject. I use thick oils and broad, rapid strokes to keep up with my imagination. It excites me when someone tells me, ‘That’s too hard to paint.’ If it’s difficult, I want to do it. This is a painting of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Brunswick. Driving by it, I always felt a presence inside, watching. I decided to paint the house as a battle of wills—an interplay of tree shadows like hands prying the house apart—representing my curiosity about what’s hiding inside, as the house fights to stay undisturbed by onlookers.

I still pass by this house a lot, and it seems to remember me, saying, ‘Oh, you again.’”

MARCIA CRUMLEY

Coastal Currents, 2017, acrylic on canvas, 36” x 36” “I never tire of the Maine landscape, from its changing seasons to its fast-moving weather. I can spend hours walking through the woods or sitting on the shore watching the clouds and light dance across the water, trees, and mountains. When I see a ray of light burst through the clouds and illuminate a distant mountain ridge or a tree with expressive markings on its unusually shaped limbs, the design of a future painting starts spinning through my head. I think, what dimensions would work best, which components of the scene are critical, which pieces can be eliminated, and what colors could I use to reinvent the moment and make it mine? I’m particularly drawn to trees, especially Maine pines and birches, as they have such expressive personalities. For me, a vital life force emanates from them. The painting technique I’ve developed makes this energy palpable by leaving flashes of the contrasting underpainting visible around the edges of trees. I usually do the underpaintings in saturated monotones—magenta is one of my favorites—creating a dynamic contrast to the foliage and drawing the eye to the tree’s energy and form.”

TOM CURRY

View from Great Spruce Head Island, 2016, oil on panel, 12” x 16” “As a plein air painter, I immerse myself in landscape to explore the relationships between stillness and flux. What we call a place is a paradox. It is not fixed but always changing; the light shifts from moment to moment, water is never still, and clouds come and go. I am drawn to paint both the raw, wild places and the small villages and harbors on the peninsula where I live—working outdoors where I can be in direct contact with the clear, searing light or the dense fog, the heat of the sun or a frigid wind, the sounds of crickets or the distant drone of a fishing boat, the smell of salt. I seek to create a powerful and intimate sense and experience of these places using layers of saturated color and compositions distilled to bold, elemental forms. In my work I seek to express that we are not mere observers of landscape but also participants in it. I want to encourage the viewer to engage with landscape not as a passive backdrop of scenery, but as alive, wild, muscular, and ultimately unknowable—layered with history, but also breathing, ever-changing, and seamless.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 140.

Tuesday, September 12, 6:30 p.m.

Hannaford Hall, Abromson Center, University of Southern Maine $15 general public, $10 PMA members, $5 students It wasn’t long ago that one of Maine’s oldest art forms—ash and sweetgrass basketry—was in danger of disappearing entirely. Activists and advocates from the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, and Micmac tribes saved the tradition through a long, hard-fought struggle, preserving a crucial piece of the region’s cultural heritage. In this special lecture, Theresa Secord, the founding director of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, shares this story as well as insights from her decades of experience advocating for artists and the arts from Maine to Hawaii.

onoring the often under-represented relationship between woodworking and lighting design, furniture and lighting designer Christopher Poehlmann of CP Lighting in Philadelphia has curated an exhibition at Rockport’s Center for Furniture Craftsmanship called Contemporary Wood Lighting.

Running September 22 through January 3, the show features the work of 23 international makers whose techniques range from delicate marquetry to CNC laser cutting, as well as coopering, veneering, bending, and turning. The pieces range from practical to conceptual, resulting in a multifaceted exhibition in which objects

demonstrate the medium’s capacity to imitate nature and yet deviate from it—for example, Duncan Meerding’s standing lamps are shaped like tree stumps and emit light from cracks along their sides, and Cameron Mathieson transforms Japanese tissue paper into lifelike but unidentifiable animal figures. All works share wood as the primary material that their creators have chosen to light their artistic vision. “In the hands of makers, wood can be incredibly diverse,” says Poehlmann. “New lighting ideas are popping up all the time, but there has yet to be a proper showcase for lighting design specifically in wood.” MH+D

REINVENTING HISTORY

PHOTO: Great Moose Aerial

A seaside estate in Cumberland Foreside

riginally built in 1938 as a summer getaway, a Georgian colonial estate sprawls across nearly nine and a half acres in Cumberland Foreside. The 7,888-square-foot home includes 9 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 partial baths, creating ample space for family gatherings. Horse paddocks, a carriage house and stables, original clay tennis courts, and a barn provide opportunities for outdoor entertainment and reference the property’s past as an early-twentieth-century country estate.

Adjacent to the property is a sandy beach, and the property includes deeded mooring rights at the town pier. Bay windows offer expansive views of Casco Bay, while five fireplaces supply warmth and a cozy ambience on colder nights.

“The property has a great history to it,” says developer Nathan Bateman of Bateman Partners. Louise Payson, one of the state’s eminent landscape architects, designed the pièce de résistance of the property—its original garden—that is still intact today.

Rather than renovating, Bateman and his collaborator, builder Peter Anastos of Anastos and Nadeau, opted to preserve the home’s rich legacy, including its original wallpaper, light fixtures,

and structural elements, such as a curved concave door off the spiral stairs, which opens to a small room where the estate’s former residents would arrange freshly cut fresh flowers. The pair were careful to refrain from superfluous modernization, allowing the future owners to either maintain the historical property or transform it to fit their own dreams. Thanks to a conservation easement managed by the Chebeague and Cumberland Land Trust, owners can alter the property and landscape while still preserving the wildlife and fauna that define the Casco Bay region. “It’s a thoughtful development,” Bateman adds of his purchase. “We got to preserve a landmark estate in a desirous location.”

Although the secluded property may seem to belong to another era, its location along the Route 88 Foreside corridor positions it within a bike ride of the Portland Country Club and only a ten-minute drive from Portland’s cultural offerings, including James Beard Award–winning restaurants, the historic Old Port, and the Portland Museum of Art. Bateman says that much of the land from the original property is still in common, including the waterfront and surrounding forest, giving it the feeling of a classic hundred-acre estate. “From the aerials, you can see the enormity of it. It’s really special.” MH+D

THE COTTAGE! “AGE CANNOT WITHER HER, NOR CUSTOM STALE HER INFINITE VARIETY” Not exactly Cleopatra, but every Maine sumer cottage has her own story. Most of them are seductresses, luring their owners back time after time, year after year, generation after generation. Here we have just such a seductress. She was built C. 1918, on the rocky shore of Juniper Pt., in a one hundred year old, well established summer colony.

Shingle style with four bedrooms, two baths, large living room with glass sliding doors all across the front, fireplace, sun room and diing room. A large covered porch on the water is wonderful for sitting and watching, panoramic southerly views of ocean activity. The lot consists of .38A and 48 feet of deep water. With association membership there’s access to two deep water docs, one within feet of the cottage, clay tennis courts with tennis pro, private sandy beach and a large vitnage community house. Many activities for adults and children and just a mile from the yacht club and two miles from town. New survey with great possibilities for expansion. New to the market. $775,000

Island Eyrie

T

he site for this island residence is a rocky knoll overlooking Penobscot Bay with views to the open ocean, where the white lines of birch trunks punctuate a backdrop of twisted spruce trees. Because the site slopes away in several directions from the top of the knoll, the building forms modulate and shift to engage with the topography. The design’s cedar-clad, gabled forms extend into the landscape, creating a variety of intimately scaled outdoor spaces. Rather than establish a foundation plinth, the design takes a more plastic approach, wrapping the shingled wall surfaces down to the natural grade.

Woven shingle corners minimize breaks in

the surface pattern. Cedar decks contribute to a palette of weathered materials. The three main volumes—living areas, guest accommodations, and an owner's suite— gather around a central kitchen, which is topped with a green roof. There is also an office with access to a deck perched in the green roof.

Like all GO Logic projects, this design incorporates a Passive House−level building shell to deliver the highest levels of energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The building is oriented to engage with the site’s remarkable views but also to maximize passive solar gain, further reducing its demand for supplemental heat. MH+D
