or some people, living across the country from their family is still too close for comfort. But for the three tight-knit clans whose homes are featured in this issue, living in close quarters reigns supreme. These houses are all built on, or next to, family property, creating cozy compounds where the whole brood can be together— without being on top of one another.

On Great Cranberry Island, a multigenerational family built a modern home for their matriarch on the property abutting their decades-old, white clapboard farmhouse (Housing the Generations, page 78). It’s a similar story for a Canadian couple who, after outgrowing their vacation home in Old Orchard Beach, now lives in a year-round house next door designed to accommodate their children, grandchildren, and frequent visitors (Fit for Family, page 94). And in York, a young family constructed a net-zero home in a field just a stone’s throw from the sprawling farmhouse of the wife’s parents (Small Footprint, Big Impact, page 110).

How special is it for extended family members to be just steps away from one another: to be able to trod barefoot down a well-worn path to pop by for a visit, to not have to knock to borrow a cup of sugar, for little ones to live in such proximity to their parents’ parents? As realtors are apt to remind us, a home’s value is often tied up in “location, location, location.” Something tells me that each of the families in this issue—who might not all be living under the same roof but are considerably close to it—would agree.

No one will ever say, “I saw a house the other day just like yours.”

How do you house hunt if the home you love doesn’t exist yet? Maybe your dream home is locked inside a historic property, awaiting a renovation that will redefine it. Or maybe it’s hiding on an empty lot, with panoramic ocean views. Your dream home is waiting for you. Let us help you build it.

othing makes you turn a more critical eye toward your home than the impending arrival of a new baby. All of sudden, every exposed electrical outlet and sharp corner takes on a whole new urgency. And then there’s the unfinished nursery filled with bins of tiny clothes and other newborn “essentials” piled up for “later.” (Although I’m discovering that, with baby number two, “essentials” and “later” don’t mean quite what they did the first time around.)

Nesting urge aside, several times a day I find myself drawing up to-do lists just to work out the sheer logistics of it all: where will everyone (and everything) go?

Working for a shelter magazine means the ideas and inspirations are plentiful, although more often than not they’re tailored to the adults living in a space. Looking at your home from a kid’s point of view isn’t something we often do, and yet many of the same considerations apply: Are we comfortable in here? Is there enough natural light? Is

the furniture durable and flexible (and safely secured to the walls)? Do we have enough storage? (Almost never.)

In a life where change is constant, a home’s flexibility is probably one of its most important features. As much as I love reading about the materials and finishes of a home, those elements take on more meaning when they’re part of a larger conversation that considers the ebb and flow of peoples’ lives— whether they’re just starting out, having children (or not), in middle age, or in the retirement stage. And in Maine, where our seasons are so distinct, I also love hearing about homes that adjust to the time of year, to nature, and to the site.

How smart, when a house is designed to open up to the outside in summer and bring in much-needed sunlight on the darker days of winter. As important as every decision that goes into making a house is, so is every decision that goes into keeping it “home” for years to come.

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.

ANNIE STICKNEY was raised in Massachusetts.

After finishing nursing school in Boston, she moved to Maine, where she had summered as a child. As a nurse in Portland, she met and married her husband, Andy Stickney. While working as a nurse, Stickney became interested in interior design and took classes at Maine College of Art. She started her own small design business and began helping seniors downsize and transition to smaller spaces. In early 2012 Linda Banks of Banks Design Associates and Simply Home offered Stickney a full-time position as an interior designer. With gratitude for all that Banks taught her, Stickney relaunched as Annie Stickney Design in late 2014. Fit for Family, page 94

NOTES FROM OUR READERS Each month we write to new subscribers asking how they heard about us and what they think of MH+D, as well as their connection to the great state of Maine.

With much enthusiasm, they tell us all this and more. We welcome letters of any kind. Send them to letters@mainehomedesign.com.

I am a magazine media executive in New York, and I am obsessed with your publications! I am so full of admiration for your high-quality approach—both as a consumer and as someone who is highly invested in the future of print.

On a personal level, my husband is from Maine, and we spend a lot of time there. There is enough going on in Maine culturally these days to captivate any reader—Manhattanite or otherwise.

Between that and the quality of your editorials, it is one of my absolute favorites. In my personal and professional opinion: keep it luxe, keep it Maine, and you’ll keep me as a customer!

REGINA BUCKLEY NEW YORK, NY We are likely returning home to Maine and Portland this summer after voluntary exile in Nashville for a few years. We are interested in information and articles about the home renovation and design process, such as stories about condo and home renovations, in a modern aesthetic that honors the peninsula’s charm.

We’ve used the magazine in the past for ideas and finding contractors. We can’t wait to get home and get back to your magazines as we explore home purchases and renovations!

Q+A

with Caleb Johnson of Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders about the benefits of solar shades Nick and Molly LaVecchia’s home (Small Footprint, Big Impact, page 110) in Scarborough is a 1,000-square-foot passive solar home. Heated with a heat pump powered by the solar panels, the home generates as much energy as it uses. Designed and built by Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders, it relies on solar shades to optimize the performance of the passive solar siting.

Q. WHAT ARE SOLAR SHADES? A. Solar shades allow the sun in

during the winter heating season when it’s needed and block it during peak times of heat gain in the summer. The shades on this house are wood structures made of eastern white cedar that hang above the south-facing windows at a calculated height. In Maine’s latitude, a 10-foot-high window usually requires a 2½-foot-deep shade. They are about 19 feet in length and cost about $2,000 in materials and labor.

Constructed of wood fins set at an angle so the rain and snow can pass through, they provide a modernaesthetic alternative to blinds or awnings.

Q. HOW DO THEY WORK? A. Solar shades are a critical piece

of a passive solar home. Passive solar homes capture energy from the sun in the daytime and drive that energy into some form of thermal mass such as a concrete floor. In winter, solar shades allow the sun in to heat the thermal mass, which then releases that heat in the evening. In summer, the shades block the sun during the daytime. Opening the windows at night cools the thermal mass, which then cools the house during the day.

Q. WHY ARE SOLAR SHADES A

BETTER OPTION THAN BLINDS OR OVERHANGS?

A.

For homes in New England, the geometry of overhangs doesn’t always fit all needs: while a farmer’s porch, which is generally 10 to 12 feet deep, blocks the summer sun, it’s too deep to allow solar gain in winter.

Blinds can obstruct the view out the window. Finally, it’s more effective for a shade system to be on the exterior of the building envelope so it doesn’t hold heat inside the house. MH+D For more, see page 110.

THIS SUMMER, LET’S RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO ENDING CHILD HUNGER.

1

For kids who rely on school meals during the academic year, summer exacerbates food insecurity. At Full Plates Full Potential, we ensure that children have reliable meals when school is out by connecting them with summer meals in their communities. We recruit new meal sites, reach out to low-income families, and make grants to support the start-up, operation and expansion of summer meal programs.

We know which programs are effective to combat hunger. We create plans to make these summer connections, and with your support, we will end child hunger.

L

ike color, a room can typically withstand a little more pattern than one may think,” writes Meg Braff in The Decorated Home. “I always encourage pushing the proverbial envelope a bit.” In this cheery space, patterns range from a zig-zag rug to animal print pillows to ikat draperies. For a similar look, pair a modern geometric rug—hand-tufted in India and GoodWeavecertified—with leopard print pillows in picnic green, then accessorize with a swirly brass candelabra and textural porcelain lantern. To mix and match prints, keep the color palette consistent and vary size and scale. “And most of all,” warns Braff, “never let your pattern choices get too serious.” MH+D

ARCHITECT AS ADVOCATE

KAY STEVENS ROSA ON THE DUTY OF AN ARCHITECT TO CHALLENGE AND CHANGE

“B

ritish architect Norman Foster believes that advocacy is the only power an architect ever has,” says Kay Stevens Rosa, the president of AIA Maine and cofounder of A4 Architects. “Though the AIA declared 2015 to be the Year of the Advocate, it has become clearer than ever—as we face the dangerous dismantling of the environmental protections that architects have helped champion for decades— that advocacy is and always will be one of the foremost tools of an architect.” MH+D asks Stevens Rosa to tell us more.

IN MH+D’S CONTINUING COLLABORATION WITH AIA MAINE, WE PRESENT TO YOU EACH MONTH A DESIGN CONCEPT FROM AN ARCHITECT’S POINT OF VIEW. 52 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Q. A.

Where should architects focus their advocacy?

The most urgent call for advocacy is to uphold and further sustainability initiatives in the face of climate change.

Buildings account for 40 percent of energy use and 72 percent of electricity use in the United States. If those of us on the front lines of the interface between clients and projects are not addressing these statistics in a meaningful and direct way, we are failing the profession as well as the planet. In support of the Paris Agreement on climate change, AIA Maine has taken a significant role in giving Maine architects the tools they need to meet the 2030 Challenge. This initiative aims to create highperforming buildings that reduce energy consumption and fossil gas emissions now, with an ultimate goal of buildings that consume no fossil fuel energy by the year 2030. There is a sense of alarm that this effort will be derailed, with devastating consequences. That, along with playing our part in fostering human rights, equity, and economic opportunity, is the global view of an architect’s advocacy role in society.

Q. A.

How about on a more local level?

On the community level, we are often called upon to serve on or advise our local boards and committees with the goal of helping the community understand the importance of well-designed infrastructure for safe, healthy, and appealing places to live. Similarly, we can influence the city policies that make up the comprehensive plans and ordinances that ultimately shape how we live.

One of the ways, apart from decades of serving on local boards, that I am working to better my community and reduce building waste is encouraging property owners to work with existing structures wherever feasible. I have seen too many historic or quasi-historic buildings torn down in my hometown of Bar Harbor in recent years. Through designing creatively, conveying the understanding that rehabilitation is often the most sustainable choice, and applying historic rehabilitation tax credits, we can show building owners the value of this

approach. Recently, my husband and I purchased a historic building in our neighborhood—a large structure that was built as one of the first schools in Bar Harbor, and later used for a century by the Masons—and are retrofitting it into loft-style residential units. Several other neighbors, fearing what might go up in its place, looked at the property but could not imagine what to do with 7,000 square feet on a residential street, comprising a ballroom, a gathering hall, and a catering kitchen.

We were able to develop a vision and an implementation plan that was readily accepted by the neighbors, the town, and the bank. We are thrilled to be advocating for the history that made this place special.

Q. A.

How do you incorporate advocacy into your day to day?

In our everyday practice, in addition to promoting smart and healthy building science, we advocate at every turn for people and place. We listen intently to our clients and look for clues about what would make their lives easier and happier in their home or workplace. Transforming the ideas and requirements expressed by someone else into a comprehensive and viable vision is an art unto itself. We observe the context with equal attention to make sure the structure will complement and make better its surroundings, and vice versa. On the behalf of our clients, we employ the breadth of our understanding of good design, building science, engineering, psychology, economy, law, and planning to solve the extremely complex puzzle that is a building. Once a project enters the construction phase, our involvement ensures proper adherence to all of these concepts, and we step in as problem solvers when the inevitable challenges present themselves.

Each of these is an act of advocacy. Architecture is, after all, about making life better. If advocacy is indeed our only real power, it is important that we harness its potential impact to the greatest extent possible. MH+D

PERSONAL PROJEC TS FOR ARCHITECT RUSS TYSON, PEOPLE ARE THE KEY ELEMENT OF HOME DESIGN

Russ Tyson is surrounded by eastern white cedar shingles on the porch of a beach cottage project in Scarborough.

The spacious great room of a Scarborough vacation home (opposite) that Tyson designed for a young family sits between an open, sunny space on one side and an intimate shaded courtyard on the other. Lift-and-slide glass panels open whole sections of wall to the outdoors.

W

hen Russ Tyson talks about the Maine homes he has designed, he seems to spend as much time describing what’s outside as what’s inside. As a partner in the Portland firm Whitten Architects, Tyson designs houses that not only take advantage of elements such as an ocean or lake view but also seamlessly blend location and function. For a New York City family’s vacation home, sited on a spectacular 36-acre waterfront property in Scarborough, Tyson included large lift-and-slide doors that open whole sections of wall, giving the couple and their young children plenty of access to the outdoors.

But he also considered that the wife, a Manhattan native, was accustomed to more contained surroundings. On the western side of the house, a stone courtyard offers shelter from the prevailing winds and an intimate space for the family to gather. “It’s a denser-built environment that maybe subconsciously gives some comfort,” Tyson says of the courtyard. “It’s the antithesis to the big, wide ocean view on the eastern side.” Another distinctive

feature: the dormered lofts in each of the children’s bedrooms and the owners’ bedroom are cozy spaces set apart from the wide-open feel of the rest of the home. “This house wouldn’t work for just anybody,” says Tyson. “A big part of why I love doing what I do is the people I’m working with. It’s very specific homes for very specific people on very specific sites. That’s where I find my joy.”

Raised in Florida and Ohio, Tyson became interested in architecture because he loved to draw; he still does, saying that it helps him to relax and focus. He studied architecture at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. “I fell in love with the design process, starting with a blank piece of paper and coming up with an idea,” he says. His early work as an architect was as a member of a large commercial firm in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He continued at another large firm when he and his wife, Janel, a Freeport native he met at Andrews, moved to Maine in 2006. The couple and their children Paige, 12, and Rhett, 8, live in Brunswick and are

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 57

PR OF ILE|RU SS TY S O N

active in Brunswick’s Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Janel is a teacher and the vice principal at Pine Tree Academy, which is associated with the church.

Less than a year after the Tysons moved to Maine, Portland architect Rob Whitten called. “It was like a dream come true,” says Tyson, who had grown tired of commercial work. “I wanted to think about what’s going to happen to a family as they grow in a home, and how the home will accommodate them,” he says. Started by Whitten in 1986, Whitten Architects has a reputation for designing homes that, whether they are traditional in style or more modern, honor New England’s wellestablished architectural forms. Like the Scarborough house, several homes in the firm’s online portfolio are attenuated— meaning that instead of one single building, the home is made of up several connected structures—recalling the connected farm buildings common to rural Maine. “I think it helps with scale so that hopefully the buildings never feel so big and overwhelming that they’re not approachable,” Tyson says.

“They’re welcoming, and also when you keep it attenuated out like that, you can respond to site characteristics that you couldn’t otherwise.”

The home Tyson designed for Irwin Gross and Martha Fogler on a wooded lot in Brunswick includes an owners’ bedroom wing and a separate screened porch. Over the course

58 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

of a year, Tyson and the couple met once a month. Gross and Fogler brought photos that they had been collecting; Tyson also visited them at their home in Bangor to ask what they liked and didn’t like about it. The couple, both avid gardeners, wanted views out to the trees and to open, sunny garden areas. They were frustrated that, in Bangor, they couldn’t see their gardens from the house. “I want a house that brings the outside inside,” Gross told Tyson. The main living area of their new home has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a terrace that will be intensively gardened. Attenuating the structures reinforces the connection both to the outdoors and between the different sections of the home, Tyson says. “They really enjoy the fact that from the main living space they can actually see other parts of the building. If one of them gets up early, they can sit in the kitchen and see the light come on when their spouse wakes up.” The screened porch was originally planned for the main house, but Tyson and the couple recognized that they would have had to look through it to see the yard. “We call it the ‘summer house’ because it reminds me of the screened summer house on the Maine dairy farm where I grew up,” Fogler says. Built ten steps from the kitchen door, it has a table and chairs for outdoor dining, something that was especially important to Gross. “The wood is Douglas fir, and it almost feels like one of those National

Park hotels out west,” Fogler says.

“The builder, Merrymeeting Builders, called it ‘the jewelry box.’ It’s very, very pretty.”

Making sure his clients understand his design is critical to the collaborative nature of his process, Tyson says. While Fogler was good at reading architectural plans, Gross had more difficulty picturing a threedimensional structure from the onedimensional drawing, so Tyson built him a model and brought it to the site before any construction on the house was begun. “It was fun because Irwin immediately got it,” says Tyson. “When I get to the end of my life and think of the wonderful things I was privileged to participate in, this is one of them,” says Fogler. “Having the opportunity to work with a professional person like Russ to build a dream home was such a lovely life experience.”

Thoughtful, focused, and kind, Tyson attributes his outlook to his Christian faith. “It’s a big part of my life and how I treat people,” he says.

“Love God and love man; everything else is secondary to that.” Designing fine homes that both shelter and nurture those who live in them is showing that love, indeed. MH+D

BOOTHBAY HARBOR

by Susan Axelrod Photography by Heidi Kirn

A

t the height of the summer, the body of water that gives Boothbay Harbor its name is so full of boats that it almost looks like you could hop from one to the other without ever getting your feet wet. One of Maine’s most popular stops for cruising sailors, the protected deep-water harbor is also home to a fishing fleet, tour boats, and the Balmy Days II, which ferries day-trippers and vacationers to Monhegan island, 12 miles off the coast. While getting out on the water is the best way to explore the area’s craggy shoreline—and to see many of its classic summer homes—there is plenty to do on land. For the full Boothbay Harbor experience, browse the shops and galleries downtown, hike the Boothbay Region Land Trust trails, drive out to Ocean Point, take in a show at the Boothbay Harbor Opera House, play a round of golf (or mini golf), and be sure to enjoy at least one meal on a waterside deck. Need more ideas (or directions)?

Ask a local. The friendly residents of Boothbay Harbor have been welcoming visitors since the 1880s, when steamships brought other East Coasters north to spend summers on the region’s rocky and picturesque shores.

Clockwise from top: Kayaks and paddleboards are just two of the many ways to get out on the water in Boothbay Harbor.

Colorful buoys decorate the Lobster Dock restaurant on the east side of the harbor.

McKown Street is lined with dozens of shops and galleries. Bibliophiles will have to be pried away from the jam-packed Friends of the Library Used Book Store. In the center of town, the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library is a popular meeting place, and in the summer, its lawn is the scene of band concerts and craft fairs.

LINEKIN BAY RESORT Originally founded in 1919 as Linekin Bay Camp for girls, this old-fashioned resort welcomed its first guests in 1946. In 2015 new owners renovated the main lodge and cabins to offer more modern comforts while retaining the timeless feel that brings families back year after year. Activities include sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming in the heated saltwater pool on the waterfront. The Deck Bar and Grill is open to the public, and is a not-so-well-kept secret of many locals and summer residents, who often arrive by boat.

HOUSING THE GENERATIONS A CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN MAKES USE OF HUMBLE MATERIALS AND SIMPLE FORMS

BY DEBRA SPARK // PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF ROBERTS

78 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

An extended Milwaukee family’s Great Cranberry Island summer home includes the mother’s house, which was designed by J.T. Loomis of Elliott and Elliott Architecture of Blue Hill and built by Michael Westphal of Great Cranberry Island. The house is meant to suggest an outbuilding to the large white farmhouse elsewhere on the property. The living space (to the left) consists of a bedroom, bathroom, and great room. The three south-facing windows are intended to bring as much light into the interior as possible.

“The Box” (to the right) consists of a screened porch and an observation deck, which is reached by a steel-frame staircase with custom railings and ipê treads.

80 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Over the Rosa rugosa that is abundant on the property (above), one can see how the original farmhouse and new house relate.

The walls and ceiling of the mother’s bedroom (opposite) are painted tongue-and-groove select pine. The floor is reclaimed longleaf heart pine. The closet, drawers, and window seat were designed by Elliott and Elliott Architecture and built by Westphal. The custommade storage exactly fits the width of the room and the size and location of the windows.

M

aine is old enough, and its agricultural history rich enough, that the phrase “iconic Maine farmhouse” can refer to many things. A house with a red barn. A “big house, little house, back house, barn” arrangement. A residence next to a smallwindowed, oversized chicken barn. And then there is the classic, white clapboard farmhouse, often with a porch for gathering and a few weathered outbuildings for tractors, animals, or any of the various things you might want to shelter on a farm. Outbuildings are invariably humble, something that architect J.T. Loomis of Elliott and Elliott Architecture in Blue Hill kept in mind when he designed an additional home next to a Milwaukee family’s farmhouse on Great Cranberry Island.

The primary structure, a graceful old white farmhouse, has had many residents through the years. At one point, it may even have been a rooming house. Since the 1970s, though, the Milwaukee family has owned the property. The family members know some of their property’s history, especially that which relates to the Bulger family, whose daughters, Marjorie and Hilda, were born in the early part of the twentieth century and resided for much of their long

lives on the island. When Marjorie and Hilda each married, their parents gave them land flanking the farmhouse so they could build their own homes. Eventually Hilda’s house passed over to neighbors. Marjorie’s house remained on the property but deteriorated over the years. In 2000 the family that currently owns the white farmhouse—a mother and her adult daughter and son (the former in Milwaukee, the latter in Norway), with their several children—began to think about housing the generations in separate but related structures. They thought for over ten years before they commissioned an architect. Only by this time, it was the grandmother who would be housed in the side structure and the younger generations in the main house. (The Milwaukee family bought the Maine farmhouse in the early 1970s and Marjorie’s property several years later.) Initially, the family thought they might simply renovate the house where Marjorie had lived; as they felt loyal to the property’s history, especially because they had known Marjorie and Hilda. About visiting the flanking houses when she was young, the adult daughter says, “We used to sit in their rocking chairs and talk. Hilda gave us gumdrops, and Marjorie and her husband gave us Andes candies and Juicy

The kitchen cabinetry (above) is original to the farmhouse and likely constructed of cypress or southern yellow pine, says Michael Westphal, who has lived for most of his life on Great Cranberry and serves as a caretaker for approximately 35 island properties.

The countertop is new and composed of Corian and butcher block. A swing-up counter provides additional work space when needed. The door to the left leads to the dining room.

Opposite, clockwise from top left: The antlers, bookcase, and other assorted items came with the farmhouse when the family bought it almost 50 years ago.

Fruit gum. They also used to welcome us with doughnuts or other baked goods when we arrived for the summer.”

When it became clear that Marjorie’s house wasn’t worth saving, the Milwaukee family decided to commission a new, historically sensitive home, which was completed in 2011 and is now known as the Phippen house after Marjorie’s married name. The daughter explains that, although she and her mother commissioned the house together, “My mother’s preferences were paramount.

I acted mostly as family representative.” In the end, the mother’s desires were for a small, one-bedroom, year-round, environmentally responsible house that nonetheless would protect everyone’s privacy while allowing for communal gathering when desired. The new house, designed by Loomis and constructed by Great Cranberry Island builder Michael Westphal, comprises

two compact structures—one private, one public—that are linked by a 12-foot ipê deck.

The private structure is an unembellished gable form with an eastern white cedar shingled exterior and a western red cedar shingled roof flush to the exterior walls.

Loomis conceived of the interior space as that of an old sail loft or wharf building, an open shell into which the walls were dropped. The result is a single-floor living space with two dominant rooms, one housing a kitchen, living, and dining area and the other, a bedroom. A bathroom with two sliding doors separates the spaces. To extend the emphasis on simple materials and forms, Loomis chose reclaimed southern yellow pine for the floors and painted tongue-and-groove white pine for the walls and ceiling. Three large square windows are placed in a vertical column on the south-facing gable in order to maximize

natural light. Furnishings are midcentury modern rather than farmhouse inspired, including sofas, tables, and chairs from Design Within Reach, and a Rais woodstove with sleek lines that owe nothing to the many traditional woodstoves in the main house.

Attractive as all this is, there isn’t enough room for a large gathering, a problem solved by the imaginative addition of the public structure, a freestanding screened porch that the family calls “The Box” and that Westphal describes as a cube. The screened porch is wrapped with removable screen panels and shingles on three sides.

The fourth wall is made of ipê slats, laid horizontally with a slight gap between boards, so one can see into the space. (At night, light shines through the slats and out the windows, making the whole space glow.) A steel-frame staircase with ipê treads leads to the flat roof above.

Rimmed by a stainless-steel cable railing and posts for safety, the roof deck offers 360-degree views, including a long-distance view west toward Acadia. The siting of “The Box” provides privacy between the Phippen house and the farmhouse. The location addresses a number of other desires as well, including creating outdoor spaces for

playing and relaxing while also preserving a public walking path to the shore. The path, which Loomis describes as “a big part of the island culture,” was particularly important to the family.

Over the years, the original farmhouse has received attention as well, with Westphal doing much of the work.

(His sons, who live on Mount Desert Island, commute over on the ferry to help him.) Back in the 1970s, when the mother and her then-husband first bought the home, it was out of pure love and impulse. The decision “was irrational to say the least,” says the mother, given that they didn’t yet own a year-round house, and he was just starting law school. (The couple only knew the island because they had come with a Wisconsin friend who had been visiting Great Cranberry Island for her whole life.) Initially, a foundation had to be added under one of the house wings, and sagging parts of the structure had to be propped up. Walls and the exterior were refreshed with new paint and wallpaper. More recently, Loomis and Westphal remodeled a “summer kitchen” (located between the main kitchen and barn), downstairs bathroom, and laundry area. Even with these changes, the

house, in all its detailing, suggests days gone by. Much of the original home has been left as is, including interior woodwork, kitchen cabinetry, stained glass, decorative wood screen doors, a lead-clad sink basin, and more. In addition, many furnishings and objects remain, including an organ, a sofa, the dining room table and chairs, beds, wall-mounted antlers, and two quilts made by Marjorie Phippen. There are still tintype portraits on a bookcase that also came with the house. “We don’t know who they are,” says the adult daughter. “There are things that have always been in the house and always will be here, like little mysteries.”

At one point in the almost 50 years that the family has owned the property, they tried to sell. “We had no takers,” says the mother. Now, she says—and it’s no surprise, when one sees the beautifully preserved historic farmhouse seamlessly paired with a home in a unique new design— “We are so happy that we weren’t successful.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

FIT FOR FAMILY IN THEIR BEACHY, BRIGHT HOME, A FAMILY FEELS THE MULTIGENERATIONAL PULL OF OCEAN PARK

by Jen DeRose // Photography by Jeff Roberts

94 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

In the living area of an Ocean Park home designed

by John Morris Architects and built by Rideout and Turner, an arched ceiling paneled in red birch serves as a piece of the home’s “jewelry,” as Morris calls it.

Designer Annie Stickney, formerly of Simply Home/ Banks Design Associates and now of Annie Stickney Design, brought in the rusty tangerines and oranges of the sunrises and sunsets visible through the wall of windows. The painting of sandpipers is by Trip Park.

Factory-made kitchen cabinets (above) were elevated with custom cove moulding.

Most of the home’s windows (opposite) face south to afford views out over Goosefare Brook. The location is just a few sandy steps away from the beach, so the outdoor shower, which is behind the stairway, sees its fair share of use.

E

ver since Kevin and Kathy Smith began dating when they were 16, the couple—who have now been married for 36 years—have visited Ocean Park in Old Orchard Beach. Each summer, the Smiths have continued to make the trip from Canada, their life unfolding over time: they visited when Kevin was in medical school, then as they raised their four children, and now as grandparents to a baby boy, with two more grandchildren on the way. The Smiths were drawn to the beach, of course, but also all that Ocean Park had to offer: ice cream shops, restaurants, tennis courts, shuffleboard, and a church that their family could attend on Sundays.

The Smiths rented in the area when their kids were young (something Kevin’s own parents had done), and then, in 2008, the Smiths bought and renovated an oceanfront home. “We had no qualms about it because our four kids, even as teenagers, never gave us any grief about going on vacation,” says Kevin. “They always wanted to go to the beach.” The home soon became the gathering spot both for extended family, after Kevin’s two sisters moved to New England, and for their kids’ friends—at one point, the Smiths even hosted the Bridgton Academy hockey team, on which one of their sons played. So in 2012, when a property adjacent to their home and set back from the ocean overlooking Goosefare Brook became available, they seized the opportunity to design for how their life had become, as well as for the future: with four grown children, grandchildren, and retirement on the horizon.

The couple knew they’d hire Rideout and Turner of Gray, the builder they had worked with on their first Ocean Park home.

“They truly care about their workmanship,” says Kathy. “I can call them up anytime with anything and they’re right there.” The Smiths also reached out to architect John D. Morris II, principal of John Morris Architects, to design the home. “The main goals were to provide them the amount of space that they needed, given this sort of extended family, with the kids and grandkids and friends, on a very limited piece of land, and with a modest budget,” he says. Morris accomplished this by designing a simply structured two-story floor plan composed of four boxes lined up next to each other. On the first floor are the living, dining, and kitchen areas, a powder room, and, tucked off toward the ocean, an owners’ suite with a study. Screened off behind an open fireplace in the living space is a small sitting area (Kathy refers to it as her “woman cave”), where she and her sisters-in-law will enjoy a glass of wine. On the second floor are four corner bedrooms—one for each adult child— that all share a common, central living area outfitted with a bar and porch, as well as three bathrooms.

The floor plan results in a home that provides ample space for everyone—and more—but still manages to feel intimate, with both shared

common areas and private spaces that seem quietly tucked away. Yet what really makes the house shine are the several eye-catching details that Morris refers to as the home’s “jewelry.” The first of these is the living area’s gracefully arched ceiling that immediately pulls visitors in from the entryway. Paneled in red birch, it caps the southernly view of the brook’s yellow-green sea grass and sets the tone for the rest of the house. “You don’t want to walk into a place and not have any jewelry,” Morris says. “There’s got to be something that really draws your eye and makes it fun and special.” That attention-grabbing feature was where designer Annie Stickney, whom the Smiths met at Simply Home/Banks Design Associates in Falmouth, pulled much of her inspiration from. (Stickney is now back on her own as Annie Stickney Design.)

“As soon as you walk in the front door, you’re almost back outside again thanks to the giant wall of windows that John designed,” says Stickney. “It goes from zero to 60 in 20 feet. Bam. You’re here. There’s the ocean.

There’s the inlet. There’s the beach. There’s the grass. The place buzzes with a sort of energy.

You’re on vacation.” So as to not compete with the view, the designer took her color cues

The handrail was made by Tim Hill Fine Woodworking and assembled and sanded on-site by Rideout and Turner. The custom liveedge dining table weighs 760 pounds. The first-floor powder room features a sink by Alison Evans, something Kathy first spotted at Eventide Oyster Company in Portland.

Opposite, clockwise from top left: Curved doors and built-in bureaus, crafted in mahogany by Tim Hill Fine Woodworking, were designed by John Morris as additional pieces of the home’s “jewelry.” An upstairs bedroom features a gray color scheme selected by one of the Smiths’ sons, which Stickney accented with school bus yellow. Jay Turner of Rideout and Turner cut and laid out the structural Douglas fir trusses, now over the upstairs common area, on the floor piece by piece, and then mounted them together. The owners’ bath has a shower niche with two shelves.

“Kathy didn’t want red, white, and blue. It’s easy to pound the beach theme into the ground,” she says. “Instead, we did sea greens and gray blues and looked to pop it with colors that are in the sky: the oranges and tangerines from sunrises and sunsets. Those are the punctuation marks that make it fun.” Upstairs in the bedrooms, each child selected their room’s individual color palette, and then Stickney incorporated one shade from each bedroom in the shared living area.

Additional pieces of the home’s jewelry include several elements designed by Morris and crafted

by Tim Hill Fine Woodworking, such as the curved mahogany bedroom doors, mahogany built-in bureaus, and a lychee live-edge dining table. The latter was “meant to be,” Kathy says, explaining that they couldn’t find any tables they liked— Kevin found most of them too wide for intimate conversations—until they visited Hill’s shop.

There they fell in love with the live-edge tabletop, originally intended for a corporate space, but

they didn’t care for the ironwood bow ties that ran down its center. Hill offered to remove them, which happily resulted in the exact table width that the Smiths were after. The piece was finished with an iron base that Morris designed, and Kathy requested that the surface’s small gaps (including one from a lightning strike) remain unfilled. “I can just picture my grandchildren playing and putting their little toys down the holes,” she says.

It’s that family-friendly attitude that gives the home its comfort and charm. “It’s a house that’s not fussy, not frilly,” says Stickney. “They simply want it so that they can pack a lot of people in, to be able to put everybody around that dining table and not have anybody worry about spilling.” In that vein, Stickney made sure there were plenty of cozy places for lounging and gathering, such as in the living area, where an armless sofa lets guests easily slide in and out of a conversation, and in the upstairs common area, where a sectional sofa is wide enough to double as a bed for overnight guests. “I understood what

they were trying to achieve, which is to make a place that’s magical for the generations to come,” she says.

In the summer, the Smiths can watch out over the brook from virtually any room in the house, observing cormorants, cranes, plovers, blue herons, and egrets.

In the winter, they spend holidays sitting around the fireplace. This summer, their daughter—whose claim to fame is visiting Ocean Park when she was just four days old—will bring her newborn twins for the first time.

“There’s absolutely nothing that gets in our way of going to Maine. It’s just a sense of calm, peace, and family,” says Kathy. “We love everything about it. If we could, in a heartbeat, we would have the same house up in Ottawa.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

SMALL FOOTPRINT,

BIG IMPACT

ON THE YORK COAST, AN ARTISTIC COUPLE BUILDS AN ECO-FRIENDLY, SOLAR-POWERED HOME READY FOR FAMILY MEMORIES

by Katy Kelleher // Photography by Trent Bell

In their cheerful kitchen (above), Nick and his son, Leo, enjoy some father-son time. “You can see and feel the attention to detail,” says Andy Herbine of Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders. “The house is well thought out so you never feel a draft over your shoulder, or like you’re too exposed.” The light fixtures are from West Elm. The living room (opposite) boasts vaulted ceilings. The couple plans to add more plants and art to the wall above the stairs.

W

hen Nick and Molly LaVecchia started planning their first home, they were faced with a constraint that limits many young families: a tight budget.

Nick, a lifestyle photographer who focuses on the ocean and surf culture, and Molly, a garden designer and landscaper, were looking for a space that would reflect their eco-friendly lifestyle while providing space for their young family to grow. Fortunately, they had several things that would serve them well: vision, creativity, and a nice plot of land, courtesy of Molly’s parents.

Nick and Molly live just a stone’s throw from her family’s sprawling old farmhouse on a long country road in York. The setup suits them well (particularly because of the close relationship Molly’s parents can have with their grandson).

“Molly grew up on this property,” Nick says.

“One day, her dad said, ‘If you guys ever want to throw a house up in the field, you can.’”

Molly loved her childhood in southern Maine, which she spent exploring the fields, woods, and seashore. “When we were kids, my mom would slather us up with sunscreen and let us walk to the beach,” she remembers. Molly and her two sisters would stop by the fruit stand for a bag of cherries before heading out, returning only after they were tired or hungry for lunch.

“The line starts to blur between inside and outside,” she says. “I’m grateful to my parents for that—I hope I can do that with Leo.”

Their new house takes cues from Molly’s childhood, Nick’s profession, and the couple’s longtime interest in preserving and celebrating the natural world. Featuring large windows oriented to promote passive solar heating, green building materials such as locally sourced hemlock beams and long-lasting, Maine-milled white cedar, and a contemporary, minimalist design, the 1,000-square-foot house also showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the team at Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders in Portland. Although the couple approached the company with a restrictive budget of $200,000, Caleb Johnson agreed to take on the project because, as he explains, “Nick showed me right away that he had an interest in making a small, high-quality, and energy-efficient home.”

The entire house is just 16 feet wide, yet inside it feels much more spacious, thanks to the open floor plan, high ceilings, and strategically placed windows. It did, however, take time to sell the couple on such a narrow home. When they were in the midst of the planning stages, Nick remembers coming out to the field, measuring out 16 feet of space, and laying tape down on the ground. “I would put a chair in the grass and look around, trying to imagine it. I’d ask Molly, ‘Can we really do this?’” he recalls. But Johnson kept reminding him that 16 feet was a fine width for a room. “The rooms are actually comparatively large,” Johnson says.

“The entire house is only ever one room wide— MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 113

Molly planted a Japanese maple before moving into the house (above). “She has a very clear vision of how the landscaping will come together,” Nick says. “She wanted to have a focal point for the front yard.” The red-leaved tree fits the bill.

“We can watch the sunrise and the moonrise from our bed,” Nick says of the large windows in the owners’ bedroom (opposite). The interior window above the bed opens to the living room’s vaulted ceiling, which allows light to pour in from the room’s west-facing windows.

we just stacked rooms on top of each other instead of putting them next to each other, like you might see in a typical Cape house.”

The streamlined floor plan packs a lot into the first floor: a laundry room, storage closet, bathroom, office, and openconcept kitchen–dining–living space. The second floor features the couple’s bedroom, another bathroom, and a small bedroom for Leo. Despite its small footprint, the house feels roomy, thanks to conscious design choices made on every level, from the basic architecture to the interior decor. There are clean white walls, a vaulted ceiling in the living area, and exposed wood beams in the open kitchen (made from pieces of reclaimed wood connected by a single scarf joint)—all harmonious elements that contribute to an overall sense of unassuming elegance. “The entire house is very simple,” says Andy Herbine, construction manager on the project and managing partner at Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders. “But it is the simplicity of it that makes it beautiful.

As designers and builders, we strive to create moments in our houses where, although you may not be able to verbalize it, you experience comfort, wonder, and awe.”

Many of the elements that contribute aesthetically to the house also serve practical purposes. The polished concrete floor, which looks sleek and modern underfoot, functions as a heating source. “Concrete slabs used to be something people would cover up and hide,” says Johnson. “But in the homes we build, it’s structure, finish, and a heating source, all rolled into one.”

Sunlight streams in from the south-facing patio windows, hitting the concrete slab floor, and over the course of the day, the floor 114 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

heats to an even temperature. At night it lets that retained heat slowly flow into the air. The house is tightly insulated with a combination of spray foam (installed on the roof), fiberglass batting, and recycled newsprint (installed in the walls), which ensures that little of this energy is lost through seepage. “If you can make the sun work for you, and it’s free, why wouldn’t you do it?” Nick says.

In addition, Nick and Molly decided to install solar panels on their roof, purchased from ReVision Energy in Portland.

“Everything is run on electric in this house,” says Nick. “The hot water, the heat, the lighting—it was a no-brainer.” Mini-split heat pumps provide additional heating for days when the sunlight isn’t quite strong enough, and mechanical ventilation helps the house retain heat while allowing for air circulation with the outside.

Another feature that helps optimize solar power is the sunshades installed around the exterior of the house. “Since the sun sits lower on the horizon in the winter, the shades don’t hamper it from coming in and heating the concrete floor,” explains John Haskell of Company Nineteen in Portland, which did the rough and finish carpentry on the home, including the sunshades. “But in the summer, when the sun is higher in the sky, they provide shade to help keep the interior from getting too hot.”

While Nick and Molly love living in this smartly designed home, they still view it as a work in progress. The couple admit that they are still working out the interior design scheme, figuring out what photographs go where, what furniture will best fit their lifestyle, and where to fit their many books. (They plan to construct a large bookshelf in the living room, which will take up the entire wall

The house is extremely energy efficient and runs entirely on solar power. Low-energy LED lights are recessed into the ceiling and provide extra illumination on dark winter nights. “We never have to turn the lights on during the day,” Nick says. “With all the glass in the house, we can really make the most of sunlight.”

Solar shades were installed above the sliding glass doors to help keep the house cool in the summer. The couple worked with ReVision Energy in Portland to finance their solar panel installation. “We just finished our first year with the solar panels,” Nick says. “We were net zero. That’s a big deal.”

and require a rolling library-style ladder.)

“The decor has evolved as we’ve lived in the space,” says Molly. “I have always loved the stark lines of the house, but I’m also trying to bring in some softness.” As a gardener, one of her first impulses was to bring in some houseplants. Evidence of her green thumb can be seen on nearly every surface, from windowsills to the kitchen counter, where potted ZZ plants, ivy, bamboo, and pencil cactuses enjoy the abundant natural light.

In the summer, the couple likes to throw open the windows and doors, using the patio and garden as an extension of their living space. Molly has designed and planted a sprawling vegetable garden, complete with kale, chard, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, eggplant, and “every herb you could possibly want for cooking,” as Nick puts it. The resulting bounty keeps the family well fed. “We don’t go to the store much in the summer,” Nick says. “We eat every single meal out of the garden, and we get honey from our bees.” Since Molly is a vegetarian and the primary cook, they tend to consume mostly plantbased meals, which suits Nick just fine.

“When my friends come up from New York City to surf, they’re just blown away,” he says. “We don’t go out to eat—we get our whole salad right here.”

“I started planting the vegetable garden before the house was done,” Molly says. Every year, for Leo’s birthday, she plants fruiting trees and shrubs as a gift to her son. So far, she has planted a hedge of blueberry bushes and a single cherry tree. But the garden, like the house, isn’t quite complete yet. “It’s been a slow process. I have to keep reminding myself that none of this will happen overnight,” Molly says. But homes, like gardens, grow best with patience and love, and those are two things this creative family has in abundance. MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

AT PORTLAND’S MOUGALIAN RUGS SHOWROOM, YOU’LL FIND HUNDREDS OF SOFT TEXTILES, FROM PUNCHY CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS TO CLASSIC HANDKNOTTED PERSIAN RUGS

B

ack in the 1970s, Mougalian Rugs mostly sold one kind of textile: the heavy wool, blue-and-red traditional Persian Oriental rug. You know, the kind of rug you’ve seen in stately mansions and on library floors (although some of those are likely knockoffs of painstakingly handcrafted originals). These days, the industry has evolved, says Randall Mougalian, who co-owns the company with his wife, Beth. “Trends are changing constantly now,” he says. Interior design styles, he explains, shift quickly, and colors come in and out of fashion, and thanks 124 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

to the proliferation of design websites, his customers are more tuned in than ever.

Fortunately, this nimble business has been able to go with the flow. Inside the showroom, located in a large warehouse-like space in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood, rugs of all colors, sizes, and patterns line the walls and the floors. There are contemporary geometric rugs in sage green and powder blue, intricately patterned paisley rugs in light gray and pale pink, and even a rug adorned with a growling orange tiger. As I dig through the soft piles, I see every color of the rainbow,

2. A view of the showroom’s many offerings. On the back wall hang two distinctive rugs: on the right is an Arts and Crafts–style rug that was woven in Nepal, and on the left is a Persian Kashkuli.

HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT RUG FOR YOUR ROOM : To avoid what Brett calls the “postage stamp effect,” make sure you size your room’s primary rug properly. “When it comes to sizing a rug, we tell customers to buy a rug that’s big enough that your feet will land on it when seated on a couch,” he says.

“You don’t want the rug to start a foot away from the furniture.”

u

Properly caring for your rug is incredibly important. Spot clean stains with club soda (blot, don’t scrub) and always use a vacuum with a beater bar.

“But be careful of the fringe,” warns Brett.

u

Try mixing styles. Traditional Persians can pair with contemporary patterns, but to make the room feel seamless, Randall suggests using similar color palettes.

u

Consider designing a room “from the bottom up,” says Randall. Start with a rug, then choose colors for wall paint and furniture. “Paint colors are easy to change, but you might have the same rug for 40 years.”

from emerald green to mustard yellow (and, of course, the distinctive dark reds and blues of those old-school Oriental rugs, which remain popular even in today’s fastpaced design world).

“I don’t care what anyone says, you can’t really see color online—not like you can in person,” Beth says as we flip through the rugs.

“This kind of rust color looks red on some computer screens,” adds Brett Mougalian. He’s the next generation of the business, and he’s been working alongside his parents for years.

He currently works in sales and customer service, the latter being a particularly important aspect of the Mougalian business.

When asked what sets the company apart, Brett is quick to answer: “You can go anywhere in the country, and you won’t get the service we provide here.” The Mougalian team makes house calls to help customers measure their space, choose ideal colors, and even pick out wall paint that will go with their rug. They even deliver rugs to your door for trial runs. If you like a rug (or two, or three), Brett will bring it to your house and let you live with it for a few days, so you can see how it looks under different lighting conditions.

“My grandparents have always done that, and it’s never been a service we charge for,” he says. “All rugs change under natural light.

Sometimes, a rug you love in the shop will look completely different once you take it home.”

Brett also steers customers toward rugs that work for their lifestyles. For example, homeowners with dogs and small children are better off with a rug woven from wool rather than silk, because wool is more durable and easier to clean. If the rug is going into a hightraffic area, both Brett and Randall advise staying away from lighter weight textiles, a category that includes kilim rugs. “We’ve only recently started carrying kilims,” Randall says.

“We never liked the quality of them before, but now we’re getting much heavier and better made kilims.” With larger knots and thicker weaves, these formerly lightweight designs finally pass muster with the Mougalian crew— although they still recommend putting these rugs in areas that get less foot traffic, like under a dining room table or a bed, which can help anchor them in place.

This kind of relationship-building advice has been built into the business model since day one. As a locally owned family business, there’s nothing the Mougalians treasure more than long-term clients. Brett recalls one woman who visited the store in January. “She had bought all her rugs from my grandfather 40 years ago,” he says. “And she came back with her daughter, looking for rugs for her first home.” MH+D

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

NICOLE WOLF

Porthole, 2015, photograph, various sizes “I have an affinity for the sea and everything that lives within it. I come from generations of men and women who were born near and thrived off what came out of the ocean. My father was a commercial scuba diver for 35 years, and I remember that he would bring home pieces of past lives that he found hidden on the ocean floor. As a child I was always fascinated by how weathered they were, yet still preserved. While the years of tide and salt had decayed the surface of the materials, the story was still there underneath—living and breathing as if it were created yesterday.

“My series Sunk is a collection of images of artifacts retrieved from the ocean floor off the coast of Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick, Canada. I wanted to photograph these artifacts in a way that was nostalgic, leaving unanswered questions about the journey and history of each piece. My hope is to suspend the viewer in the juxtaposition between preservation and decay— emphasizing the strength of history and the fragility of life.”

ART SPOTLIGHT

HOLLY L. SMITH

All Washed Ashore, 2017, oil on canvas, 24” x 18” “For me, the coastline of Maine offers a banquet of inspiration. Traveling to Maine’s remote islands gives me the opportunity to disconnect from modern conveniences and create a sanctuary in which to create my artwork. During a short walk along a rocky shore, carrying oil paints and an easel, I encounter a multitude of intriguing views and compositions. Plein air painting is a meditative experience as I capture the light and memory of the day. These expeditions make me stop and appreciate what is often ignored, such as textures, colors, and light, all of which give Maine its splendor.

“The oil painting All Washed Ashore is the result of such adventures. It illustrates my yearly trek to Eagle Island and daily explorations there. Walking the shoreline feels like a scavenger hunt in which I may discover a perfectly bleached mussel shell that has bounced around in the ocean waves for many seasons, a rare piece of blue sea glass, or a smooth gray stone with a flawless white ring. These treasures are distinct to Maine’s coast, and the way the tide collects them creates a uniquely natural composition.”

JULIA EINSTEIN

Yellow Flower, 2016, oil on linen, 40” x 30” “I put onto my canvas what I love: the way light enters a space, how color changes from inside to out. Transparency, reflection, and light inspire an ongoing series of mine. My studio is filled with flowers gathered, posed, and painted as portraits. The flowers sit on a stage lit by sunlight that flows through the window. Bouquets are composed to create airy compositions on the canvas with large open spaces for me to paint glasslike surfaces filled with flickers of brushwork.

In this painting, pale colors emphasize the flowers’ leggy stems, the painted reflections in the water, and the shapes of shadows. A horizon line creates a sense of an interior space. I love the quick capture of a flower’s gesture in a bouquet arranged with a bit of wildness. I select flowers from a garden rather than a shop, and their elegant lines inspire me to paint from life instead of a photograph or memory. When I paint, I stand in front of them just as a viewer stands before the finished canvas.

“In a career of ‘artist as teacher,’ my work inside and outside of the studio starts with an interest in creating a connection between maker and viewer. I’m inspired to make paintings that change the way one sees my subject, surprise my viewers, and share my delight in color.”

JAMES MULLEN

Painted Tondo VII—Prouts Neck, 2016, oil on canvas, 30” x 40” “My work is centered on painting landscapes, often based on photographs and sketches I have made on-site. This is a continuation of a body of work that I have been building over the last two decades dealing with depictions of the environment. Recently I have refined my focus to examine iconic sites belonging to the lexicon of the nineteenthcentury American landscape. These sites include Kaaterskill Falls and Lake George in New York and Mount Desert Island.

I am augmenting my research by also focusing on notable works of the late-twentieth-century Land Art movement, which created site-specific works out of the actual landscape rather than depicting it. All of these artistic destination landscapes have often been understood through mechanical reproduction, like the dissemination of engravings in the nineteenth century and photography in the twentieth century.

In my new body of work, I visit these sites and treat them as primary sources to research and develop. I see many of these sites as iconic condensers of social and natural memory, and I am interested in redefining them through paintings created from primary observation at those locations.”

CLAIRE BIGBEE

Smooth Sailing, 2016, acrylic and oil on canvas, 24” x 24” “My painting journey began when I moved to Maine at age 12.

I felt disconnected and uneasy due to the move. I was drawn to the nearby river marshes for the access they gave me to a spiritual realm that eased my anxieties. It is those mystic sensations that I strive to capture in my painting. I experience a nervous urgency before painting my first impression of a view. I feel like liquid, hovering between my intellectual mind and instinct. I work quickly and don’t organize my palette. I mix colors right on the canvas with large brushes that broaden the proportions and values. I love that initial white-heat moment of inspiration as my bold colors confront the softer brushwork and create tension and harmony. My compositions juxtapose the near and far and capture various natural shapes that evoke atmosphere and a sense of presence.

“I strive for simplicity rather than complexity through observation, editing, and balancing contiguous colors. In my paintings, I look for the feeling of the overall tone or vibrational glow. On location, the grandeur of nature communicates with me, and everything comes into focus. My landscapes are manifestations of my authentic self in which I don’t question who I am. My experience of painting is a spiritual transformation, and each painting carries a piece of my soul within it.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

ahlov Ipcar’s first solo exhibition was held in 1939 at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) when she was just 21 years old. Almost 70 years later, the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) reexamines her past with a new exhibition, Dahlov Ipcar: Creative Growth.

Featuring more than 60 works drawn from the original MOMA show, Creative Growth explores the early development of one of Maine’s most celebrated artists. From creative crayon drawings to the ceramic figurines that cemented her status

as an eminent animalier, Ipcar’s intuition for color and pattern threads throughout her early artworks, as do the themes of regionalism and social realism.

The installation is made even more poignant given Ipcar’s recent passing, notes Michael Mansfield, executive director and chief curator at OMAA. “The exhibition has assumed new meaning now,” says Mansfield. “We are deeply honored to be presenting her work at this moment.” On the following pages, MH+D presents a selection of works in the exhibition, which runs through June 28.

Russian Squadron, New York Harbor 1863

W. K. Gilbert

The Russian Squadron sailed

into New York Harbor at a crucial time in September of 1863...

Britain and France were on the verge of intervening in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy.

The mighty Russian presence deterred the Anglo-French from invading, and the Union was saved.

“A VIEW TO SEA” Not just an idle phrase, but a real experience. The house was designed by an architect in 2006 to take full advantage of a never to be duplicated site, which was once the location of a vintage summer cottage. Located on Capitol Island off the coast of Southport, on the Boothbay peninsula, this 1875 summer colony is reached by its own small bridge, and is steeped in the memories of several generations of families sharing their halcyon days of growing up, and old, in the cherished environment of Maine summers.

The amenities to residents of “Capitol” include a tennis court, recreation center, large sandy beaches, marina and two docks. The house, perched high on the rocks affords 300 degree views of ocean and islands. The three stories are perfect for privacy and family gatherings. Three bedrooms, and two baths on the first floor. Large kitchen and living room on the second, and the master suite with cathedral ceilings and bath, on the third. An elevator and stairs serve all three floors. Two large open decks, and many panoramic windows, afford a true feeling of the Maine coast. Abundant wildlife, swaying sea grass, privacy and convenience. All here! New to the market. $1,450,000.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE

T

his story-and-a-half cottage illustrates a common design problem for properties with north-facing views: how to bring sunlight into the principal living spaces? In this case, the living area and bedrooms are strung along the north side of the house to capture views of Stoningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crockett Cove filtered through a lovely stand of spruce, while the support spaces face south. The solution uses the stairwell as a light scoop that allows the winter sun to penetrate deep into the center of the house. The stairwell also creates a chimney effect for natural cooling in the summer by drawing breezes across the ground floor and venting them through high windows. MH+D
