One of the first houses to be constructed along a new cul-de-sac in a coastal community, this house is about bringing the spirit of the beach to the home. Designed to celebrate the traditional coastal Maine summer cottages, this house for a young family on a narrow subdivision lot honors the ocean waves, vernacular materials of stone and shingles in a fun, compact and delightful play of masses, gables, eaves and dormers. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage are intricately woven together in this deceptively casual “coastal” home.
