Escape to Maine!

One of my all time favorite houses we designed!

This stunning summer house is situated in Hulls Cove, Maine a mile from the entrance to Acadia National Park. The cliffside setting along the Atlantic Ocean is breathtaking. Sunlight pours into the Living Room through the custom Marvin awning style windows. The blonde nature of the Birch floors pairs nicely with the golden teak millwork. Our design intention was to embrace the authenticity of Maine throughout the project.

Deer Isle Granite was selected for the fireplace surround and each stone was artistically hand edited for the perfect placement. Can you see how the granite cantilevers beyond the glass? It is really an incredible sight to look through the windows beyond the fireplace. The custom designed fireplace screen shows a Maine scene with a loon, lobster and pine tree. I love the Navajo Kirk Brummel fabric upholstered on the chairs. Elizabeth Eakins, a New England native, hand loomed the tattersall wool rug in the living space. We custom designed several cherry pieces of furniture with Thomas Moser, a well known Maine furniture maker. The lines of the pieces are simple and clean just like the architecture of the house.

The world comes alive on the coast of Maine as we sit in the Weatherend teak rocking chairs watching the sunrise as the Captains of the lobster boats pull in their traps for the day. I can't think of a more beautiful place that I'd rather be!
