Penobscot Gable House

Coast Cottage captures the spirit of old summer houses on the Maine coast, at the same time rugged but refined, understated but well-appointed.

Lantern House is a modern interpretation of the New England vernacular: taut, simple forms with pitched metal roofs and white-painted wood siding. The glassy, lantern-like entry, with its prow-shaped canopy, signals the open, expansive space within.

The main cabin and its outbuildings embody the simple life, with exposed studs and rafters. The outbuildings have no electricity or running water. Living in Snout House is a pure summer experience, close to nature. Simple but whimsical decorative elements add to the delight.

With Medieval overtones, this shingled house is anchored by a great hall of reclaimed wood, with a musicians’ gallery at one end.
