Sound Cottage

A.I.A. Connecticut Design Award, Honorable Mention Quarry House

Quarry 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.

While fitting in with local Shingle Style and Colonial Revival traditions, Harbor View is organized for modern living, with the kitchen at the center, open to the living/dining room and waterside porch.

This small house with a large presence draws from sources far and near: ancient Greek Doric temples, Palladio’s ‘Redentore’ and Villa Barbaro, Peter Harrison’s Redwood Library, Jefferson’s Monticello, Asher Benjamin’s carpenter pattern books, and local Greek Revival building traditions of Concord.
