Whitten Architects completely refreshed this dilapidated cottage and created an energy-efficient collection of buildings for living, gathering, and connecting with the small island community in Casco Bay, Maine.

This home is nestled on a peninsula along Casco Bay in the town of Harpswell, a picturesque fishing town made up of small islands renowned for its natural beauty and maritime charm.

The homeowner desired a home that sat well with the modest neighboring dwellings yet embraced contemporary living.
