Drift House

A client ready for a new start purchased a plot of land in her favorite place in the country: midcoast Maine. Envisioning a cozy hideaway in a friendly community, kayaking and paddleboarding after work, and hosting dinners against a backdrop of vibrant leaves, she worked with our team to design her dream home. We wanted to bring the outside in and create a refuge. Our goal was to create a modern, warm, and inviting home by capturing the colors of the water alongside vignettes of the foliage.
