Wee Scot
Coastal Maine
Located in a cove along the North Atlantic coast of Maine, this project realizes the clients’ vision of an accessible home, retreat, and working artist studio. The family has deep ties to this special place, many generations have lived and vacationed along its shores. For everyone to get together, the design had to be inviting to all ages. Three buildings, Wee Scot, Cove House and Tree House, are interconnected by pathways and offer different accommodations to fit a family of any size. Each is connected to the land and light through well placed windows and doors that flow out and engage with the natural surroundings. The buildings encourage family gatherings while providing separation for privacy. They effortlessly house and support many, while remaining intimate enough for one. The cabins are a cornerstone for the next generation to build lasting memories far into the future.
