This project involved the renovation of and addition to a circa 1900 coastal summer cottage in Boothbay Harbor Maine. The owners wanted to make necessary repairs and updates to allow for three season use, while still retaining the original charm of the cottage.
A four season master quarters was added to the existing cottage. And, the glass porch with spectacular views into Boothbay Harbor connects the old cottage with the new retreat while also providing natural ventilation to both spaces.
The existing cottage improvements included; a new foundation, structural steel, and rigid insulation on the exterior in order to maintain the character of the interiors. The existing cottage also received a new cedar shingle siding and roof, new windows, and some interior improvements including a new kitchen.
This Maine cottage was completed in 2009 by Whitten Architects. I hope you feel inspired by its peaceful grounds and interiors.
