Studio-Workshop on a Hill / ElliottArchitects

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This project is a direct response to the history of the region as well as its surroundings. It transforms what was originally a summer home into a year-round residence and, in doing so, adds uses that allow for this change, specifically a studio and workshops. Using language derived from New England agrarian architecture, formal archetypes and materials such as corrugated metal siding and open-joint rainscreen allude to barns, grain silos, and drying sheds.

House on Deep Cove / ElliottArchitects

Located on the eastern side of Grand Manan, a small Canadian island off the coast of Maine, this house is inspired by the shingled smokehouses that were once fairly pervasive, a remnant of the region's fishing heritage. The site features a spectacular, south-facing rocky cove with ruins of an old garden that had a robust, anchoring presence. Challenges included neighboring cottages close to the building site and severe northeasterly winter winds.

House on a Wharf / ElliottArchitects

This new residence on a small coastal harbor occupies roughly the same footprint as the original building that had stood since the early 20th century. The old structure had many uses over the years. In addition to servicing the steamers arriving along the coast, it at various times functioned as an apartment house, a laundromat, and a summer home.

House in Town / ElliottArchitects

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Originally built in 1849 by Architect Henry Austin, the original residence of Moses Perkins is characteristic of 19th-century rural Maine architecture. The home consists of three components: the main house, an unfinished barn, and an ell connecting the other two pieces. At some point in the 20th century, the kitchen on the first floor of the ell was enlarged and an addition was appended onto the barn and ell.

Old Yacht Club / Elliott Architects

Anna Dumitru — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 16:00:00 +0000

An abandoned Yacht Club, poised at the edge of the bay, sat derelict for years, all while bearing witness to the relentless coastal climate of Maine. Built in 1919, it endured a series of interventions after the Club relocated in 1946. This resulted in the removal of much of the interior fabric and all that remained intact was the original Club Room. It would require the right temperament and commitment to restore its historical memory while modernizing the early 20th-century structure.

House over the Water / Elliott Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 18:00:00 +0000

This house defines the edge of a precipitous embankment, one that drops steeply down to Blue Hill Bay. The environment, though bold, is extremely fragile and heavily susceptible to erosion. Anchored by a series of piers pinned to ledge beneath the beach, the house is elevated above the ground and flood plain, allowing the terrain to be stabilized below. A series of seawalls define a terrace while providing a means of adjusting the inclination of the bank.

House on an Island / Elliott Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Located on a small island off the coast of Maine, this project began as a renovation. Initially, our clients hoped that an existing building on their property could be rehabilitated: a structure that accompanied the 100 year old farmhouse that has been their summer home for close to 40 years. The small, hip-roofed, asphalt shingle-clad building had been uninhabited and neglected for decades, and was in a state of disrepair. A new structure would more easily meet their needs but needed to remain rooted in the traditional style of the region. Collectively we arrived at a concept that is a modern interpretation of New England farm vernacular and establishes a hierarchical relationship between the prominent white clapboard farmhouse and the less adorned, shingled outbuildings.
