A nicely modern 1,500 sf cottage on the shores of the tidal New Meadows River replaces a delapited ‘A’ frame. The restrictons on this lot forced a small footprint and clever layout to design a two-bedroom home and still find outdoor spaces like decks and porches. The clients especially like the second floor deck off the primary bedroom.

This small cottage will be inexpensive to operate as the double-studded walls, triple-glazed winodws, and blower door goal of 1.0 ACH 50 will keep energy costs down.
