Inspired by local fishing shacks and wharf buildings dotting the coast of Maine, this retreat interweaves large glazed openings with restrained and simple taut-skinned New England shingled cottages. This skin is incised to open views to the sea beyond and relies on light steel framing and thin braces to preserve the simple forms eroded toward sweeping views.

TRANSITIONAL - The main ‘wharf’ cottage seen here extends over the tidal salt pond below with a structural steel frame anchored to the pond’s granite basin and contains communal living spaces: kitchen, dining, and living rooms. Linking interior space to the views beyond is a cantilevered deck which appears to float above the water. The flanking cottages not seen here contain private sleeping quarters and frame views to the surrounding moss covered forest.

Also on the design and construction team: Architect Ellen Weinstein, builders John Rufty and Randy Beard, and landscape architects Thomas Skolnicki and Derek Blaylock Malecha’s design picks up on the main campus’ traditional redbrick architecture through the predominantly brick exterior. Gables, chimneys and a symmetrical composition combine with minimal details to hint at the way the house balances the traditional and modern. “Familiar modern” is the phrase Malecha uses to describe the structure. He looked to traditional houses of the South for inspiration, picking up on their gabled rooflines, hearths (the residence has nine of them, with seven chimneys!).
Given that stucco is basically plaster for exterior uses, it is therefore the perfect canvas for color. White may be common, based on historical precedents in modern architecture, but houses that respond to local concerns — especially climate and the effects of the sun — may benefit from some sort of color.
REVIEW FOR RUDD HOUSE - Or go with a vertical accent. Here, a bit of black works to highlight the vertical elements. Larger homes that are clad in one solid color and material tend to look monolithic, so I like how this facade is broken up through the clever use of color and different materials.

This looks like a poured in place concrete wall where wooden planks are the forming material of choice for cast in place vertical concrete walls. Large mold walls would be erected on site out of wooden boards, the concrete would then be poured in the mold, when the boards were removed the result it left was the recognizable wood grain texture, knots included, in the cast concrete surface. CONCRETE BOARD FORM TILES - INTERESTING This look is what inspired our Concrete Board Form Tile, it used to be that if you wanted this look you had to pour in place and/or have this in place at time of original construction. Now with our tile which is 8' x 6" x 1/2" you can achieve this look easily, any tile setter can install these. Clients have been using our tile for feature walls, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, anywhere they want the poured in place concrete look. Each one of our tiles is unique, there is no repeat pattern of any kind to add to the authentic poured in place look. I have attached some photos of some installs. We ship world wide, feel free to contact me for more information. lise@2stone.ca
