The author, June Donenfeld talked to the design and construction team and used the beautiful photos by Darren Setlow Photography, to supplement her story.

The clients have moved in to Foreside and are still unpacking. The photographer, Bronson Guimond, was able to take photographs while we wait for landscaping to be installed later this year.

After a couple years of MUBEC meetings and TAG meetings, and as of April 7, Maine has officially adopted an updated energy and building code.

The arched ceiling of the entertainment room has taken shape at The Gables in China. Sitting above the antique car collection, this room will have views out towards the meadow, as well as a barn we designed for another client. The great room will open to a patio with outdoor kitchen and pool. The double thick, staggered stud wall system and triple glazed openings will make this a very comfortable and energy efficient home.

I told you about David's virtual hole-in-one last month, and this month I get to tell you that David and Tom won the two-man best ball indoor golf championship at the Bath Golf Club. If the rain ever stops they will begin to play outside. Also, congratulations to Tom for finally being in the DMA newsletter. Tom, dreams do come true!

A very small buildable area along the Kennebec River in Bath is solved by breaking this house into three main parts connected by green (meaning actual plantings) roofs. These blocks each have different views of the water and a level of privacy towards the public road.
