Cove End

Nestled on a south-facing, sloped site overlooking a bay in midcoast Maine, a 2,000 square-foot, two-story home makes the most of its small site and the stunning views surrounding it. The simple and compact building form, reflecting the classic, restrained midcoast peaked roof vernacular surrounding it, combined with an energy-efficient shell, results in a house that is an exceptionally comfortable sanctuary in a rough-and-tumble coastal environment. photo by Trent Bell
