We designed this vacation cottage retreat in Camden, Maine, for a sophisticated couple who divide their time the rest of the year between New York and Boston. Consisting of a 3,300 square foot barn-style cottage, a separate yoga and mediation studio, and a garage and bicycle shed, the three structures form a compound organized around a small courtyard. Three sets of French doors open into the Cottage’s lower-level entry hall, filling the space with light from the garden courtyard just outside. The lower level also contains a mudroom, laundry and storage rooms and a charming guest suite, while the upper level holds all of the entertaining spaces and the master suite.
Schafer & Company Architects created a magical getaway with all the amenities, an old world cabin feel and a lovely colour palette that creates a serene vibe. Landscape Architect: Mohr & Seredin; Photography: Eric Piasecki; Styling: Helen Crowther.
