For eighteen months, Knickerbocker Group worked with a Connecticut-based architect to integrate a new contemporary clapboard home that features uninterrupted views of the ocean and an open floor plan to showcase the homeowner’s extensive collection of European antiques.

When purchased, the property housed three original buildings: an 18th-century cape—which was relocated on the property and nestled among pines—a barn, and a chicken shed. Common on old Maine farms, these buildings were not sited for views but for the functional, operational efficiency of the former dairy farm.  The rolling pasturelands afforded a perfect opportunity to construct a new 7,800 square-foot home among the original buildings, designed to incorporate both old and new.
