With a commanding view of the mouth of the Kennebec River and Seguin Island, this house sit 120′ above the water. It has the simple form of local vernacular buildings and is composed of two main volumes separated by a covered porch at ground level and an open deck above. A stair tower marks the entry to the main house. The open plan combines the living, dining and kitchen all offering expansive views of the river below to the south and east.

The materials are durable and left to weather naturally and include white and red cedar siding, douglas fir posts and beams and a steel roof.
