The interior details are simple, elegant, and are understated to display fine craftsmanship throughout the home. The design and finishes are not pretentious - but exactly what you would expect to find in an accomplished Maine artist’s home. Each piece of artwork carefully informed the selections that would highlight the art and contribute to the personality of each space. © Darren Setlow Photography

The St. Andrews was carefully crafted to offer large open living areas on narrow lots. When you walk into the St. Andrews, you will be wowed by the grand two-story celling just beyond the foyer. Continuing into the home, the first floor alone offers over 2,200 square feet of living space and features the master bedroom, guest bedroom and bath, a roomy den highlighted by French doors, and a separate family foyer just off the garage. Also on the first floor is the spacious kitchen which offers a large walk-in pantry, adjacent dining room, and flush island top that overlooks the great room and oversized, covered lanai. The lavish master suite features two oversized walk-in closets, dual vanities, a roomy walk-in shower, and a beautiful garden tub. The second-floor adds just over 600 square feet of flexible space with a large rear-facing loft and covered balcony as well as a third bedroom and bath.

Ipe and Cedar create the bones of this space. Above the gym below these offer fireproof and lightweight design materials. Sculptures, planters, hot tub and whispy light plantings that catch any available breeze with some bright fabrics make an otherwise still and shady space alive.

For a family that loves hosting large gatherings, this expansive home is a dream; boasting two unique entertaining spaces, each expanding onto outdoor-living areas, that capture its magnificent views. The sheer size of the home allows for various ‘experiences’; from a rec room perfect for hosting game day and an eat-in wine room escape on the lower-level, to a calming 2-story family greatroom on the main. Floors are connected by freestanding stairs, framing a custom cascading-pendant light, backed by a stone accent wall, and facing a 3-story waterfall. A custom metal art installation, templated from a cherished tree on the property, both brings nature inside and showcases the immense vertical volume of the house. Photography: Paul Grdina

Completed in 2017, this single family home features matte black & brass finishes with hexagon motifs. We selected light oak floors to highlight the natural light throughout the modern home designed by architect Ryan Rodenberg. Joseph Builders were drawn to blue tones so we incorporated it through the navy wallpaper and tile accents to create continuity throughout the home, while also giving this pre-specified home a distinct identity. --- Project designed by the Atomic Ranch featured modern designers at Breathe Design Studio.
