"Perched atop a wooded slope, The Roost residence overlooks one of Maine's lakes with filtered views of nearby mountains. The 2,520-square-foot house was designed as a year-round retreat for a large extended family."
"To maximize the use of available footprint-the home sits within a conservation easement and the buildable footprint was severely limited-a two-story porch was designed on one end of the building volume to provide several overlapping features including a sheltered entry, a screen porch that expands interior living spaces, and an upstairs sleeping porch all within one simple architectural move."
Perched on a wooded slope, The Roost overlooks a Maine lake and offers filtered mountain views. The 2,520-square-foot residence functions as a year-round retreat for a large extended family. The site is constrained by a conservation easement that severely limited the buildable footprint. A two-story porch was placed at one end of the building volume to maximize program within the allowed footprint. The porch serves multiple overlapping functions: it creates a sheltered entry, provides a screened porch that expands the interior living areas, and supplies an upstairs sleeping porch, all achieved through a single simple architectural move.
