Maine Modern

Well we have been woefully behind in making updates. Some work has been happening around the deck area and we will post photos of that shortly. In the meantime, we would like to direct you to the storefront for architecture maine's website. The ? is spearheaded by Falmouth architect Carol Wilson, FAIA and promises to be a great forum for architecture in Maine. Their first exhibition is entitled: Maine Modern: 50 Years of Maine Modern Architecture. Amazingly, our house was chosen as one of 28 projects around the state to take part in this exhibition. We stand humbly in great company, with many great projects. We will try not to disappoint. If you click on the link above you will see photos of three of the projects in the exhibition, including our house!

So we invite all of you that will be in the Portland area to attend the opening on Friday October 1st, which corresponds with First Friday in Portland. The show will run through the month of October and hours for the exhibition space are on sfa's website. Each project will be represented by 3 boards and a model, which is perhaps the most fascinating part of the exhibition. It will interesting to see all of these projects in 3 dimensional representation. Our model was built at a painstaking 1/4" scale and resulted in only minor loss of blood. Anne helped with the construction of the site as well. Look for photos in the upcoming issue of Maine Home + Design. I will post our boards shortly, as soon as I finish them.

So please, stop by and see the show if you are in the neighborhood. My firm, Elliott + Elliott will be represented, as will my former firm Peter Forbes, FAIA Architects.
