Perched on the rocky, west facing coast of a Maine peninsula, this 2 bedroom home was designed to maximize both views of the harbor and solar gain for passive heating and a capable photo-voltaic array. By orienting the house diagonally to the coastline and interior elements toward the southwest corner, the home is able to have natural light throughout the day without a compromise in views from the interior. A covered breezeway connects the house to the garage and serves as the primary entrance, offering occupants and guests a view of the water before entering. Additionally, the breezeway enables a 30 degree shift in orientation to the south for the solar panels mounted to the garage roof, maximizing their efficiency.  Designed while employed at Fine Lines Construction.
