Abstract

A dramatic new shorefront house in Phippsburg flouts nearly all the conventions associated with the distinctive summer cottages built along the Maine coast a hundred years ago. Designed by Boston-based architect Jeremiah Eck, the modern, four-season, 2,700-square-foot residence presents two very different faces to the sea and land. The overall effect, front and back, is of the building rising organically out of the living stone.
