| This residence, completed in 2006, sits on a
ridge 600 feet above Camden Harbor, with long views over Penobscot
Bay to Blue Hill and North Haven. The plan was arranged to capture
this extraordinary panorama. Two wings are joined by an entry
space which is double height and convex to the water. Bedrooms
are on the lower level, living and entertaining take place on
the top. In the shingle style tradition, the stone base is an
extension of the ledge on which the building sits. Copper panels
at bay windows, 8-inch wide red cedar boards and copper roof
with wide eaves are designed to resist the extraordinary wind
and rain which challenge this site. Cold Mountain Builders of Belfast was the general contractor. Paul Attardo, now of Attardo
Pondelis Architecture, was significantly involved in the design and construction management of the project.
