A House of Courtyards

Designed and built in 1999-2001, this residence in Prout’s Neck, Maine is comprised of eight pavilions. The 2400 sf guest house is a separate house on the northerly corner of the 1.5 acre property. The seven pavilions that form the main house are interspersed with gardens and other outdoor uses. A three car garage and studio space above is completely detached from the main house. The other six pavilions include a second garage and guest quarters above, an office tower, a main house with living/dining area and master bedroom above, a kitchen, a family wing and a squash court.
