20' x 36' Phippsburg Cottage
We designed and built this timber frame home for clients constructing a second home 'off-the-grid' on the coast of Maine. The first floor includes the master bedroom and an open dining/living area. The second floor has enough room for two bedrooms. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating this very special BungalowInABox.We added a 10' x 24' timber frame porch to provide outdoor living space that offers a shaded area to enjoy the nature preserve behind the house.
