""We kind of rebuilt the house around that porch," says the owner of the 1930s cottage, erected before restrictions dictated structures sit back some 175 feet. "It feels like being on a houseboat.""
""I always felt like I knew exactly how a summer house in Maine is supposed to feel and function," says Rockwell, who grew up spending summers in Kennebunkport, Maine. "Nothing super precious, good hardy materials.""
Gregory Rockwell undertook the renovation of a lakeside property in Maine, focusing on the wraparound porch as a central feature. The home, originally a summer camp acquired in the 1940s, has been transformed into a modern retreat for the homeowners and their friends. Rockwell aimed to maintain a campy atmosphere while updating the structure with durable materials. His design philosophy emphasizes a balance between functionality and the nostalgic essence of a summer house in Maine.
