Hills Beach Cottage

Hills Beach Cottage was designed by Whitten Architects, this impressive cottage is located in Biddeford, Maine at the sits at the mouth of a river in Southern Maine. A contemporary cottage was designed for clients who love to entertain and have fun. Whitten Architects Worked with the site layout, footprint, and foundation of an existing home, there goal was to preserve as much of the existing structure as possible, while creating flexibility for the homeowners to hold different-sized gatherings comfortably. We love the idea that they kept the private area (sleeping quarters) secluded from the entertaining areas...everyone wants some me time. An open first-floor plan features a well-connected kitchen, dining, and living areas. A large music room with a grand piano alcove features French doors at both the waterside deck and south-facing terrace that allow the room to open up to the outdoors on idyllic summer days.
