About This Project

The Architectural Heritage project represents a harmonious blend of historic preservation and modern functionality, showcasing the expertise of Maugel DeStefano Architects. Nestled along Maine's southern coast, this venerable home, which dates back to 1776 and has been cherished by three generations, presented a unique challenge: to modernize its aspects while maintaining its historical integrity within the surrounding landscape. The renovation aimed to seamlessly integrate new elements with the existing structure, ensuring that the final outcome would leave onlookers unable to distinguish between the old and the new. A significant component of the project was the construction of a large gambrel-roofed addition, thoughtfully designed to accommodate the homeowner’s vision for family gatherings and entertaining. This expansive new kitchen serves as the heart of the home, crafted to cater to both intimate meals and larger celebrations. The design emphasizes flexibility, allowing the space to function effortlessly for small gatherings or to host a crowd of family and friends. Every detail in the kitchen was considered, from the choice of materials to the layout, fostering an inviting and functional environment that balances style with practicality. To further enhance connectivity between the renovated areas, a graceful new staircase was introduced, elegantly linking the two levels of the house. This architectural feature not only serves a practical purpose but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. Additionally, an elevator was incorporated to provide convenient access to a newly constructed second-floor apartment, ensuring that the home remains accessible for all generations. The outcome of the Architectural Heritage project is a resounding success, where the careful craftsmanship and thoughtful design choices have resulted in a residence that is as welcoming as it is beautiful. This home now stands as a testament to the successful marriage of historical charm and contemporary living, embodying the spirit of its storied past while embracing the needs of modern family life.
