Architecture inspired by my clients and the challenging sites on the coast of Maine since 1970.
The process of working with a creative architect in the design of your home may be one of the most rewarding experiences you will have in life.

This site is offered in support of the cause of Organic Architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff and many other architects have influenced the Principles expressed in the architecture I have designed and built.

Solar Systems used in the Freeport House for solar electric and heating.
There is a 5.4 kW Photovoltaic array
on the southwest roof of the house consisting of (24) 225 watt
Sunpower modules. The modules feed power into a Sunpower 5000 watt inverter. The
inverter will feed roughly 6200 kilo-watt hours of electricity per year into the house
and/or the power grid.
The solar thermal provides domestic hot water and supplemental space heat.
The collector array on the south roof consists of 160 Apricus evacuated tubes. The array
is mounted at 60 degrees to horizontal to optimize performance for space heating. Two 160
gallon Stiebel Eltron dual coil tanks are used to store the thermal energy for domestic
hot water and for space heat.
