My Folks' Place is located in Liberty, Maine, a rural town whose residents live by the motto, "Think Globally; Act Locally." Many of the townspeople live close to the earth by growing their own food, cutting their own firewood, and by sharing resources. The community aims to keep business and trade local, thus minimizing transportation costs and its associated ecological damages. While designing and building this home, I strove to capture Liberty's spirit of simplicity and sustainability. The homestead of My Folks' Place offers magnificent views of Georgetown River, Haystack Mountain, orchards, gardens, and wooded hillsides. The landscapes and especially the beautiful mountainside inspired me to create a home that not only compliments its surroundings, but also allows the homeowner to enjoy the amazing vistas from within the house.
