For the third year in a row, DMA was invited to attend the New England COTE Leadership Summit. This year's summit in Burlington, VT, sponsored by the New England AIA Committee on the Environmental Chapters, was highlighted by the keynote address by Clark Brockman, AIA, LEED Fellow, a national leader in architecture and planning and climate responsive design.

Finishing touches and art are being installed at this multi-purpose building (the first floor has both retail and small office possibilities). The second floor includes a three-bedroom rental unit right in downtown Boothbay Harbor. A new gable facade to incorporate a stair, as well as a bridge to the attic bedrooms, helped change the aesthetic of this old house. Finished photos to follow soon.

The Sea Glass Cottage sits high on ledges in Harpswell overlooking the New Meadows River. Prior to the sale of the property, DMA had confirmed for the new owner  that shoreland zoning restrictions would not prohibit the project. A small addition and major renovation included a new master bedroom suite to serve multiple families. Construction by Senecal Construction Services.

A few years ago David, Brock, Scott, and Joe attempted to summit the peaks along the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. They missed 5 peaks that weekend, and their attempt this year was foiled by very bad weather. Two peaks were crossed off the list, including Mt Adams, the second highest, but if you want to know what 60 mph winds and rain looks like, follow this link:  https://youtu.be/rNzLb9Z3Dew
