Alisson's Restaurant
Two years ago DMA designed a major face lift to
Alisson's Restaurant
in Kennebunkport. At the time, the bar was not touched. However, due to a great response to our design, the owners asked us to redesign the bar to align with the contemporary restaurant theme. Backlit, patterned glass in a stainless steel frame provides backdrop for glasses, mugs, and bottles. Photography by Carol Liscovitz, interior design by Jeanne Handy Designs, and construction by Leo Richardson.

On the Rocks
A very small building envelope and a steeply sloping site demands a creative approach to a 1,200 sf house in West Bath. Our approach is to tread lightly on the site by cantilevering the floor above the ledge. A single slope roof will open toward views of the cove and help provide privacy along the gravel road. The two bedroom house is nestled around a large rock outcropping to further blend into the landscape.

Maine Wood Conference
David recently attended the Maine Wood + Sustainability Conference in Portland. Sponsored by AIA Maine, Passivhaus Maine, and Local Wood WORKS, the conference brought together architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers to find ways to create a more sustainable Maine wood-based economy with the use of mass timber, cross-laminated timbers and panelized construction.

Views from the Jobsite
It's coming down to the deadline at Harpswell Get-Away and the finished product is looking great. The exterior is just about complete except for the two-story screen porch and Douglas Fir pergola above the patio. Cabinets are being installed and the tile is looking beautiful in the bathrooms. Interior design by Bradley Bowden in Chicago.

On the Drawing Board
An old and tired house in West Bath, with multiple additions over the years, now has a new family member as owner. Working with DMA, stunning new views will be opened to the water, and high ceilings with new cathedral ceilings will bring much needed light to this house.
