Just what is the quintessential Maine house? A traditional Cape nestled into a hillside meadow? A classic lake ront cottage? A restored Victorian in a quaint village? Architect Chris Glass and photographer Brian Vanden Brink make a compelling and visually fascinating argument that the answer can in fact be all of the above. The critical element, notes Glass, is that the house fit its surroundings rather than compete with them. And in stunning photographs, Vanden Brink proves the point again and again throughout the book.

You'll discover a wide variety of Maine houses: some old, some new, and some combinations of the two, featuring innovative yet appropriate renovations. Glass explores the history of each house, its strengths and even its weaknesses; while Vanden Brink underscores the points as only a skilled architectural photographer can.
