To renovate a rustic but outdated farmhouse as ecologically as possible within a tight budget, and remain respectful to the small Downeast port town within which it is located. The small, compartmentalized floor plan is opened up, flooded with natural light, and connected to the outdoors with a house-wide screen porch. The adjacent barn becomes a garage at the lower level, connecting to the main house through an open arcade with a solar-paneled roof.
