PROJECT STORY The clients, husband and wife, are experienced water people. The wife is a self-described “River Girl” from growing up in her family’s home on Weiss Lake. They also live by the motto: “Lake Life should happen outside.”

As part of the Auburn Faithful, Lake Martin offers easy accessibility to support their school. The lake location was an opportunity to design their own “Lake Life” after being part of a larger extended family style on Weiss Lake.

The clients found the perfect property in Kennebec.

EIGHT ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF KENNEBEC DESIGN 1 to 1 1/2 story masses that hug the landscape Collection of building masses connected to great courtyards and outdoor spaces Lower-pitched roofs that reinforce horizontality.

Outdoor living spaces that seamlessly connect to indoor rooms Native materials with a neutral color palette Large expanses of glass at prominent spaces of the home.

Lakeside porches and balconies to great views Exposed structural details on interior and exterior (brackets, beams, etc.)

LAKE MARTIN, KENNEBEC Our clients knew Kennebec was the right place and after evaluating 14 lots. They saw the view from Lot 14 and the search was over. They also noticed a breeze funneled down the slough toward the property and boat waves from the main channel dissipated before reaching the dock translating to a breezy porch and no need for a sea wall.

JonesPierce analyzed the intensive Kennebec architectural guidelines to understand we could plan the lot to push the house down the slope toward the view out to big water, position the house to create privacy from future neighbors, and create outdoor spaces that provide different experiences at different times of the day.

FRAMED VIEW The resulting site plan used two docks at opposite property lines to frame the view to the water and to separate a service dock for boats and a people dock. The service dock is in deep water for all year round boat access.

INDOOR TO OUTDOOR LIVING The lake facing porch provides transparent views from the interior and a lake perspective that is close to the action.

The porch offers indoor/outdoor areas for dining, club seating with fire pit and rocking chair sunsets.

EXTERIOR STAIR The upper and lower timber porches locate the exterior access stairs within their footprint. This design choice helped to eliminate the visual clutter of a stair between porches.

SCREENED PORCH The side screened porch is located adjacent to the family room to use for bug free nights. The porch also offers phasing opportunity to create a future lower level outdoor lake pub in the space behind the wood slats.

The screened porch interior with a fireplace, night game TV and hanging bed for those essential naps.

SCULPTURAL STAIR WITH A PURPOSE The stairway acts like a light well to all levels of the house including the lower terrace level.

WEEKEND UTILITY We believe weekend homes need a larger space for laundry, provisions and extra refrigerator space. The space works well with guests to store coolers with their brunch supplies.

PRIMARY SPACE Access to the Owner’s bedroom is through semi private seating area and future office. Natural light and an awesome view in the primary bedroom offer a place for peace, serenity and living in time with the sun.

PRIMARY BATHROOM Bath mirrors mounted in front of the window provide a little privacy while allowing for multi tasking such as checking the weather while brushing your teeth. Smile!

Relaxed materials in the owner’s bath offer softer sounds for a different bathing experience.

TIME FOR CAMP! A camp-style bathroom accommodates multiple users simultaneously by offering showers with dressing areas, individual toilets within rooms, and a multi-faucet sink.

Additionally, this camp bathroom serves as a lake bathroom and is designed to be easily cleaned with a hose, thanks to its drainage system.
