Shelter Institute house tour, July 30, 2009

Woolwich, Maine
We are wrapping up the Design/Build course and are privileged to enjoy the charming generosity of six Woolwich homeowners who have allowed us to pour over their homes. All six homes have been either built by SI faculty or by SI graduates. The homes range in age from 1 year to 30 years. Some have remained with their original owners and some have changed hands several times. Although all share the one concept of the timber post & beam frame, each one is utterly unique - bearing the stamp of individual or successive owners. They do all share an accessibility of scale which seems to encourage people to explore their own creativity in decoration and choice of materials.

Check out the link to my Flickr page to see some details of the homes that tickled my fancy.
