Minor refinements and we are on the way to a great renovation project. Highly recommend Kevin- he is professional, practical, and creative enough to find an elegant solution to a quirky older home. **★★★★★ — Amy Kuhn, April 2016** > Kevin has done an amazing job guiding us through a significant remodel of our mid-century home. From a design perspective, Kevin was totally up to date on the latest materials and trends. He also really listened to what we wanted and was flexible and diligent in solving a variety of challenges. Finally, we appreciated that Kevin stuck with us long after the drawings were finished -- helping us to find a builder, coordinate various vendors, select a number of finishes, and generally keep thing on track. We give him our highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Sue Fournier, April 2016** > My husband and I built a new home in 2015 utilizing Kevin Browne Architecture. Kevin and his team of associates were wonderful to work with. They were patient and accommodating with all of our many and various revisions. Extremely creative and helpful to give us a unique style to our home that we never would have accomplished without them!! Total thumbs up! **★★★★★ — Ruby Simonds, March 2016** > Kevin is a true professional. I would recommend his work without hesitation. He helped us land on a great design and managed adjustments through the renovation process promptly and with creativity. **★★★★★ — Tyler Judkins, March 2016** > Kevin was wonderful to work with. We came to him with some VERY basic plans and told him the look we were going for. What he came up with took our input into consideration perfectly and made what would have been another mundane house one of the most interesting homes in the neighborhood. **★★★★★ — Jessica Jaccarino, March 2016** > We hired Kevin for our Yarmouth renovation. Kevin was such a joy to work with as well as reliable and on time. We loved his modern and simplistic approach to design and function. We would highly recommend Kevin! **★★★★★ — Wayne Chadbourne, March 2016** > Kevin prepared architectural and structural plans/details for our home addition project. The plans were completed quickly and for a very reasonable fee. Kevin was able to quickly incorporate changes into the plan set during the process and without much cost. The overall quality of the plans is excellent and our contractor has commented the same on several occasions. Kevin has also been willing to participate in meetings with the contractor as needed to discuss details of our project. Kevin is great!! **★★★★★ — e4 Interior Design, LLC, Oct. 2015** > Kevin and I have worked on a few residential architecture/design projects together. He is a pleasure to collaborate with. His energy, attention to detail, design aesthetic, kind nature and passion for what he does is very well respected by clients and colleagues. I look forward to working together in the future! **★★★★★ — mb207, Sept. 2014** > Kevin was recommended by our builder who had worked with him on several projects. Our project involved the demolition of a dilapidated house and construction of a new home and barn. Kevin was very helpful in explaining the design process. He is easy to talk to and listens well to his client. He was able to incorporate our wishes, while making valuable recommendations for improvement and overall flow of the structures. He was thoughtful of the aesthetic of the area and willing to incorporate our "eccentricities" (my description, not his). He outlined the costs up front so that we were able to adjust the level of his involvement to our budget ahead of time. He met with us several times and visited the site several times to tweak the design accordingly, per our requests. It was clear that he wanted to be sure we would be completely satisfied and pleased with the outcome of his work. I think the combination of KBA & Todd Harrison Construction is truly a dream team for any construction project. **★★★★★ — Gordon Holman, Aug. 2014** > Kevin is organized, has great attention to detail, prompt and most of all a genuinely nice guy! A pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — jimtasse, Aug. 2014** > We have used Kevin Browne for two separate projects involving complex dormer tie-ins to the framing of an older house (1920s). One was a bathroom and one was a major second floor expansion for two bedrooms, closets, and office space. Kevin provided great designs that satisfied the need for solid structural framing as well as providing efficient use of space. Easy to work with and knowledgeable about construction realities as well as design, we would consult with Kevin on any big project! **★★★★★ — bruceb151, Aug. 2014** > I have observed Kevin's continuing progress over the years and have witnessed his professionalism with attention to detail. I would recommend him highly too handle any type of architectural design project. ## Selected projects - [Brickyard Cove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brickyard-cove-pj-vj~6902958) - Location: Freeport, Maine - Photos: 13 - Description: While this wonderfully wooded oceanfront site in Freeport came with many positive qualities, it also presented some unique constraints. With restrictions from lot lines, the ocean, and a stream that bisects the property, the buildable area for this project was incredibly limited. Nevertheless, we were able to design the form of the house to fit within these boundaries. Along with the primary residence, this project included a pool house and a private bridge that provides a connection over the st… - [Angel Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/angel-creek-pj-vj~7620362) - Location: Scarborough, ME - Photos: 15 - Description: The homeowners decided to buy an existing home in a prime location in the Higgins Beach community. The site is nestled between the ocean and AngelCreek. The plan was to remove the existing home and build a new, energy efficient home, that maximized square footage on the small lot and take full advantage of the ocean views to the front as well as dramatic Angel Creek views to the rear. - [Rangeley Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rangeley-retreat-pj-vj~7620425) - Location: Rangeley, ME - Photos: 38 - Description: The client goals as we set out to design their new retreat in Rangeley were simple, “Cabin-like”, single story for age-in-place living, low maintenance with modern day amenities, and blend in with the natural surroundings. The clients never wanted a second home, but they were tired of renting cabins in remote parts of the state of Maine. They eventually found this beautiful parcel of land in Rangeley Maine. Much of the 370 acres is located in “tree growth” but they reserved a piece of it for dev… - [Harpswell Neck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harpswell-neck-pj-vj~7616476) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: Located on a beautiful point on the coast, this year-round residence boasts an almost 360° view of the surrounding coastline. Originally planned as a second floor addition and renovation to an existing cape style house, this new construction home on piers celebrates the natural Maine coast. A focus on traditional, natural finishes drove the material selection for both the interior and exterior of the house, while a sleek modern design approach was taken for the overall form and layout of the pro… - [Bethel Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bethel-point-pj-vj~7616511) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Surrounded by water on three sides, the existing 1960’s home on this property was at the end of its life. As we started to get into a design process it was determined that we needed to remove the existing home and build a new home that better captured the views and was built to the performance standards that are expected with modern living. - [Modern on the Marsh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-on-the-marsh-pj-vj~1026522) - Location: Cape Elizabeth, ME - Photos: 23 - Description: The owners of this property on the marsh, set out to create a home that maximized the 180 degree view that they had of the marsh. The lot is mostly free of trees and had a gradual grassy slope to it, and is a part of a small subdivision. The clients had many goals with the design of the home that would sit on this lot. A few terms that they used to describe what they wanted are: crisp, contemporary, simple, innovative, minimalist and energy efficient. They hired Kevin Browne Architecture to crea… - [Island Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/island-retreat-pj-vj~6451515) - Location: Maine - Photos: 15 - Description: Tucked away on a small island off the beautiful coast of Maine, we found ourselves on a heavily wooded site, littered with fir trees and rocky shores. Our clients—a family of four including two teenagers—came to us in the hopes of a summer compound that could serve as a timeless retreat for generations to come. - [On The Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/on-the-green-pj-vj~2576461) - Location: Falmouth, ME - Photos: 15 - [Slopeside Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slopeside-retreat-pj-vj~7626923) - Location: Greenwood, ME - Photos: 10 - Description: This 1,800-square-foot ski in/ski out home is nestled at the base of Mount Abram. It was built as a vacation home for a family who are avid skiers and mountain bikers. The clients’ two main goals for the design were to maximize the views of the mountain and create a high-performance home. - [Seabreeze Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seabreeze-cottage-pj-vj~7626500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: Located on a coveted lot, just a short walk to Higgins Beach, this traditional, single-style cottage balances a welcoming sense of openness with thoughtfully designed intimate spaces. Serving as a multi-generational, year-round residence, the home is a versatile and cherished gathering place for 7+ family members. The design of this home celebrates a traditional seaside cottage with close access to a classic Maine beach community. Whether enjoying quiet, year-round living, or hosting summer gath… - [Green House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-house-pj-vj~7626530) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Having occupied a small piece of rocky shoreline in Cape Elizabeth since 1961, this Royal Barry Wills home was about to get new owners, with new ideas. A well-designed house with impressive ocean views was the perfect place for an imaginative couple to have some fun while collaborating on the design of their forever home. - [Music Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/music-studio-pj-vj~7626938) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: An internationally renowned musician sought to replace an existing garage at their Cape Elizabeth home with a music studio complete with excellent acoustics, natural light and versatile spaces for practicing and relaxing. - [Modern View on the Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-view-on-the-hill-pj-vj~6460961) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 25 - [Black Rock Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-rock-road-pj-vj~5859749) - Location: Scarborough, ME - Photos: 20 - [Acorn Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/acorn-lane-pj-vj~7627029) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Nestled in a quiet Cape Elizabeth neighborhood, a busy family of four sought to renovate their traditional colonial home. With this whole-house renovation, the once dark and segmented first floor was transformed into a light-filled retreat that balances modern functionality with the home's colonial aesthetic. - [Royal River Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/royal-river-point-pj-vj~7627012) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: Not many clients come to us with a written narrative for their home, but we love when they do. While the site was still a wooded lot, this residence was already dreamed up to be a cozy welcoming space for the clients along with their family and friends, as a space to return to between outdoor activities, work, and everything else life throws their way. As a primary residence, comfort and health took top priority, ensuring natural resilient finishes, well-insulated exterior, and sweeping views of… - [Indoor Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indoor-oasis-pj-vj~7627476) - Location: Cumberland, ME - Photos: 9 - Description: This indoor pool addition was designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing single-family dwelling, allow easy access to and from the back yard, and provide a beautiful space that can be retreated to year-round by the whole family.

The new entry addition, introduces a light-filled, welcoming transition into the home. White painted v-match ceilings replace the dated, swirled plaster throughout the home. A bright spacious kitchen opens up to the dining and living spaces where an enclosed U-shaped kitchen and… - [Architect's Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/architect-s-studio-pj-vj~545100) - Location: Falmouth, ME - Photos: 14 - Description: A simple, sunfilled space, built to showcase materials and building systems, not to mention a short commute to work. A comfortable, sunfilled space were a few things that were missing when Kevin Browne Architecture’s office was located in downtown Yarmouth. The commute from his home in Falmouth to the office was also a downside. Sure it was only 25 minutes, but why not shorten that to 10’ if it was possible. It was possible and Kevin Browne was able to create a space on his property that answere… - [On The Rocks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/on-the-rocks-pj-vj~2216793) - Location: Cliff Island, ME - Photos: 12 - Description: Located on the rocky eastern shore of Cliff Island, only a short walk from the last stop “down the bay” on the Casco Bay Lines ferry route, this seasonal cottage is nestled into the edge of the woods and yet lies so close to the shore that you can hear the pebbles rolling out with the tide. The local clients had just closed on this property when they reached out to Kevin Browne Architecture to transform and expand the existing rustic camp into an island retreat that would comfortably accommodate… [See all 23 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/kevin-browne-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1224788143) ## Community Q&A **Q: Wood species** *(in Photo Questions)* can you tell me the wood species used here and is it a clear coat or stain as well?
