My wife and I have been super impressed with their ability to translate our desires into clean, functional, drop-dead gorgeous design. We are in good hands with Caleb and his brilliant team! **★★★★★ — Stephen Gilbert, March 2019** > Caleb Johnson and his team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I approached them with a strict budget and timeline, and they went above and beyond with communication, deliverables, and service at every step of the way. > > Their design style is clean, concise, and always conceptually sound. Their greatest strength as a firm is listening and understanding goals, and their energy and willingness to achieve said goals was so impressive. They really listened to what we wanted and needed and utilized every inch of usable space with unique, beautiful floor plans. Thrilled!! **★★★★★ — Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes, July 2018** > Caleb is always on the cutting edge of creative architecture and design. His team is a joy to work with and we value our relationship with them. Their design style is clean and concise. In landscaping their projects, I am always careful to merely compliment their architecture, as good architecture needs only minimal landscape. **★★★★★ — Rockport Post & Beam, April 2016** > We have worked on several projects with Caleb Johnson Architects + Builders, and every one has been a great experience. Working closely with many of their architects and project leads has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. > Each and every project that we have worked on with cjab has been unique and insightfully designed. Their integration of timber frame elements into the designs has produced aesthetically pleasing spaces with a warm and inviting essence. > We highly recommend cjab as an architectural service or in the design-build capacity. We look forward to the continued strong relationship and future collaboration! > > -Evan Dyer > Rockport Post & Beam **Comment from Woodhull:** > Evan, Thank you for your glowing review. We appreciate your dedication to our vision and look forward to continuing our work together. > > Best, > Shannon Richards > Managing Partner, Residential **★★★★★ — Yulia Aleksandrovna, March 2016** > I needed to have a code analysis for a new coffee-shop in Portland, ME, for that purpose this February I contacted Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders. > > During our phone conversation their director of Business Development, Shannon managed to give me a quick estimation of the costs, she also sent me the email explaining all the possible costs of work. My project started and finished very clear in pricing, not exceeding my budget. > > For the code analysis itself I was working with Patrick who was very prompt in his work and professional. For completing the analysis he was dealing with City of Portland's authorities to ensure that every single detail of the plan would be approved. > > I was very satisfied with the level of service of this company, will definitely call them again for my next need. > Yulia **Comment from Woodhull:** > Thanks Yulia, > Glad everything went so well. We look forward to stopping by your coffee shop!! > Best, > Shannon **★★ — anonymousreview, Nov. 2014** > I explained I wanted to stay with in a certain build budget. I was given a design that was double the budget. A house that might give Caleb and team bragging rights for a magazine article, etc. > > But not within the scope of the budget I set forth at the onset. > > If you don't know what your doing, what to spend $300 to $450 a sq foot to build something high end (with no reason to spend that kind of money as you will never recoup it on resale & can get the same look for under $250 a sq ft.) then yes Caleb and team will be fine. **Comment from Woodhull:** > The single hardest obstacle of every project is aligning expectations of BUDGET / TIMELINE / SCOPE (plan). Thoughtful, consistent communication and realistic expectations are the keys to successful projects and happy clients. The earlier in the process that an Owner, Designer and Builder can align - the better, more successful and more predictable the results. **★★★★★ — whosails, Aug. 2014** > I had always done my own house designs but in this case I had designed a house on an island in Maine and felt there was a disconnect between my design and the area. After researching on Houzz I discovered Caleb Johnson and contacted him. I loved his clean design ideas. It was very late in the process. Caleb came out to the site and immediately knew what to do. I was stunned at his quick grasp of the situation. > > He not only knew what "look" was needed on the site but opened up the floor plan. He knew exactly the right thing to do even though he had to work within the footprint of the already designed house. Although I had only asked for minimal input his attitude was always helpful and happy to see me. His input came in under estimated cost. > > I am forever indebted to him and his staff for their work on my project and probably will be needing his advice as the project progresses. **★★★★★ — chyzer, Dec. 2013** > We hired Caleb at the recommendation of our realtor when we purchased land in Biddeford and he did a wonderful job with a classic, yet contemporary barn that we wanted to build that is solar heated. He and his team designed and built a truly wonderful home for us on the inland side of the pool with plenty of constraints (water restrictions, zoning hearings, very big ideas with not so big a budget, etc). > > The barn turned out wonderfully and our family loves to come to up Biddeford as often as we can (I think that Caleb still has pictures on his website). > > A couple years later, we then hired Caleb to do a completely different project in Massachusetts- desiging an addition to a 1888 colonial home that we purchased when we had to move out of the city. Our place in Massachusetts was designed by a "locally famous" architect, but we needed the extra space (and a garage) and didn't want to ruin the asthetic or flow that we bought the house for. Caleb and Cat were happy to come down to Boston and work on site as needed. Needless to say that the addition fits right in and we get all sorts of compliments that many wouldn't have even known that it was an addition, if not told. > > In any case, Caleb and company have done a wonderful job on two projects for us with very diverse requirements. They are very professional, great listeners, do an excellent job adapting to different requirements and styles, manage well to a budget, and are good people to work with. I would definitely recommend them for any projects in Maine or other parts of New England. **★★★★★ — sblake71, Sept. 2013** > After inte rviewing several architects for the renovation of my beach cottage, I found Caleb Johnson to be the most forthright, resourceful and honest about my dreams for a redo. We had DEP regs to deal with and I had budget constraints. Together we designed a renewed cottage that I am so proud of, thanks to Caleb. He incorporated some of the old features into new spaces and did things that I could not have imagined like vaulting a ceiling. It opened up such a big space and gave my cottage such spaciousness. He stayed within budget and completed the project a bit ahead of schedule. He was on site every day and when I arrived unexpectedly his master carpenter always stopped and showed me the latest progress. His team is on the same page. I recommend Caleb Johnson Architects & Builders to anyone who wants or needs to get a job done perfectly. I have never done business with a more honest, aboveboard, fair-and-square person. **Comment from Woodhull:** > Thank you for your nice review. It was a fun project to work on. **★★★★★ — Lolisa Windover, Sept. 2013** > When I was looking for an architect firm, it was a bit overwhelming. Then my brother gave me a magazine he had picked up at the airport in Portland. It featured some Maine Architects and one in particular had caught his eye, one that would not dismiss a small project and had lots of experience working around water. My next question was....could I get this in top notch Biddeford Architect to consider a very small and complicated project 3 hours away in Weld Maine. One phone call to this enthusiastic designer and that was that. He not only knew where Weld was, his children when to a camp there and he was delighted to come up and meet with me. > He and his associate Cat, visited, planned and listened to the dream my daughters and I wanted to create. We now call it our 50 foot slice of heaven! The best part of the whole process was working with Caleb Johnson Architects. No idea is silly, they listen and they make it happen. My space constraints were tight and they worked around all the issues to design our dream camp, a place our family will treasure and use for many years to come. I could not be happier with their work and for keeping my daughters involved with the process, it was a real family project. **Comment from Woodhull:** > Thank you for your review, it was also nice working with you too. **★★★★★ — mooselodge, Sept. 2013** > We are in the design stage of building our retirement home. Caleb Johnson and his Team took a very restrictive and tight square footage lot and created our dream house. We were so excited! > > Next came the local Planning Board, state agencies, permits, more permits, more restrictions etc and we were so discouraged. But Caleb, Josh and Michael never stopped and have kept our dream alive with their experience, vision and professional contacts and resources. > > Demolition is next and we look forward to continuing the journey with Caleb Johnson Architects and Builders. **Comment from Woodhull:** > Thank you for your review. It has been wonderful working with you also. ## Selected projects - [In the Dunes - Maine Home Inspired by the Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-the-dunes-maine-home-inspired-by-the-beach-pj-vj~5583696) - Location: Wells, ME - Photos: 32 - Description: This home was influenced by the vernacular coastal structures that can be found dotting the Maine coast. The building was simplified to pure geometric forms and then manipulated and modernized to take advantage of the sea and marsh views that can be seen through corner windows from all sides of the home. The building scale was a crucial aspect of the design and was made more intimate by creating two smaller forms connected by a modern flat roof connector that contains the building’s vertical cir… - [Spears Hill - Modern New England Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spears-hill-modern-new-england-home-pj-vj~6083587) - Location: Cumberland, ME - Photos: 32 - Description: A couple with a lifelong appreciation for design purchased property that hovers just above Casco Bay to build a legacy home. They had a vision for a modern structure made from local materials that would capture views at every opportunity. High expectations and high energy collided in a process that resulted in a space defined by style and privacy. With a larger footprint, it was essential not to preclude the water views with a singular structure. Instead, an ambiguous entry serves as a portal bo… - [Sea Change - Coastal Maine Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sea-change-coastal-maine-architecture-pj-vj~5583788) - Location: Cape Elizabeth, ME - Photos: 34 - Description: A contemporary, yet classic home, composed of a main house, a free-standing garage, and a small office. Every structural detail on display does a job and serves a purpose. Materials such as wood walls, metal support beams, and stone accents blur the line between indoors and outdoors. This not only fits into the homeowners’ active and outdoorsy lifestyle, but also pays homage to the history of building in Maine. Inspiration was pulled from a book on Japanese architecture which detailed how tradit… - [Rowe Station - Modern Maine Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rowe-station-modern-maine-architecture-pj-vj~6909238) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - Description: Rowe Station’s owners, a young couple in the design industry, had a strong vision for their first home: a space both intimate and open, as comfortable for the two of them as it would be for entertaining guests. They engaged Caleb Johnson Studio to help them design a house that meets their present needs and maintains room for growth into the future. A two-story design, with its open layout and compartmentalized spaces, suited the couple’s love of entertaining while keeping a relatively small foot… - [Ben's Barn - Modern New England Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ben-s-barn-modern-new-england-farmhouse-pj-vj~1056984) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: A secluded natural setting and attention to eco-friendly design led the focus on using both sustainable and upcycle salvaged materials. Repurposed elements formed the foundation for a modern structural design; a unique blend of old and new. The layout of the first floor provides the family with ease of movement and opens opportunity for gathering. The openness is maintained through the second floor with a floating staircase and walkway that leads to bedrooms. An accessible first-floor bedroom su… - [Beach Break - Maine Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-break-maine-beach-house-pj-vj~6486619) - Location: Higgins Beach, ME - Photos: 16 - Description: Only steps from the waves of Higgins Beach, this updated beachfront home takes full advantage of exciting ocean views, natural light, and classic coastal style. As the Maine base for a surfing family, the space required a balance between functionality and visual appeal. Higgins Beach design and building regulations presented an interesting set of challenges that led to creative, forward-thinking solutions. With a rare, uninterrupted view of the ocean, the family requested as many windows as poss… - [SeaWeed, South Portland - Cannabis Dispensary Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaweed-south-portland-cannabis-dispensary-design-pj-vj~6486821) - Location: South Portland, ME - Photos: 23 - Description: Seaweed Co. had the vision to create an architecturally significant building to lead the way in Maine’s adult-use marijuana retail future. The primary goal was to create a sophisticated, but approachable, feel to create a broad appeal from the first-time buyer to the avid consumer. A pride in Maine-made craftsmanship was also integral to reflecting the product line of the company brand. Caleb Johnson Studio served as the lead architect in collaboration with MAAM, an architecture studio based in… - [Canoe Camps - Maine Cabin Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/canoe-camps-maine-cabin-design-pj-vj~6818124) - Location: Limington, ME - Photos: 42 - Description: The owners of a Pequawket Lake property reached out to Caleb Johnson Studio to begin the revitalization of a family camp. Ready for an upgrade but nostalgic for the memories, the challenge of this design would be striking the right balance — creating room and longevity for the next generation while honoring and appreciating the past. The desire to maintain a smaller footprint and stay aligned with neighboring camps ruled out just a singular large structure. Instead, the two existing cottages wer… - [Forever Home - Custom Maine Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forever-home-custom-maine-architecture-pj-vj~5584086) - Location: Biddeford, ME - Photos: 21 - Description: A pair of pastors had spent their lives traveling the country and setting up new homes in new cities as they moved from church to church. When it was time to come home for good, they wanted a comfortable, one-story space that could easily accommodate an aging lifestyle. Everything was designed to evolve effortlessly with the owners so that even in their nineties, it would feel and function the same as the day they walked through the front door. The tight, high-efficiency 2,200 sq ft home priorit… - [Pest House - Maine Island Home Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pest-house-maine-island-home-design-pj-vj~5583734) - Location: Cranberry Isles, ME - Photos: 8 - Description: For over a century, a large extended family vacationed together on Little Cranberry Island, just off the coast of Mount Desert Island. On-site of the family compound was a former work shed that had been converted into a sparse yet beautifully located cottage, fondly reserved for unruly grandchildren to let loose. The latest generation to oversee the grounds saw potential to make the little retreat something modern and much more comfortable. The goal was to renovate the space without losing the o… - [Paradise Road - Modern New England Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-road-modern-new-england-architecture-pj-vj~6486634) - Location: Bethel, ME - Photos: 22 - Description: A ski house at heart providing both intimate family living and guest dwelling. This property close to Sunday River revealed a steeper incline than initially realized. Creative problem solving would result in a unique, sprawling, layered plan. Well suited to fit 14 to 16 friends and family members but comfortable for one, the central part of the home is a shared living space with a dining room and large mudroom. The top floor was situated as the owner’s suite with one guest bedroom and bathroom.… - [Solar Barn - New England Home Barn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/solar-barn-new-england-home-barn-pj-vj~222545) - Location: Biddeford, ME - Photos: 13 - Description: The challenge: Our clients wanted a spacious, traditional-looking barn look that was also highly energy-efficient. Our approach: We designed a super-insulated structure that maintains the integrity of the classic barn style. We made ample use of indigenous materials and local businesses throughout the building process, both inside and out: Interior • 13 two-ton trusses of indigenous hemlock • Ash flooring • Locally harvested custom wainscoting Exterior • Board and batten siding made from locally… - [Cast On - Maine Beach Vacation Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cast-on-maine-beach-vacation-home-pj-vj~1057042) - Location: Biddeford, ME - Photos: 12 - Description: A Canadian couple was looking for a coastal Maine respite that would offer commanding views and water access, yet also respect for the land. The selected build site was an especially complex and fragile shorefront setting with creative and environmental challenges. A careful balance of materials and simple forms produced an honest structure designed to maintain the sustainability and visibility of the precious surrounding sand dunes. The substantial 4,500 sq. ft. home and guest home sit on drive… - [Acorn Again- Modern Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/acorn-again-modern-interior-design-pj-vj~2615496) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: With an existing Acorn Deck house in hand, a creative family sought a renovation that would modernize the space and still maintain a structural sense of play. The mid-century design and clean lines of the house drove the initial direction, and an admirable art collection brought the job beautifully to the finish line. Renovations focused on the kitchen, dining room, laundry, and entry, with a plan that allowed for a more seamless flow between rooms. By removing existing walls and cabinets, space… - [Ship Locks - Classic Maine Home Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ship-locks-classic-maine-home-design-pj-vj~5584055) - Location: Kennebunk, ME - Photos: 21 - Description: After searching the Kennebunk area for years, two Midwest executives with grown children finally found a piece of land they loved and jumped at the opportunity to uproot and retire in Maine. They wanted a classic cottage that felt deeply connected to the surroundings, with familiar forms that felt natural in expression. Due to setback regulations, wetlands, and subdivision requirements, the parcel they finally settled on was fundamentally difficult to build on. The most substantial challenge beg… - [265 Main Street - Mixed Use Building](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/265-main-street-mixed-use-building-pj-vj~355753) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: The building at 265 Main St. had been vacant for decades before the owners had the vision to return the space to its original purpose—a mixed-use building with commercial retail space, artist studios and office spaces, and apartments. Historic tax credits, which fund renovations of underutilized buildings, helped enable the remodel when many lenders were skeptical that Biddeford could support the new development. A local business owner had the vision to combine what was originally two separate s… - [Duke- Classic New England Coastal Home Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duke-classic-new-england-coastal-home-architecture-pj-vj~2615655) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Using the small footprint and beachy location as a guide, this 1,500-square-foot cottage transformed into a contemporary celebration of classic New England on the coast. Finding the balance between comfort and efficiency was a central challenge for the space. A focus on communal spaces and influence from the nearby ocean drove all design decisions. On the ground floor, the dining, living, and kitchen are combined into one open, airy layout. Pickled white hemlock beams slice intersect the layout,… - [Noyes Street- Portland Maine Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/noyes-street-portland-maine-architecture-pj-vj~2615478) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 5 - Description: A complete interior renovation of an old home, a quiet Portland neighborhood, and a growing family presented equal opportunities and challenges. Priorities included maintaining the home’s original character while creating more functional space for expanding and changing needs. Opening up the first floor without compromising the structural integrity of the two floors above required patience and ingenuity. Existing bearing walls were removed and replaced with exposed and painted steel beams. This… - [Family Tradition - Maine Beach House Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-tradition-maine-beach-house-architecture-pj-vj~324969) - Location: Saco, ME - Photos: 7 - Description: The ocean was the obvious focal inspiration for this family summer cottage on the Maine coast. The design, pier engineering, and construction all presented less obvious challenges of working within the frontal dune site. Regulations dictated that all new buildings within a flood hazard zone be elevated at least three feet above the high-water mark. In collaboration with structural engineers, a design using heavy timber piles to create a flow-through foundation was implemented, and a free-flowing… - [Abacus - Modern Maine Business Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/abacus-modern-maine-business-architecture-pj-vj~2302005) - Location: Ogunquit, ME - Photos: 10 - Description: Two gallery owners were ready to add on to their popular space in Ogunquit, Maine but did not want to disrupt the existing character of the streetscape. Regulatory restraints and a historical ordinance from the town board added additional requirements that called for strategic solutions. A traditional design with innovative structural decisions brought cohesion to the surrounding buildings and vibrancy to the busy Main Street intersection. The ridge of the new structure was turned ninety degrees… [See all 34 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/woodhull-pfvwus-pf~1451514132) ## Community Q&A **Q: what kind of wood is used for the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of wood was used for the floor? A: Beams are hemlock. **Q: will you provide the details about the media center?** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you get it? Is it custom or can anyone order? A: Hello - thanks for the inquiry! This was a custom piece built by our millwork shop. **Q: Weather worries…** *(in Photo Questions)* What keeps this bed, mattress and linens from getting wet when it rains? Is it a special outdoor setup? Would like to add a bed to my porch but if there is wind with rain it blows in quite a bit. Thank you for any input. A: Weather all year round in Maine! A nice thick tarp/cover should work well - you can always put a waterproof mattress pad on as well if you are not on-site to cover when rain rolls in. **Q: Stairs to garage** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the entryway, but curious how a car would get up the stairs to use the 3-car garage. Are they low enough to drive over? A: Hi there - those are not stairs, it is a landscape design by Soren DeNiord incorporating grass, stone and rock - all laying flat. **Q: Where could I find the blueprint for this home? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is a custom architectural design. If you would like to discuss purchasing the set of plans, please contact our office. **Q: children's beds** *(in Photo Questions)* are these beds custom built or is there a company from whom I can order one. i am in Chicago and would love one for my 2 & 4 year old A: They are custom built-ins. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
