Surrounded by lushly landscaped gardens and characterized by sweeping roof lines, the house has been completely transformed from its original state as a split-story ranch. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and while it projects an easy and effortless quality, it was one of the most challenging aspects in the renovation. A new cathedral ceiling req… - [Whales Watch - Beach View Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whales-watch-beach-view-level-pj-vj~1763316) - Location: Portland Maine, ME - Photos: 7 - Description: The downstairs of Whale’s Watch project is an oasis of its own, giving the children free rein. “It’s what I would want if I were them,” the homeowner says. The boy’s room is designed like the interior of a boat with a cabin style bed and adjacent bunk beds. A traditional bead board wainscoting wraps the room and pops against the deep navy. Just next door, the girl’s room is pretty in pink. A dressing area with a wall mirror and ballet bar is perfectly accented by beautiful rock crystal sconces.… - [Whales Watch - Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whales-watch-outdoor-living-pj-vj~1963316) - Location: Portland Maine, ME - Photos: 13 - Description: Whales Watch had incredible views from the main Ocean View Level, but it lacked a direct connection to the outdoors. A new entry was incorporated into the renovation, featuring a pair of French doors that lead to an outdoor play area. An intricately crafted fence separates the children’s playspace from the pool and cabana area. So as to integrate seamlessly with one another, the landscape and fence were designed at the same time, by landscape architect Arek Galle of Beta Group and Matt St Cyr of… - [Basque in the Sun](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basque-in-the-sun-pj-vj~989398) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: After spending childhood summers on an Island, our client was looking for a quaint rustic cottage by the sea. As soon as she saw this bright red little cottage, she knew it was the one. When purchased, the cottage lacked a proper entry, was dark inside without a lot of natural light, and had a tiny kitchen that was hidden from the living area. A modest addition created a bright and sunny kitchen—Natural woodwork selected to maintain the original style offers a striking contrast with the white cu… - [Hunting Island Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunting-island-cottage-pj-vj~996106) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: For the romantic in all of us, this stone cottage seems to rise right out of the rocks it was built on. Perched on the shore of a one acre island, the cottage bravely faces the open Atlantic Ocean. Once a hunting retreat with no electricity, the original cottage held a couple of small rooms and rustic plumbing. A modest addition allowed for more elbow room while retaining the elements of the original structure. Challenges of permitting regulations, exposure, and not wishing to lose the essence o… - [Highfields](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highfields-pj-vj~1219945) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: Highfields was a lofty dream. It began in 1988, when the owners stumbled on a "For Sale" sign at an 11-acre wooded lot. With their 3 young boys, they began an annual camping tradition: staking tents, cutting down trees, lugging in drinking water, having bonfires, jumping off the neighbor’s dock into the cold Maine water. Ten years later, they built a small cabin; still no water or electricity. Twenty years later (still lugging that water!) they purchased the Point, an 18-acre adjacent parcel wit… - [Foreside Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/foreside-kitchen-pj-vj~1963082) - Location: Portland Maine, ME - Photos: 9 - Description: Built circa 1912, this waterfront home in Falmouth, Maine had almost everything the clients wanted when they purchased it in 2010…except their ideal kitchen. The space was characterized by dark, outdated cabinetry, low hanging soffits that housed lighting, and an unfortunate “U” configuration that created isolation and bottlenecks around the bar and kitchen island. The homeowners desired a kitchen that maximized function and convenience while also evoking a unique and well-thought-through aesthe… - [Cross Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cross-point-pj-vj~1229454) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: Down a narrow path, beyond a swing hanging from an oak among ledge outcroppings, the original cottage sat under the trees on a point of land. While the owners dreamed of much-needed added space for extended family and guests, the 75-foot shoreland setback confined the possibilities for expansion. Knickerbocker Group’s solution involved two modestly sized homes: a family cottage and a bunkhouse just beyond the setback, to be built in series to minimize the impact on the land. The open plan in the… - [Bayberry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bayberry-pj-vj~989653) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: This coastal home had classic cottage charm with small spaces and dated systems. New generational owners wished for improvements on all fronts and ample space to accommodate both family and friends. An increased sense of space was achieved by keeping sight lines open but rooms divided with custom built-ins to showcase beach treasures or to store media equipment out of sight. The architectural detailing is simple and graceful, and does not distract the eye from the expansive ocean views outside e… - [The Grotto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-grotto-pj-vj~1846406) - Location: Boothbay, ME - Photos: 7 - Description: Knickerbocker Group designed an organic exterior living area and kitchen at their Boothbay campus to showcase the versatility and usefulness that an outdoor space like this can add to a home. The site was nestled into a wooded and landscaped hillside. A low curved stonewall rims the edge. The unique masonry of the fireplace, with three large, rough-cut stones framing the fire above a massive hand-split hearth, is highlighted against the dark evergreen foliage. The design included a stone terrace… - [Moores Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moores-point-pj-vj~1364486) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: In 1969, the owners began their annual summer pilgrimage from Dallas to Maine, looking for respite from their busy lives and seeking the tranquility of the east coast. On one of their trips, they asked a realtor to find a property with crashing surf; they saw a picture of this artistically geometric home and purchased it upon first sight. Originally built in 1976, it was inspired by the Heckscher House on Deer Isle, Maine, designed by modernist architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. As previous clien… - [Broad Cove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/broad-cove-pj-vj~1251900) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Along the coast of Maine, a growing family of five dreamt of transforming this basic 60’s ranch-style into their dream home. Structural changes and architecture were addressed by Whitten Architects, of Portland, Maine, which laid the foundation for bringing it into the 21st century. The major architectural changes include the addition of a second floor Master Suite, as well as the absorption of an existing screened porch into the home. Additionally, almost all of the interior partitions in the h… - [Grass Roads Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grass-roads-farmhouse-pj-vj~989579) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Grass Roads Farmhouse sits atop a knoll overlooking grassy fields that roll down to the bright blue waters of Rangeley Lake. It’s redefined “rustic”: the aesthetic of an old Maine farmhouse designed with modern comforts for our recently retired clients and their family. The owners wanted the interiors to feel warm and rustic: natural wood floors, exposed beams, a roundwood mantle and a large stone fireplace with raised hearth contribute to that feel. The stone mass, with fireplace on one side an… - [Moores Point Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moores-point-studio-pj-vj~1364529) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: Upon entering the inconspicuous door to the studio, the airy great room is highlighted by a floor to ceiling window. Originally, the window had a Roman arch at the top; it was reconfigured to better reflect the angles of the roofline. Throughout the window redesign process, each shingle was meticulously removed from the exterior wall. They were carefully numbered, and placed back in their exact same location...an example of the attention to detail and respect for the original structure that drov… - [Indiantown Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indiantown-island-pj-vj~996896) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Inside, it is all classic Maine Cottage with a central gathering room with identical extensions on either side bracketed by two fireplaces. Fir strip flooring, trim and wainscot with local stone make a winning combination. In the bathroom, a sunken tub surrounded by radiant fir and marble quietly beckons a restful respite. Sea glass colors among contemporary appliances and pendant lighting set off the rich honed granite and butcher block counter tops in the kitchen. The wall-to-ceiling glass bri… - [Seascape Main House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seascape-main-house-pj-vj~1970581) - Location: Boothbay, ME - Photos: 8 - Description: The inspiration for this elegant estate began at the shoreline. Set slightly back from the water, a high point of ledge offers unparalleled views of a lighthouse and sailing school to the north and island-studded ocean views to the south. The central gambrel form draws you into a grand entry, its domed ceiling illuminating graceful double stairs that frame the intricate marble floor inlay. Ahead, 16’ of curved mahogany doors disappear into hidden wall pockets; the greatest challenge being the fl… - [Seascape Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seascape-outdoor-living-pj-vj~1971621) - Location: Boothbay, ME - Photos: 7 - Description: Set among the rocky cliffs, native woodland and wave-tossed seaside bluffs of the 5.5 acre site, the landscape created for a new “grand Maine cottage” includes sweeping lawns and extensive gardens of native plants. A curving “vanishing edge” pool and a native stone terrace provide an elegant transition from the living areas to the ledge-studded natural landscape that surrounds the home. With a focus on entertaining, the cabana offers more than a seat in the shade—a full kitchen, two televisions,… - [Chestnut Way](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chestnut-way-pj-vj~1846375) - Location: Cumberland, ME - Photos: 14 - Description: The owners loved the character and charm of old houses but really wanted a good solid new construction, so it was really important to us to carefully blend the character and elements of an older home with a design and layout that better suited their needs. The design was driven by their desire for an open concept layout, with one space seamlessly flowing into the next. The large living room flows into the dining area, while the expansive kitchen sits adjacent and is delineated by a vintage trans… - [Ocean Cliff](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ocean-cliff-pj-vj~989484) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - Description: The entry of this contemporary Maine cottage was designed for transparency, to entice guests with the water view beyond. On a site that offers 270 degree views of the shoreline, islands and open ocean, the water view is a part of every room. The owner, who is also an interior designer, had a clear vision of how to achieve a crisp contemporary style with a nautical flair. The open plan is full of light, with large windows and doors to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. For each interior space… - [Grand View Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-view-cottage-pj-vj~25843) - Location: Boothbay Harbor, ME - Photos: 17 - Description: Completed in 2009 Grand View Cottage was built in 1915 on a rocky peninsula in the middle of Boothbay Harbor. With commanding views, it was a summer cottage when our clients first purchased it in 2008. Having longstanding ties to Maine, they wanted to maintain and preserve the character of the original cottage while updating it and providing for year-round use. Our solution was to add a new fully insulated Master Quarters wing, connect it to the existing cottage with a three-season porch, and ad… [See all 33 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/knickerbocker-group-pfvwus-pf~344063921) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
