A tear-down/rebuild was the clear choice. The client's goals were to create a modest, bright, comfortable, sustainable and energy efficient new camp on a tight budget that could be enjoyed year round and make the most of the natural beauty of the site. The result is a 1090 sf, single level, two bedroom dwelling. Zoning constraints on the rebuild forced a creative app… - [Fish Hook Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fish-hook-camp-pj-vj~2311995) - Location: Oxford, ME - Photos: 16 - Description: The property had a modest existing camp building, close to the water, that was re-skinned and lightly renovated to better integrate it in the family of structures. The client requested we use ‘life-time’ materials, focused on longevity of the buidling with a vision of passing the property on to the children as they have families and hopefully continue the tradition of gathering at the camp. Thus, the different structures and gathering spaces are deliberately unique but equal. The garage has an i… - [Vintage Bus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vintage-bus-pj-vj~2312094) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: The Bus, a 1959 Chevy Viking 40 The clients are a couple with a summer camp on a lake in rural Maine. Visits by extended family and friends to their camp can overwhelm their accommodations, so the bus serves as overflow lodging, plus transportation for groups of up to 12 (plus driver). They love most things retro, and the 50's/60's vintage of the bus was a perfect fit. - [Downeast Coastal Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downeast-coastal-residence-pj-vj~2255621) - Location: Steuben, ME - Photos: 15 - Description: The site is a 15 acre former homestead in Steuben, Maine. It feels very Downeast with spruce woods and lichen covered ledge outcroppings. An orchard and field rolls down to the beach. A modest, 2 bedroom, 1700 sf, year-around residence. In addition to an efficient living/dining/kitchen core, there was to be a small meditation room. a screened porch, detached art studio (900 sf) and one car garage. One practical goal was for the design to minimize ambient mechanical sounds. This lead to a remote… - [Remote Fishing Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remote-fishing-camp-pj-vj~2889142) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: A boathouse and dock serve as the gateway for an active, traditional fishing camp on the shore of a pristine lake in the Canadian wilderness. The structure provides slips and cover for four small fishing canoes, a utility boat and equipment, as well as a versatile dock for the floatplane. In order to blend in the the rustic nature of the other structures of the camp, the boathouse was constructed entirely of locally harvested logs and rough-sawn timbers. The support floats were fitted and assemb… - [Peaks Island Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peaks-island-modern-pj-vj~2902295) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 12 - Description: A middle-aged couple, with an eye for design, bought a small plot on the island and were looking for a simple, budget conscious, but modern home to retire to. As homebodies who like to cook the living/kitchen space was very important. They also wanted the deck/hot tub to be an extension of the master bedroom with a spa-like feel. Because they love to host friends or family for long weekends, the guest suite (that also serves as a home office) needed to feel private and separate even in the small… - [Higgins Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/higgins-beach-pj-vj~2764866) - Location: Scarborough, ME - Photos: 11 - Description: This 1,980 square foot, four season beach house is a daylight and view driven design with a crisp, clean cottage vernacular. Our clients, long time residents of the area, sought a quieter location within the community. They found a site with a small, dilapidated cottage that was a tear down. The site offered a quiet setting with spectacular southerly views of the tidal marsh, across to the main beach, and beyond. The pair of second story gables frame a transparent connecting form that bridges th… - [High Tide House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-tide-house-pj-vj~2743467) - Location: Kennebunk, ME - Photos: 10 - Description: Simplicity of form was a primary design objective for this contemporary dwelling that was built on a very limited budget. At its most basic, the house is a ‘shoebox’, a long thin rectangle with a flat roof, that has a pop-up second floor shed roof to accommodate additional program and to catch daylight from the south to throw down into the public spaces. Perched on the edge of a ravine overlooking a freshwater stream that flows into a tidal river, the view from this spectacular setting changes d… - [Wood Island Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-island-camp-pj-vj~2743400) - Location: Denmark, ME - Photos: 11 - Description: The clients, architects, and builder fell in love with the secluded, heavily wooded island and wanted to craft a design solution that embraced the site. To help achieve this goal the camp is built on piers allowing trees to remain close to the structure, nesting the building into the landscape and giving the sense that the camp has been on the site for many years. Designed primarily for summer living, the camp has a relaxed plan with the entry into a screened porch that blurs the boundaries betw… - [Heron Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heron-cottage-pj-vj~2739431) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 7 - Description: With two bedrooms and one bath, this 600 square foot, year-round, cabin is planned with the efficiency of a boat. - [Rhapsody Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rhapsody-cottage-pj-vj~2731953) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 13 - Description: The original, classic turn-of-the-century, cottage burned to the ground in the spring of 2011. The intent of the long-time owners was to recreate the spirit of the original cottage but create better flow and visually expanding living spaces. A porch was added as an outdoor living space that didn't exist before, and a first floor bedroom. The third floor attic became an office/guest bedroom/look-out. - [Panther Pond Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/panther-pond-camp-pj-vj~2731793) - Location: Raymond, ME - Photos: 13 - Description: A young family wanted a camp that took advantage of the lake views and captured as much light as possible. The structural roof beams and rafters were left exposed to maximize space and the perception of openness. A large screened in porch on the lake side of the house draws the views of the lake into the house. To keep the porch from obscuring the daylight to the downstairs, the southern roof plane was sheathed almost completely in glass panels. - [Big Boulder Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-boulder-camp-pj-vj~2682352) - Location: Orland, ME - Photos: 14 - Description: A Traditional, 3-season camp for a couple with 4 children; 2 additional families visit frequently AND need to be accommodated (approximately 20 people total). The clients wanted a camp with a deep wood “feel” that fit into the site as if it has been in place for generations. To diminish the visual mass of the whole, the house was designed as two parts; a main building and a 'bunk' side building. The space between the two sides is roofed and screened as a porch and serves as a central mudroom/ent… [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/winkelman-architecture-pfvwus-pf~916783812) ## Community Q&A **Q: Lights on Ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)* Are those the actual lights or are they just the brackets for lights that will be installed?
