2026 Architectural Design (Traditional) Honorable Mention: Classic Camp
Designed as a traditional Maine camp for multigenerational gatherings, this lakeside retreat has remained in the family since 1898. The upland facade is anchored by a stair tower that serves as a welcoming beacon for arriving guests while providing natural ventilation and a playful lookout for children. On the lake side, a generous wraparound porch with dormers above pays homage to the original camp that once stood on the site. Inside, fine craftsmanship defines the interiors, from exposed post-and-beam construction to extensive wainscoting and reclaimed oak floors. The result is a timeless camp that balances heritage and comfort while embracing its long-standing connection to place.
What the judges said: A wonderful interpretation of a classic lake house.
