Maison Amtrak was designed by architect Peter Cohen for himself, his wife Sally and his Golden Retriever “Daisy”. Located in the coastal forests near Ellsworth, Maine and just above the Union River, the design allowed Peter to have the least impact on nature while taking advantage of the river landscape. The porch and entrance are Japanese-style, with beautiful horizontal Douglas fir cladding in a clean finish that contrasts with the soft silver gray of the vertical cladding used for the rest of the facade. The interior is a mix of mid-century modern and contemporary styles, with calm earth tones and lots of natural wood. I would say that Cohen’s love for Japanese designs is also clearly evident here. Cozy, stylish and eye-catching – what can be better?
