Best New Home 2015: Creating a Cottage for Today (Video)

Take a look inside the HOUSES Awards Best New Home 2015.

Designed by architect Caleb Johnson of Biddeford, Maine, this house, our best new home (2015), succeeds admirably in balancing traditional expectations and contemporary demands. It encapsulates an easy-going floor plan within a time-honored form modernized with unexpected curves and discreetly placed openings. All this adds up to a new home that challenges cherished architectural assumptions without abandoning its local vernacular.
