Mountain Escape is a modern Danish home with a traditional Maine feel, designed by Priestley + Associates Architecture, located in Northport, Maine. While vacationing in Maine, the owners had desired a modern Danish home with a traditional Maine feel where they could cook, relax, and entertain.

This home has a minimalist feel and takes advantage of sweeping views of Penobscot Bay, optimal solar orientation, and extremely efficient heating systems. Exterior trellises and flat roofs were incorporated to allow the natural world to interact with the facade.

Priestley & Associates Architecture is a full service practice based in Rockport, Maine and Boston, Massachusetts. With emphasis on exceptional design, we create unique and original buildings to satisfy our client’s needs, often drawing inspiration from historical precedents. To us, the most successful designs appear to have a timeless quality and connectedness to their location.

You can also find our work books including The New Cottage Home and Cottage Style.
