Creek Crossing Haus: A Modern Scandinavian Retreat in the Woods

Creek Crossing began as a wooded Maine retreat with great bones but in need of thoughtful updates. To get this young family settled quickly, we approached the project in phases—starting with light-touch renovations that made an immediate impact. We refreshed the home with paint, updated the bathrooms, refinished the floors, and brought new life to a sunny alcove with a custom breakfast nook that originally drew our clients to the house. A modern Stûv wood-burning stove now anchors the living space (a favorite for both the family and their cat), while a former guest room was reimagined as a flexible office with a Murphy bed. Next up: transforming part of the garage into a hardworking mudroom, followed by a full kitchen renovation.
