A resilient, removable park manager's office and coastal residence lightly touching the landscape on helical piles.
Designed to support the stewardship of a dynamic coastal landscape, this compact facility combines administrative offices and on-site housing for year-round park operations. Supported by helical piles, the structure lightly touches the ground, minimizing site disturbance and allowing surrounding natural systems to evolve. Built for long-term resilience, the project pairs durable materials and high energy performance to withstand Maine’s harsh climate while reducing operational costs. Guided by an ethos of conservation, the building is designed to be removable at the end of its lifecycle, allowing full site restoration and reinforcing the park’s mission of environmental stewardship.
