studioB-E Architecture | Planning & Development ConsultantsInspired by the stunningly beautiful environment of the Maine & New Hampshire Seacoast, at studioB-E we strive to create places, not just buildings, that nourish the individual and enhance the community. We are dedicated to meeting the demands of a changing built landscape by offering design & planning development services that align with the principals of New Urbanism and reflect the vitality of our local context.
For many years, the cornerstone of our practice has been thoughtfully considered, finely crafted, hand drawn, custom architectural design, often working in visually rewarding, but regulatory intense, waterfront areas. We are continuing to move toward a practice that is also focused on housing & incremental development, pulling from a breadth of design and consulting experience to create beautiful and sustainable places that we hope will address the needs of our community, especially for housing, at a neighborhood scale. With a background in planning and experience that includes service on local land use boards, we marry creative problem solving with the ability to understand the broader community context. Often, we’ve utilized expertise gained by serving on local land use boards to help our client’s realize the potential of difficult coastal sites, property constrained by zoning regulations or buildings requiring historic design review. We take joy in creating places that combine to meet both the needs of our clients and those of the community at large. We are housing advocates, locally, regionally & nationally, because we believe housing to be, perhaps, the greatest challenge facing contemporary society. We seek to address this challenge by looking to the ways our ancestors solved the same problem in this very place. They built the quaint, walkable, memorable, human scaled communities centered around accessible public space. Those village greens were bounded by public buildings & surrounded by a variety of homes, cottages, small commercial uses, accessory dwellings & multi-generational family compounds, what we now call “Missing Middle” housing, that combined to create the beautiful, livable place we enjoy today. |
