We are pleased to announce our recent awards for Excellence in Design: The Old Hopkins Road House won an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects, Maryland. And the Woodlawn Museum won a Merit Award from the Potomac Valley AIA.
The Islesford Dock Gallery is located at 1 Main Street on Little Cranberry Island, Islesford, Maine. It is part of the Islesford Dock, which was once an operating lobster and shellfish dock before being converted to a quaint art gallery and restaurant. Miche Booz will be exhibiting his water based media paintings in the gallery space this summer.
The vision for the Old Hopkins Road (Gaddy) House and surroundings was to build the most environmentally friendly and beautiful house possible in the most socially responsible way possible.
The house has now received the following four certifications:
• Living Building Challenge - Certified Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) v2.1
• Living Building Challenge - Petal Certified
• Passive House Institute US - PHIUS+2015 - PHIUS+ Source Zero

“This project exquisitely restores a stone barn and its adjacent carriage house for public use as a visitor center and museum at the Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park. The integrity of the original structures is preserved and the history of the local African American and Quaker communities reinterpreted through multi-media exhibits. ”
