Welcome to Cottage Brook

Cottage Brook is more than a house or a place to live. It’s about a lifestyle. It’s about a simpler way to live. It’s about living well with less.

Located in the quiet community of Cape Elizabeth, Cottage Brook is intended for families seeking the comfort of a compact 1400-2400 square-foot home, the beauty of highly-detailed design elements, and environmentally-friendly features in a neighborhood minutes from schools, beaches and the city.

The trend of larger homes is turning as families are realizing that bigger isn’t always better  - let alone affordable. New homes, after doubling in size since 1960, are shrinking. Last year, for the first time in at least 10 years, the average square footage of single-family homes under construction fell dramatically. Families want to feel closer and make choices that help lower rising energy costs and impact the environment in a positive manner.

We create small home plan designs that give families everything they typically look for in a larger home, including all of the modern conveniences, privacy and storage areas, without sacrificing detail. By concentrating on design that fits the family, there is less wasted space in a home, and less wasted money. We trade excess square footage for efficient use of space and include rich architectural details, intimate nooks, character and comfort.  Our homes are designed for low maintenance and low operating costs.

At Cottage Brook we’re committed to designing homes for a simpler yet, rich lifestyle. Living well with less.

Cottage Brook is more than a place to live, it’s a lifestyle.
