Breweries

A home brewer and beer lover, very few projects are more exciting for Chris than designing breweries. He has completed a number of breweries in Maine, including a new build in Scarborough, and renovations in Portland, Yarmouth, and Bath. He is currently designing a new brewery warehouse and pizzeria in Scarborough.

Commercial and Academic Projects

Prior to beginning his own firm in Maine, Chris worked for large firms in Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, and Durham, North Carolina. In these positions, he worked on large-scale commercial and academic buildings. Plinth has tackled a number of smaller but tricky projects, including an addition to a long-term, memory care facility and a recreational pot dispensary in Portland. He has also done accessibility reviews.

Historic Renovations

After renovating his own historic farmhouse in the early 2000s, Chris developed a particular interest in saving Maine’s historic homes. He is currently completing the renovation of two major houses in Topsham. His designs have painstakingly retained original details while bringing systems up to modern standards, breathing new life into these structures for decades to come. Because of the complexity of these projects, Chris also serves as project manager overseeing the construction phase of these renovations.

Plinth specializes in residential design projects of all types. Chris enjoys listening to his clients to really understand their needs. He offers creative solutions to create beautiful, livable spaces to meet a wide range of budgets.

CABINS

Chris has designed a number of small, environmentally friendly cabins that maximize the beauty of their environment but stay true to the character of the place.

ADDITIONS

Chris works with clients throughout Maine on additions, garages, home offices, saunas, and other out buildings. In Maine’s tight housing market, additions are critical for achieving residential clients’ goals and can really maximize the value and pleasure of your home.
