Architect Per Bornstein and his daughter Velma relax in the living room. The woodburning stove was a second-hand store find. -
North Haven, a rocky island in Maine’s Penobscot Bay, is quintessentially New England. As it happens, so is this boat barn–inspired brand of rugged, regional modernism, shown here with a dusting of February snow. -
