It’s not every day an architectural designer creates a home for himself or his family, but that is exactly what Joe Waltman, of Waltman Architectural Design, did with the Littlejohn Tower House in Yarmouth, Maine. All throughout his career Waltman has designed homes across the country, but he is perhaps best known for his coastal cottages. Each dwelling is superbly and uniquely designed on axis points to give natural flow and open sightlines for various focal points such as a fireplace, staircase, entryway or windowscape. Waltman expertly applied taller vistas and wide windows to create a balanced and open feel that is so desirable in today’s spaces. He stacked large casements to accentuate the height of the home using various trim and mulls adding visual strength to the interior design.
