Alan is a builder by trade and the owner and general manager of GO Logic LLC. Alan founded the business with architect Matthew O’Malia in 2008 with the sole purpose of designing and building Passive House buildings. 

After finishing his degree at Brown University, Alan landed in Maine in the late ‘80s as an organic farm apprentice, then bought 75 acres of land and built his own house. From there his carpentry work evolved into a general contracting business where, in spite of some resistance, he encouraged as much energy-efficient design as possible. Eventually the high-performance concept caught on, and when Passive House arrived it codified much of what he’d been trying to do all those years.

 Alan is a Certified Passive House Builder and Designer. He is secretary of the board of directors of Passive House Institute US and the Passive House Alliance US. He lives with his family on a farm in Belfast, Maine.

First on our list is the Portland Museum of Art.The public face of the Museum is the Charles Shipman Payson designed by Harry Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed Architects. The museum however is three vastly different and architecturally significant buildings that showcase architecture in Maine through the years. Next on our list is the Victoria Mansion. This much loved Portland landmark has amazing seasonal activities and tours of the beautiful architecture. If you are in Kennebunk check out the Wedding Cake House.

David Duncan Morris is the Director of Design at an award-winning architecture firm in Portland, Maine. Starting from a young age David’s love for houses is what inspired him to pursue architecture and he was often seen drawing whenever he could. Outside his professional life, he picks up his paper, pencils and watercolors to feed his own creative drive and to keep his love of drawing alive. The intent of his drawings is not to perfectly render a building but to capture the spirit of the building in a loose and expressive manner. He prefers to draw on site, but if distance and weather prevents this he can draw from photographs. David lives with his partner Justin, and their dog in the beautiful coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

In this week's episode we are going to talk about Maine Architecture and the different styles of houses you’ll see here in Maine. Maine is over 200 years old and so there are a lot of amazing houses with beautiful architectural design! Some houses you’ll see here are 17th century colonial houses. While these houses may be plain they are extremely practical due to the farms they would have been attached to. We also talk about Georgian houses which are the bigger upgraded version of the colonial. Also we talk about Federal houses that are larger and unique. Last but not least we go into Victorian houses with their large scale and intricate details. There are so many types of houses in Maine, which one is your favorite? Let us know down in the comments and remember, if you Make Maine Your Home, you don’t have to do it alone!
