A custom small lake home built from a 100-year-old boathouse. Scandinavian restraint meets Maine camp warmth: white clapboard and deep-green trim outside, glowing pine and long lake views within.
Design that makes a small home feel twice its size, and half as far from nature.
End-to-end design of small homes — Scandinavian simplicity, Maine camp soul.
A studio for small homes that live far larger than their footprint.
Scandicamp Designs handles the whole arc of a small home — from the first sketch of how a space should feel to the last detail of how it's finished. We draw on Scandinavian design's clarity and restraint, and pair it with the warmth of Maine camp living.
The result is simple, functional, and quietly connected to the landscape it sits in: rooms that feel generous, light that does the work, and nothing that isn't earning its place.
Projects
Three homes · Maine · California · FloridaA rooftop home with sweeping views of San Francisco Bay, designed with bright, light-filled interiors to counter the city's famous grey skies — airy whites, warm floors, and pops of color.
A beachside retreat with direct access to sand and water, designed around tropical elements: banana-leaf greens, ocean blues, and natural rattan that bring the island indoors.

About the studio
Scandicamp Designs is a small studio built on a simple belief: a well-designed small home can feel more generous, more restful, and more connected to nature than a house many times its size.
We work end to end — shaping how a space lives before we shape how it looks — across a handful of homes at a time in Maine, California, and Florida. Every project starts with the same three questions: how should it feel, how should it work, and how does it belong to the land around it.

Simplicity
Fewer things, chosen well. Nothing in a room that isn't earning its place.
-

Small footprints designed to work hard, so daily life feels effortless.
-
Nature
Light, materials, and views that keep the outdoors close at hand.

Warmth
Scandinavian calm with the lived-in soul of a Maine camp.
