Willem Bogardus

Having lived throughout New England, Willem was drawn to architecture by its eccentric history in the region, in particular that of Shingle-style houses. Willem spent summers in Downeast Maine as a child and was therefore quite pleased to return to Maine full-time in 2021. He holds a BA in Japanese History from Bowdoin College and a Master in Architecture degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His professional background is in cabinetmaking and residential carpentry.

In his free time, Willem enjoys playing squash, sailing, building things, playing fetch with his dog, Bo, and spending time with his wife, Rosa.
