Kay and Augusto are architects with a thriving Bar Harbor practice, A4 Architects. Their professional repertoire includes historic preservations and interior design. This building is the fourth they have personally purchased and revitalized in the area.
Their passion for good design is only rivaled by their incessant drive to travel, most often withe their four children or to visit one of them (one lives in Madrid, another in Glasgow, and a third in England). They have enjoyed experiencing how people live all over the world by staying in the homes of others, and equally enjoy extending that experience to travelers to Bar Harbor. They have rented two other properties over the course of the last two decades.
Kay was born in Maine and raised around the US as an Air Force brat, while Augusto was raised in southern Brazil. Kay and Augusto met in Barcelona while working on the 1992 Olympic Games related projects, and subsequently settled in Maine in late 1992.
They have been featured in each of the Bar harbor Designer Show Houses and their work published extensively in various magazines, including Homes by Downeast, Maine Home+Design, Builder+Architect, Italian Casa Vogue, el Croquis, Ardi, ON, Conde Naste, and others.
Kay currently serves as the President of the Maine Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and serves on the Appeals Board. Augusto is also an artist, photographer and gourmet cook.
