History & Custom Build
Abrigo Home originated from Amy Dutton Home. Our Founder Amy Dutton’s first job in design was at Bruce Gregga Interiors in Chicago upon graduating from DePauw College in 1988. The firm was divided equally between architects and interior designers, which inspired Amy’s great appreciation for the balance between the two practices. Upon moving to Maine in 1993, Amy quickly learned to add landscaping to her portfolio while working for a number of architecture and interior design firms. In 1998, after welcoming her second child, Elle, and realizing that daycare was a bit too expensive, Amy decided to off on her own and created her own studio. Situated on the front porch (and playroom) of her tiny cape in coastal Maine, Amy spent early mornings and late nights at her drafting table honing her own design aesthetic and developing relationships with clients throughout the area. As her family and children grew, so did her business. In 2007, she purchased that building that Amy Dutton Home and Abrigo Home still operate out of in Kittery, Maine. After twenty-four years of working throughout the Seacoast of New Hampshire and Maine, Amy has worked on over 160 custom projects, developing a clear entrepreneurial approach to working with both builders and homeowners alike.
Our History
Our Founder and Creative Director, Amy Dutton, founded Abrigo Home in 2022 as an extension of her design company Amy Dutton Home. At Amy Dutton Home, Amy works directly with clients on custom home renovations and new construction projects. Due to the labor shortages, supply-chain delays, increasing housing costs we’ve seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, custom architectural / interior design studios such as ours aren’t able to keep up. As a solution, Amy conceived Abrigo Home to expand many of our current design offerings – home plans, interior finish and material solutions, and one-on-one consultation time – to a wider audience. We hope Abrigo Home will allow our customers to create a living environment that reflects your sustainable lifestyle within process and budget parameters that you can control.
