Old World, Shingle-Style

This residence evokes the Shingle Style with an Old World feeling both inside and out. Sited proudly on a rise with views toward an expansive lawn, the home quietly commands the site. The approach to the house is by means of a driveway that follows the hillside border between the rolling lawn and a mature forest. Designed for gracious entertaining and with attention to detail, a central gallery links the major areas of the house. In contrast, the more private living spaces allow for a relaxed and intimate family lifestyle. The views are spectacular enough that the client requested a rooftop terrace and widow’s walk. 3-D modeling at the concept development stage enabled the clients to accelerate the design process with confidence and clarity of vision. This home was featured in Chesapeake Home magazine’s October 2003 issue.
