Eastern Shore in Early Spring

On a lovely day in April, the talented architectural photographer Brian Vandenbrink photographed the new home we designed for a waterfront site on Maryland's historic and scenic Eastern Shore. We think he has captured the lively, modern spirit of the house; this is a house full of light yet designed for maximum passive cooling in the oppressive humidity of the summer months.

This view, from the kitchen out through the living and dining rooms to the water beyond, gives a sense of the open and airy character of the house, despite the fact that we have carefully shaded all of the window openings from the most direct of the sun's rays, through the use of overhangs and recesses in the wall. Take a close look at that stone on the countertop: an incredible find by our client. We liked it so much, we urged her to use it consistently through the house and it looks great.
