The project began with looking at the context. We were designing a building that we knew would be abstractly, formally different from the rest of the houses you see along the water’s edge. We ensured that the color, texture, and scale of it was reflective of what you see around Annapolis harbor. For the owners, it needed to be exquisitely modern and minimalistic in nature. It needed to be unique and eclectic. It needed to be efficient. The quality of the home needed to be exceptional.
