Lowe Beach House

These owners purchased a waterfront property in North Beach, MD with the intention of building a four-bedroom, two and a half bath vacation home.

In this piece, we intend to use phenolic wood panels and stucco to redefine what a contemporary beach home aesthetic is.  The previous owner of the site was a well-loved member of the community who would often stand on the porch greeting passers-by.  The Lowe's desired to commemorate this pillar of the community through the architecture of the new structure.  We responded by bringing the waterfront facade of the home to a point that would subtly but spectacularly render the sun and shadows in two different ways at once along this point as the sun passes over this East-West directional home.  We also maximized outdoor space with two exterior terraces and a top-floor recreation room that fully opens to the Chesapeake  Bay via a sliding door.

Location: North Beach, MD | Size: 3,000 SF | Construction Budget: TBD
