A waterfront Annapolis escape immerses its residents in nature while meeting high standards of performance and design. Constructed by Bayview Builders with an eye on sustainability, the modern, 8,500-square-foot retreat is composed of three distinct volumes that capture sunlight and frame views of the lush forest canopy. In addition to two green roofs, the home features a chemical-free biopool filtered by aquatic plants and natural materials.
The team designed, reviewed and executed every detail in close collaboration. Challenges included tight site access, complex geothermal and hydronic heating systems and an intricate, commercial-grade lighting plan. “The final result,” says Bayview’s David Carlisle, “is a peaceful forest sanctuary that reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle, values—and deep connection to the land.”
