Stained-oak walls pay  homage to the forest while stone floors echo rocky shores near the water’s edge.

Accordion doors by Loewen connect the interior and exterior; retractable screens keep bugs at bay.

Bordered by a forest reserve, an eco-friendly getaway designed by architect Amy Gardner celebrates its waterfront Annapolis locale. The 8,500-square-foot home weaves together landscaping and the built environment  in a sequence of interconnected spaces.  The property is organized around a garden court, with a biopool on its southern boundary. From its terraces to its retractable walls, the home bonds with nature at every turn.

“Amazing connection to nature through views and interior materials.”
