MIDDLE RIVER WATERFRONT
MIDDLE RIVER WATERFRONT MIDDLE RIVER, MD
ONE AND TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
This contemporary house was designed on a difficult 50' wide waterfront lot in Middle River. The house took advantage of the footprint of the mother’s existing house (since razed) to maintain proximity to the water’s edge. The dwelling was designed for a couple, their children, and the mother of the family. In response, the house was designed with a central stair/elevator core joining two separate living pods for the respective generations. Because the entire site is located in the flood plain, the first floor containing sleeping areas is elevated a full story above grade, with the living spaces placed on the second floor above to take full advantage of the views. Furthermore, the traditional slope of the roof was inverted to maximize the height of the exterior walls to provide the home with an abundance of natural light and expansive vistas. The residence is constructed from sustainable, yet durable, materials to withstand the harsh waterfont environment.
