House on Solitude Creek

Saint Michaels, MD, United States

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2015
The design of this house was greatly influenced by environmental regulations and restrictive building codes specific to this site. The existing house was located within a 100 Foot Buffer Zone on Solitude Creek, a small estuary in Maryland’s Eastern Shore. No new structures can be built within the Buffer Zone, and all renovated or altered existing structures must be updated to meet new code requirements.

The existing structure was in poor condition. To maintain the proximity to the water, and to avoid building a new house outside the Buffer Zone, it was decided to remove the existing structure to the foundation, increase the height of the foundation two feet to be located above the newly adopted base flood elevation, and build a new structure above this.

The goals of the project were to take advantage of water views and provide light filled spaces, while accommodating the owners’ collection of modern art. In response to a relatively tight budget, the Massing and Materials are simple and straight forward. A combination of windows varying in size, shape and location animate the spaces, while providing controlled views of the water, pine forest and adjacent marshes.
