Contemporary Coastal Farmstead

Residing as the secondary farmstead on the family horse farm, this new, old house overlooks broad meadows, crop fields, horse pastures, and woodlands. The elevated site, which slopes gracefully down to a tranquil lily pad-covered pond, can be peacefully found on a coastal peninsula equidistant from the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, and its tributaries.

In its agrarian setting, this crisp modern design fuses an updated farmhouse vernacular with an expansive open-plan interior yielding panoramic glazing that engages its pristine natural environment. Natural light dominates the open-airy interior, with its simple clean-lined interiors creating a current but timeless ethos. Generous wraparound porches and balconies blur the lines between interior and exterior living for this young family of three and their dog.
