Bohl Architects in collaboration with Marmol Radziner has designed this modernist home that frames the natural landscape, located on the bank of Whitehall Creek in Annapolis, Maryland. The owners had always dreamed of having a home with a strong connection to the environment.

They also wanted a house on the water, as he loves to fish and appreciates the sense of calm that comes with being so close to nature. Design-build studio Bohl Architects designed the frame, while California-based Marmol Radziner was brought in to finish the architecture and interior design of this efficient Gold certified Green home.

The exterior facade features mainly glass walls, combined with natural stone, ipe, and anodized bronze cladding. One of the ipe walls is carried into the interior, connecting indoor-outdoor spaces. Natural stone is also used in the interior, predominately on the massive fireplace surround.

The interior is finished in walnut and a warm gray concrete and features a two-story great room, with a library/den that overlooks it, and an open kitchen with a lounge area. The interior design is a melange of custom and vintage furniture with an array of materials and textures.

What We Love: The design of this modernist home was inspired by the landscape, featuring an organic and earthy material and color palette. Overlooking a tranquil creek, the owners can feel relaxed in their stylish refuge, feeling deeply connected with nature thanks to expansive walls of glass. We are especially loving the double volume living room, embracing the natural environment and leaving you with a sense of calm.

Very inspiring and cozy design. Choice of placing exterior windows and doors is very smart, bringinh the outdoors inside while preserving the intimacy of the interior.
