A 1970s ranch-style house was reimagined for a family of four by Ziger|Snead Architects, located in Roland Park, a historical residential enclave in Baltimore, Maryland. This stunning project includes a 2,000-square-foot guest house along with a re-envisioned landscape through a series of outdoor and transitional spaces.
The resulting compound embodies a sense of calm and provides repose for the young family amidst the hustle of the nearby city. In the main house, tight interior spaces are opened to invite a relationship with nature.
Clean lines and simple geometry emphasize the home’s modern gestures, while floor-to-ceiling windows and pocketing corner glass doors draw in views of the surrounding gardens. A servery window opens the kitchen to the outdoors. Warm white oak cabinetry was handcrafted by the homeowners.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and corner glass doors draw your eye outdoors from almost every room in the house. A new structure, the multi-level pool house/garage, expertly navigates the challenges of the steeply sloped site and provides the perfect anchor for backyard entertaining.
A dark exterior helps the building blend into its surroundings, while richly colored, V-groove Douglas Fir provides a visual connection between the new two-story building and the existing home. Surrounded by 100-year-old trees, the upper-level entertainment space opens wide to make the pool and gardens an extension of the house.
Area: 2,000 square feet Addition; 2,580 square feet Renovation; 1.05 acre Site Development.
