Local Living_Final.indd 10 3/30/21 8:01 AM cquiring a parcel of waterfront property where you plan to build a dream home is like becoming the care- taker of a beautiful jewel. WhileA enjoying the views and the experi- ence of making your architectural mark on a site, you also assume the role of protector to some of the area’s most precious and valuable land. “Buying waterfront property for your custom home comes with lots of extra challenges,” says Trey Rider, a real estate agent and vice president of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in Easton. “There are critical rules in place that are environmen- tally friendly and impact what you can and cannot build on a waterfront lot.” A team of experts knowledgeable about local regulations, including a real estate agent, civil engineer, architect and builder, will be necessary partners in the creation of a home that matches your vision. On the following pages, area experts weigh in on what to consider every step of the way.

VIEW FROM THE TOP When you buy property on a river, tributary or bay, a plan that maximizes water views is crucial. “Waterfront lots are expensive, so it’s important to work with an architect who can make the most of the land,” notes Marta Hansen, principal of Hansen Architects in Annapolis. “Once we know the land we have to work with, we start the design process by looking for the best view—the one you want from the rooms you use the most, such as the great room, the kitchen and the primary suite.” Hansen also watches the pattern of the sun across a property to prioritize natural light. At Annapolis-based Hammond Wilson, architect and principal Leo Wilson begins the process by determining the size of the house. “We then talk about how to site it on the land to take advantage of views, sunrise, sunset and even the wind,” he

relates. “The waterfront itself drives the layout because people want their primary suite to be private but have a water view. We try to design the informal living spaces and kitchen near the pool but keep the formal living spaces away from it because you don’t want to look at a pool cover during the winter months.” Restrictions on how close you can build to the shoreline and what percentage of a property can be developed mean that newer homes on the Eastern Shore often are very vertical, with two or more stories to create enough living space—and more rooms with a view. “During one project we brought a manlift to the property to show the owner the perspective from the second floor so he could approve the design,” recalls Three Annapolis abodes constructed by Bayview Builders emphasize indoor-outdoor living.

For boaters and non-boaters alike, a carefully designed custom home can bring indoor-outdoor living to a new level. “Outdoor living is even more important by the water,” Wilson notes. “So waterfront homes need a seamless connection between the interior and exterior.”

TIMELINE TIPS Purchase contracts for waterfront lots typically include a 30-to-90-day window for a feasibility study, even if the land already includes a structure that will be torn down. According to Wilson, the design process takes between nine and 12 months, during which period permits can be requested. Construction will require an additional 12 to 18 months before owners can settle in and begin to enjoy their new home. P PHOTOS: ANNE GUMMERSON CHESAPEAKE VIEWS P 15

Currently, the group includes 14 venues, from Dove Valley Winery near Elkton in the north to Bordeleau Winery near Salis- bury in the south. Most hold CROW VINEYARD tastings and special events year-round—and the fruits of their labor are getting noticed. Crow Vineyard, Chateau Bu- De and Dove Valley all won awards at the 2020 Maryland Governor’s Cup competition. Judy Crow enjoys hosting visitors from metropolitan areas. “They are in awe of the beauty and openness of the Eastern Shore,” she remarks. “To be able to stop and im- merse themselves in these farm wineries is really important.

EXCEPTIONAL EXECUTION

GRAND REOPENING An Annapolis museum honors the Chesapeake Bay’s maritime heritage

new, state-of-the-art gallery heralded the April 24th reopening of A the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park, which closed its doors in December 2019 for extensive renovations. Now housing three interactive exhibits, the reimagined museum aims to engage visitors and inspire envi- ronmental stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay and its surroundings. In Bay Health, an aquarium (above) compares the quality of the bay’s waters now and in the pristine era before human contact, while an interactive journal explains the local watershed; Oyster Industry (top) reveals oyster-harvesting methods while sharing the heritage and personal stories of the trade via a holographic waterman; and Annapolis Waters invites visitors to virtually join a boat race mid-stream, spend time on an oyster boat or kayak across ƓƐƏ҃ѶƑƑ҃ƒƐƒƏ the bay. Says AMM president Alice Estrada, “There’s nothing more stimu- "$ķ ƑƐѵƏƐ lating than a great exhibition. Our new exhibits not only provide high-tech learning experiences but also deliver on the wonderful art of storytelling.” For more information, visit amaritime.org. —Julie Sanders

Rooms_may2_NewText.indd 24 3/30/21 8:18 AM RESTFUL RETREAT When interior designer Christy Brown was tapped to work her magic in a waterfront home under renovation in Annapolis, the goal was to prioritize its expansive views, which take in both Whitehall Bay and Pleasant Lake. Among the bay-facing rooms is the owners’ bedroom, which enjoys access to an expansive deck through a glass-fronted door flanked by windows. Brown set the tone with walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s bold Newburyport Blue. “The clients’ favorite color is blue—and with the water just beyond, this was the obvious choice for the palette,” she explains. Beige fabrics and rug offset the deep hue while high- lighting the water vista. Pleated drapery in a Kravet linen-and-silk blend frames the window wall; Brown concealed hardware in a pocket behind the crown molding to create a sense of height and breadth for the windows. A bed, chair and ottoman from Hickory White beckon the residents to relax and soak up the scenery. For more on this house, see “Before + After” on page 64.

FAMILY TIME Located on 21 acres in Stevensville, Maryland, a sprawling home on Eastern Bay proved an idyllic perch for a couple with five active boys—but the interiors needed some work. The owners tapped a design team that included Lisa Tullai of Annapolis Interiors to overhaul the 2005 house with a fresh, new look and better functionality. The wife “was struggling with colors and finishes,” Tullai recalls. “In discus- sion, I realized that she first needed the house to function better for the family—then we could tackle the design.” A rear addition with a vaulted ceiling and a wall of windows created space for a bigger kitchen and a breakfast nook—while making the views center stage. Tullai guided the design in a transitional direction, selecting coastal shades of sand and blue “so as not to interrupt the view,” and sur- faces with a rustic, organic feel such as a shiplap ceiling, reclaimed-stone walls and an Arhaus tabletop in marble mosaic. Chairs in Leather- craft performance fabric are designed to withstand life in a rough-and-tumble family.

CHILL OUT Inspired by the historic, 18th-century Shiplap House in Annapolis with its steeply pitched roof and gabled end, architect Devin Kimmel embraced what he terms “Tidewater Modern” style in the contemporary design of an Annapolis home overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. “The massing of the structure is reminiscent of early American Tidewater homes, but the forms have been abstracted,” he explains. With its pitched roof, the adjoining pool house echoes the home’s aesthetic. Open on three sides via Western Windows bi-fold doors, the structure is crowned by a vaulted mahogany-plank ceiling. Silver travertine clads both the pool-house floor and pool deck, and a stucco fireplace occupies one wall. The pool house is tucked to one side of the home so as not to impede water views, and acts as a buffer from the neighboring property. Native plantings frame the view. Visible past the pool and gardens, an existing structure was repurposed for the homeowners as a crab shack—in keeping with its Chesapeake Bay locale.

KITCHEN KARMA For Stevensville, Maryland, clients embarking on a renovation of their abode on the Chester River, an overhaul of the dated kitchen was key. While kitchen designer Joni Zimmerman devised the layout, interior designer Katie Carlin, who masterminded the other interior spaces, imparted coastal charm through materials, finishes and cabinet profiles. “The home is built on a peninsula with water on three sides,” recounts Carlin. “The kitchen was designed to maximize the sweeping views. There is not a seat from which you can’t see the water.” Picture windows and sliding-glass doors replaced casements, and built-in bench seating hugs the room’s perimeter, continuing around the bay window’s breakfast nook where diners gather at a custom Tritter Feefer pedestal table. The new layout caters to the husband’s desire to cook and entertain simultaneous- ly, via a curved island topped by stained, quarter-sawn oak. Ten Woodbridge Fur- niture stools upholstered in Perennials fabric all face the chef. Crisp white and pale blues keep the room bright; soft valances frame the windows and Troy Lighting chandeliers add interest. P

CV_NorthPoint_in10.indd 48 3/30/21 8:40 AM ometimes a destination sticks with you long after other memories of a trip have faded. Such was the case when a father bound for the beach with his three kids stopped for lunch in Easton, Mary- land. “I fell in love with the town,” he reflects. “It was always in the back of my mind.” Little did he know that decades later this pristine Eastern Shore spot would lure him back. Now based in Florida, the businessman was searching for a site Swhere he and his wife could build a vacation home and rendezvous with their grown kids, who live in New York. As he explains, “I love boating and wanted to have a place on the Chesapeake.” When he and a real estate broker landed by boat on an aban- doned two-acre property overlooking the Tred Avon River, the stars aligned. “It’s on a point so it has 180-degree visibility,” the buyer marvels. “And the water was deep enough for a dock.” He acquired the land, then tapped his son, Daniel Grehl, and Erika Martins of Brooklyn-based Martins Grehl Architects to design his retreat. Though a home previously built on-site was destroyed by fire 15 years ago, the architects were able to salvage the driveway and some mature trees that dotted the property. They positioned the dwelling to optimize views of the river and an untamed parcel to the north. “Reaching out to the landscape and bringing the landscape in was a driving factor,” notes Grehl. The client gave the architects a wide berth, making a few mod- est requests: a fireplace, a dining table that would seat a dozen and hardwood floors for warmth. “I wanted high ceilings but not giant, cavernous spaces,” he observes. Though modern, his aesthetic leans more Frank Lloyd Wright than Frank Gehry, says Martins. “Daniel’s father was drawn to natural materials and the horizontality of Wright’s work so we tried to emphasize horizontal lines in our plan.” The duo designed a 3,750-square-foot, L-shaped home consisting of intersecting rectangular forms. The main volume parallel to the river houses the living area, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor and the owners’ suite above. A perpendicular wing contains two en-suite guest rooms on the main floor and another upstairs. A primary axis travels along the entry path through the front door, revealing views of a greenery-filled courtyard and the river beyond. Modern in spirit, the retreat pays homage to local vernacular with cedar siding, white oak floors and a gabled roof reminiscent of historic tobacco barns. “We gravitated toward contemporary design

CV_NorthPoint_in10.indd 51 3/30/21 8:40 AM but with cues we picked up along the way,” remarks Grehl. “Re- searching the Eastern Shore, you come to understand the heritage and building archetypes.” Accustomed to designing row houses and apartments in their New York City practice, the architects welcomed the chance to think outside the box in detailing this freestanding dwelling. A vertical element to the left of the front entry is swathed in off-white Nichiha fiber-cement panels; it anchors the main staircase inside. Weathered Corten steel panels that frame the front courtyard and entrance ac- centuate the passage of time. “We liked the poetics of that,” Grehl adds, “especially because it’s a multi-generational family’s house.” Interior selections, from the RH living room and dining furniture to the Mod kitchen cabinets, echo the organic color palette of the exterior materials. “We wanted soft, neutral colors that would let the views be dominant,” says Martins. “We didn’t want to distract from nature.” Early in the process, Annapolis landscape architect Jordan Loch Crabtree was hired to transform the overgrown property into one that embraces sustainability and laid-back living. “Our studio believes in creating intentional spaces for people to connect with one another and with nature,” says Crabtree. His plan included a great lawn, an arrival courtyard and a bluestone pool terrace complete with a fire pit and dining area. He also converted an

An island hosts casual meals in the kitchen; the countertops and backsplash are Mykonos quartzite. Corten steel panels carve a path, on axis with the home’s entryway, through an elliptical garden mound lush with native grasses and perennials. Similar panels frame the front courtyard lawn. The pool terrace houses a grill and dining area off the kitchen.

The meadow performed another special function in October 2019, shortly after the residence was completed. Erika Martins and Daniel Grehl, who are not only partners in business but also in life, got mar- ried on-site with the meadow, the Tred Avon and the house they designed together forming an idyllic backdrop. Since then, Martins Grehl Architects and Loch Collective have won prestigious design awards for the project. And the owners and their family have made many more memories at the Maryland refuge, especially during the pandemic. Martins and Grehl enjoy relaxing in the pool and the indoor sauna (which they built themselves under the TV loft in the main wing) and on the home’s many terraces and decks. As for Daniel’s father, he reports, “I love taking a glass of wine to the tip of the dock and watching the sun go down.” His 29-foot motorboat is moored on-site and he enjoys surveying yachts as they sail by. “Somebody’s cooking, somebody’s playing with the dog and I think, ‘This is what we wanted,’” he reflects. “A place for the family to go for many years—hopefully a couple of generations.” P

Once the new floor plans were complete, Dayton and Feldman teamed up with the owners to develop the home’s aesthetic. “It’s a post-and-beam structure, but not rustic,” explains Dayton, who wrapped the exposed woodwork in crisp white oak to match new wide-plank, white oak floors throughout. Feldman conceived a clean-lined, organic palette of black-and- white tones accented by wood and brass. Shiplap and board-and- batten paneling add coastal flair. “The setting is beautiful and it was

CV_Zoe.indd 61 3/30/21 8:52 AM the star,” the designer observes. “So we created neutral interiors that would complement the outdoors and allow the views to shine.” Feldman collaborated with Lobkovich Kitchen Designs on the kitchen, selecting finishes while principal J. Paul Lobkovich con- figured the layout. Though the owners initially wanted everything white, recalls the wife, “Zoë pushed me out of my comfort zone on that, and I’m so glad she did.” Cabinets are painted a deep blue- black, offset by extensive white subway tile on the walls; copious pantry space made it possible to eschew upper cabinets in favor of open, white oak shelving. The wet bar upstairs is painted the same blue-black hue for continuity. When it came time to decorate the home’s six en-suite bathrooms and three powder rooms, the wife suggested one look for all. “I was overwhelmed,” she recalls, “but Zoë felt that the baths are their own separate spaces and should all be different. Now, I love that each room has its own feel.” For instance, the main-level owners’ bath boasts a white porcelain-tile floor, a weathered-oak double vanity and a shower enclosure clad in blue-black subway tile, while the upstairs one features honed-slate floor tile and twin marble washstands atop iron bases. Though Feldman selected decorative lighting, rugs and accesso- ries, much of the furniture was acquired through the husband’s business, with the designer weighing in on choices that lean toward neutral, relaxed and a bit eclectic. The results are just what the owners wanted. “This was a labor of love,” enthuses the wife. “We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.” P

The interiors now form an elegant backdrop for an extensive art collection. Says Brown, “Patrick and I worked with a local gallery to curate almost every piece, so the home truly doubles as a live-in art gallery.”

BEFORE SUNRISE One cold November morning, Potomac photographer Lee Goodwin was driving to an early shoot on the Eastern Shore. As dawn began to break, he spotted the beginnings of a rosy sunrise over the Kent Island Narrows. Stopping on Route 50 to take a few shots, he captured the Kent Island Yacht Club’s dock above a glassy surface tinted pale orange. “There was almost no wind that day, and I was experimenting with longer exposures over still waters,” he recalls. “I really liked the mirror effect.” Photo: Lee Goodwin
