Envisioned as a tree house, this vacation home on the Severn River in Annapolis, Maryland is suspended over a steep slope and only accessible by bridge. The main top level of only 930 sq. ft is comprised of one large communal area and a screened porch. Continuous glass is unimpeded by using transparent kitchen wall cabinets allowing a tranquil view of the surrounding woods and river below. The ceiling features mortise and tenon trusses. The arts and crafts style finishes are dominated by exposed wood sustaining the sequestered warmth of a tree house. It has received a Washingtonian award, 2 other awards fom the American Institute of Architects, and has been widely published.
