The resulting compound embodies a sense of calm and provides repose for the young family amidst the hustle of the nearby city. 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/garag… - [Euchtman House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/euchtman-house-pj-vj~7637546) - Location: Baltimore, MD - Photos: 7 - Description: Nestled in Baltimore City, the 1939 Euchtman House—a petite pre-WWII Usonian masterpiece—has been thoughtfully restored with a deep respect for Frank Lloyd Wright’s design philosophy. The journey began with a transformative kitchen renovation in 2018, where small moves made a big impact. Relocating the refrigerator to a cypress-clad corridor freed up space and created a streamlined flow. New cypress cabinetry and black stone countertops blend seamlessly with the home’s original materials, while… - [Potomac House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/potomac-house-pj-vj~7637529) - Location: Potomac, MD - Photos: 11 - Description: A young couple desired a new contemporary home with a strong connection to place. The four bedroom, 5,400-square foot home is set on thick concrete walls that acts as a dividing spine separating a formal, curated landscape on the west from the cascading contours of the steeply sloped site on the east. The form of the house is elemental - a dark Shou Sugi Ban box contrasts the smooth concrete walls below. A vertical chimney of daylight emphasizes the main stair that connects the two levels, its f… - [Five Gables](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/five-gables-pj-vj~7637554) - Location: Lancaster, PA - Photos: 16 - Description: Nestled on the scenic edges of the Lancaster Country Club and the Conestoga River, Five Gables integrates with the natural surroundings and is a welcoming beacon for the owner and golfer alike. The 8,500-square-foot residence replaces a smaller single-story home, expanding to meet the growing needs of the family while respecting the valued qualities of the site. The home is comprised of a collection of five gabled structures, each tailored in size and height to meet specific functional needs: pu… - [Roland Park Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roland-park-residence-pj-vj~5833940) - Location: Baltimore, MD - Photos: 22 - Description: Smithouse Construction Photography: Virtuance - [Prouts Neck House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prouts-neck-house-pj-vj~5830599) - Location: Baltimore, MD - Photos: 14 - Description: Seeking a retreat property for their family, a recently retired couple found this prominent waterfront property in Proutt’s Neck, Maine. With a desire to make the new home feel like it has been there forever, the architectural design references the traditional coastal typology of Maine estate homes, with hipped-gable roofs, cedar shingle siding, and copper flashing. The interiors boast tall coffered ceilings with high windows that fill the space with natural light. The decorations introduce anti… - [Woodland Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-residence-pj-vj~5871985) - Location: Lutherville-Timonium, MD - Photos: 16 - [Slate House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slate-house-pj-vj~5572636) - Location: Brooklandville, MD - Photos: 20 - Description: Situated on 3 acres and surrounded by Maryland Environmental Trust land, the Slate House is a contemporary retreat that respects the nature and legacy of the vast and densely wooded site. The new 7,000-square foot residence replaces a late 60’s, ranch-style house that was destroyed by fire. The recent house fire created a physical, emotional, and ecological shift between owners, land, and the surrounding ecology. Rising from the ashes of its predecessor, the design reconnects owner to the site a… - [Sugarloaf Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sugarloaf-residence-pj-vj~1767815) - Location: Frederick, MD - Photos: 7 - [Gunpowder Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gunpowder-woods-pj-vj~1767852) - Location: Glen Arm, MD - Photos: 11 - Description: Nestled in a densely wooded setting overlooking a pond, the 1970’s home with an extensive art collection is expanded with a small addition that provides both comfort and improved functionality. The focus of the addition is a prominent living area with thoughtfully designed windows that provide views to the woods and pond beyond while also creating a gallery for the painting collection. The new living area allows the dining room to relocate and the entry foyer to become a gallery sitting room. Th… - [Passive House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/passive-house-pj-vj~5572555) - Location: Baltimore, MD - Photos: 10 - Description: The Fells Point Passive House fulfills the aspirations of a couple dedicated to urban living, resilient design, and environmental stewardship. The development repurposes an underutilized urban lot in Baltimore’s historic Fells Point neighborhood into a home built to the Passive House standard and a separate office unified by a new private garden, as well as two income-generating rental units. The design solution removes the roof of the former garage and warehouse and inserts a two-story ultra hi… - [Woodvalley House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodvalley-house-pj-vj~13542) - Location: Pikesville, MD - Photos: 35 - Description: At the end of a quiet residential street lined with low-slung 1960s ranch-style homes, the Woodvalley House provides its owner a contemporary, private retreat. The house, nestled into the hillside to minimize the scale of its 6200 square feet, affords direct and unobstructed access and views to the landscaped rear yard, gardens, and wooded ravine beyond the edge of the property. The simply articulated main body of the house is wrapped in a zinc rain-screen system and captures the kitchen, dining… - [Gerstung Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gerstung-residence-pj-vj~113351) - Location: Baltimore, MD - Photos: 11 - Description: Originally built in the 1960s, this residence holds an impressive collection of art that benefits from natural light and an open, simple plan. One of the priorities of this renovation was to open up the living areas, reconfiguring the living room by introducing floor-to-ceiling windows and removing wood paneling to lighten the room. Natural building materials provide a neutral backdrop to the art, forming an environment that appeals to the eye without drawing one's attention away from the collec… - [River House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-house-pj-vj~13538) - Location: Jamaica, VA - Photos: 30 - Description: The River House is a weekend retreat located on the Rappahannock River in Virginia. Sited on a pre-engineered and cleared site, the 3500- square-foot house marks the intersection of three landscapes: natural forest, wetlands, and a mile-wide river. The long and slender house is comprised of nine-and-one-half 12’ x 22’ structural steel bays (8 bays of interior space and 1.5 bays of screened porch) sitting on poured concrete foundation walls which were left partially exposed due to the steeply slo… [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/ziger-snead-architects-pfvwus-pf~939608783) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
