The deck’s glass railings allow a clear view of the adjoining woodland park. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the calming sounds of nature. With the yard backing onto a conservation area, special permits were required before construction could commence.

DESIGN BY Robert M. Gurney, FAIA. This four-time award-winning St. Michael’s property is a contemporary gem on the water. The owners of the property originally intended to renovate an existing ’80s structure, but soon realized it was beyond repair. Our team commenced a full tear down and rebuild on the existing footprint to keep with county regulations for waterfront structures. The result is a modern take on the lake house, a light-filled sanctuary built with integrity to stand the tests of time and the elements. Excellence in Custom Building Winner in Annapolis Home Magazine 2017.

The design of this residence began as a collaboration between Alka Construction and Rush Dixon Architects to continue Fulton Neighborhood’s “unique modern living” approach to the built environment. The collective goal was to create a “lowcountry modern” aesthetic that responds to the site. Prior to the commencement of construction the current homeowner purchased the property; we were then able to customize the design to their priorities and preferences.

Before commencing work on this project, the ceiling had accent beams that certainly added to the room’s appeal, but could be improved upon. We replaced these with stunning logs and configured them in a way that gave them the appearance of support beams.

Cottage Construction Complete. Garage Addition to be commenced in Spring 2017. This large open-concept custom cottage overlooking the lake is what every getaway is looking for. Boasting high cathedral ceiling in the Great room with a gas fireplace, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, Screened-In Porch, Large Gourmet Kitchen with Adjacent Dining Room and Office on 2nd Floor overlooking the lake. This place was everything the owner needed (and then some), but was lacking an attached Garage which was something they desired when looking to move to cottage country full time. Adding the Garage adjacent to the Kitchen and adding a transition room with a stairwell with access to the loft above the Garage, makes this addition function perfectly. The 3-Car Garage adds plenty of storage for the owner and adds a Gift Wrapping Area, Home Gym and Additional Storage Room.
