Middlefork Luxury Home BuildersThis gracious property in the award-winning Blaine school district - and just off the Southport Corridor - marries an old world European design sensibility with contemporary technologies and unique artisan details. With more than 5,200 square feet, the home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the second floor, including a luxurious master suite with a private terrace.
The house also boasts a distinct foyer; formal living and dining rooms designed in an open-plan concept; an expansive, eat-in, gourmet kitchen which is open to the first floor great room; lower-level family room; an attached, heated, 2-½ car garage with roof deck; a penthouse den and roof deck; and two additional rooms on the lower level which could be used as bedrooms, home offices or exercise rooms. The home, designed with an extra-wide floorplan, achieved through side yard relief, also has considerable, professionally-landscaped outdoor living spaces.
This brick and limestone residence has been designed with family-functional experiences and classically proportioned spaces in mind. Highly-efficient environmental technologies have been integrated into the design and construction and the plan also takes into consideration the incorporation of all types of advanced communications systems.
The home went under contract in less than 45 days in 2011.

Closet FactoryRevamping the laundry room brings a blend of functionality and style to an often-overlooked space. Upgrading appliances to energy-efficient models enhances efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Custom cabinetry and shelving solutions maximize storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and laundry essentials, promoting an organized and clutter-free environment. Consideration of ergonomic design, such as a folding counter or ironing station, streamlines tasks and adds a touch of convenience.
Thoughtful lighting choices, perhaps with LED fixtures or natural light sources, contribute to a bright and inviting atmosphere. Flooring upgrades for durability, such as water-resistant tiles or easy-to-clean materials, can withstand the demands of laundry tasks.
Ultimately, a remodeled laundry room not only elevates its practical functionality but also transforms it into a well-designed, efficient space that makes the often-dreaded chore of laundry a more pleasant experience.

Westmark Construction Ltd.In collaboration with developer Century Group, the Townhomes at The Ridge is the first in a multi-phase development. The goal of this project is to develop a neighborhood of simple, durable, energy-efficient homes in an environment that offers “old time values”.
Natural building materials were used to save energy and minimize maintenance. The townhomes feature vaulted 9’ ceilings, oak hardwood floors in main living areas, low flow fixtures, and barrels for rainwater collection. Glass doors lead from living rooms into gorgeous outdoor living spaces. Strong consideration was given to building environmentally friendly homes which were sited to preserve natural features, and as a result, this development has achieved Built Green Gold Status.

Maryland Building Industry AssociationBeazer Homes for Wincopia Farms, a 220 home site community comprising 171 single-family homes and 49 townhomes in Laurel, MD. In consideration of the sensitive nature of preserved environmental buffers and storm water management regulations, micro bioretention and sand filtration techniques were used to protect the run-off, pervious driveways allow water to be absorbed naturally rather than draining into the streets and 39 acres were preserved for forest conservation. Of the entire 127-acre site, just 33 acres were cleared. Based on a review of historical information, the majority of the site consisted of agricultural fields. The Wincopia Farms entry monuments were designed to resemble the last standing stone walls of civil war era housing and the fencing that ties the community together also harkens back to this time. The stone used in much of the walls' construction was recycled from the old farmhouse's foundation found on the site.

Habitable FormHarmonized on the edge of a tidal marsh of Bohicket Creek on Johns Island, a house was built for a young, growing family. Constructed within a tight budget, architectural poetics were sought through integrated design. The sensitive landscape drove a design concept that floats above the forest floor and blends in with the habitat of the marsh edge. There was consideration for sustainable materials and construction methods, environmental and climatic analysis as well as resilient design. Raw, simple construction methods and materials were used to infuse the spirit of boat docks and agricultural structures of Johns Island.
