Chesapeake Beach Residence

Chesapeake Beach, MD

This single-family home addition was placed to enhance its outdoor living spaces while integrating sustainability and accessibility. The steep site and zoning constraints required a thoughtful approach, blending new elements with the home's existing architecture while prioritizing soil erosion control and stormwater management. Terraced green spaces with native plantings and permeable pavers create a natural flow, minimizing environmental impact. A striking A-frame screened-in porch, along with a deck and walkway, extends the living space outdoors, seamlessly connecting to the front entrance. Solar panels, an EV charging station, and carefully integrated storage solutions add modern functionality, creating a cohesive and sustainable retreat.
