Baltimore Residence

Located on a historic street on the outskirts of Baltimore, the estate draws upon the essential organization and material quality of an existing period house by selectively transforming the existing arrangement from a compartmentalized structure into fluid spaces which display qualities of shadows and light upon varied smooth and textured wall surfaces. A large addition to the rear of the existing house provides rooms with transparent boundaries engaging a lush surrounding landscape. The addition inverts the existing traditional language of vertical windows puncturing load-bearing brick walls.
