The last waterfront home we designed will stand in what is now a dune of sand--we had to consider structural and regulatory aspects from the very beginning. The client is extremely satisfied with the results.
The last historic project we worked on was the restoration of a Maryland landmark house. Not only did we document and designed historically appropriate features, but we also wrote a newsletter to inform anyone interested on the process of restoration of an eighteenth-century house. Last time we checked, we had +80 subscribers to the newsletter (www.cloverfieldspreservationfoundation.org).

Project Gallery

Award-winning architectural firm specializing in high-end architecture and in historic preservation. Architectural styles: farmhouse, shingle, tudor, colonial, classical, transitional, modern.
The head of our team is Devin Kimmel, AIA, ASLA, a licensed architect named "Top Architect H&D Portfolio" in a special issue of Home and Design magazine dedicated to professionals with “proven record and experience to design the house style of your dreams.” He was the only Annapolis architect included in the selective list.
Before obtaining this award, his architectural skills had been recognized on a number of opportunities. His architectural design of a waterfront house was selected as a top design by Houzz, and was featured in articles by Annapolis Home magazine and by Dering Hall. In an open competition for a national monument, his classical memorial was one of five designs selected as finalists down from 350 alternatives. He was commissioned to lead the preservation of a Maryland mansion built in 1705 by the Cloverfields Preservation Foundation.

Commercial Project (Outdoor Bar)
We found a real 1960s Chesapeake deadrise oyster boat, turned it into a bar, and designed a fitting boat shed around it. The shed roof and siding was reclaimed from a nearby barn, the bar stools are made from boat stands and the boat sits on rail road tracks so that it can be moved from the building creating a multipurpose pavilion. (Anchored in at Hidden Harbor, Deale, Maryland)

|
Waterfront Farmhouse
Inspired by tidewater farms of Maryland's Eastern Shore, this home was designed as an ensemble of buildings connected by enclosed and open porches. The modern farmhouse looks as if it were composed of structures that were built over time, and that were then connected. This helps with the overall massing and scale of the house. The tidewater farm features river views on three sides.
