Bayside Contemporary
What was originally a weekend fishing getaway on the Chesapeake Bay is now a contemporary full-time home designed to fulfill the needs of owners transitioning into their golden years, thanks to architect The Drawing Board Inc., custom builder Lynbrook of Annapolis, interior designer Farnady Interiors, and landscaper McHale Landscape Design. The project entailed demolishing the original first floor to open up the space and bring in modern architectural elements. Raised ceilings create space for the floor-to-ceiling black-based windows that overlook the water. Unusual design elements include waterfall countertops, abstract wallpaper, and lighting fixtures. A central feature is the fireplace with dramatic wall-to-floor ceiling stones. Outside, the home boasts white nickel-gap and metal charcoal gray siding that matches the garage doors. These neutral colors and straight lines are repeated throughout the interior.
