THE ALEXANDER BROWN RESTAURANT
One of the city’s newest restaurants opened in
February in a gorgeous Baltimore landmark that
formerly housed investment giant Alex. Brown &
Sons. Alexander Brown was an Irish merchant-
turned-financier whose descendants still own the
building that survived Baltimore’s disastrous fire.
The family partnered with Tampa, Florida-based
Caspers Co. to develop the space. Allison Casper
Adams, a company principal, says the building’s
history appealed to her and her brother, Blake Casper.
“The building is the reason we are there,” she notes.
“It’s unique and special.” Diners are greeted by the
landmark’s original marble walls and columns and a

 ANCHORS AWAY IN DEALE
A grounded 1960s oyster boat is
reborn as a rustic watering hole
When the owners of Hidden Harbor Marina in Deale, Maryland,
tapped Devin Kimmel to design a freestanding bar on site, the
Annapolis architect decided to go nautical. Critical-area laws
ruled out siting the bar directly on the waterfront, but another
idea dawned on him: “floating” it within view of the water and
boatyard in a retrofitted boat.
As luck would have it, they discovered Southern Belle, a 1960s
deadrise oyster boat, languishing in drydock. “She had an elon-
gated shape, flat sides and great horizontal lines, which made her
ideal for a bar,” Kimmel recalls. The owners bought the 39-foot
Belle and the architect had its cockpit outfitted with the inner-
workings of a bar. Teak counters were installed on her sides and
Clockwise from far left: a coat of sealant preserved her weathered patina.

Playful and practical, these outdoor
showers bring the beach home
While raising three young kids in Manhattan Beach, California, Hansni Thadhani
was struck by a bright idea born of necessity as she rinsed a day’s worth of
sand off them before going indoors. Inspired by her oceanside locale, she had
an eight-foot surfboard fitted with integrated plumbing and installed this clever
shower creation in her backyard. Soon, she was making surfboard showers for
friends; word spread—and Thadhani found herself in business.
Her company, Strand Boards, offers handmade surfboard showers with custom-
izable options ranging from color to style to hardware. Pictured: A model painted

The center consists of two buildings—one ad-
ministrative and one housing exhibitions—designed
around northern views that symbolize escape from
slavery. The distance between buildings widens
from south to north; the larger distances are a
metaphor for freedom while the lack of views to the
south recalls the repression of slaveholding states.
The exhibition building encompasses four simple
volumes with pitched roofs that echo the local
vernacular, one finished in wood siding and three
in zinc panels. “The zinc volumes memorialize the
fates of the enslaved,” Reed explains. “Be sold, stay
in fear of being sold or run away.”
Completed in 2017, the project is LEED Silver-
certified and has won AIA awards from the Baltimore
and Chesapeake Bay chapters.

 POOLSIDE PARADISE
The scenic Severn River set the
stage for the overhaul of a lot in
Crownsville, Maryland. Spear-
headed by McHale Landscape
Design, this whole-property
renovation transformed the pool
area, which included a dated
pool and cabana.
“This was a major renovation
that changed the feeling of the
entire property,” says McHale’s
Sandra Moffatt, who managed
the project with colleague Mike
Miller. Their team replaced
the run-of-the-mill pool with a
modern, vanishing-edge version
and pulled down most of the
cabana to make way for a pool
house complete with a room for
lounging (pictured), a kitchen
and guest bedroom. A NanaWall
folds back to allow flow from
the main room to the pool, and
quartzite stone paves interior
and exterior floors, blurring the
lines between indoors and out.
A mahogany beam accents the
NanaWall; above it, clerestory
windows admit even more light.
“Open, aluminum fencing
ensures that river views remain
unimpaired,” Moffatt says. “But
we added mahogany caps for
softness.”

 BATHING BEAUTY
Replacing a run-down cottage
on a narrow Chesapeake Bay
lot in Middle River, Maryland,
Penza Bailey Architects got
creative. The team stayed within
the home’s small footprint with
its proximity to the water while
designing a modern abode that
accommodates a family, with
a separate apartment for the
wife’s mother. “The property is
located on a flood plain,” says
principal Jeff Penza, “so we
lifted the whole house one story
and put the living spaces on the
top floor to take advantage of
the views.”
Watery vistas also abound on
the level below, which houses
the bedrooms. In the master bath
(pictured here), a roll-in shower
enclosure is clad in porcelain
tile and a custom floating vanity
holds two Duravit vessel sinks.
The Victoria + Albert soaking
tub faces a direct-vent gas
fireplace in a stacked-stone-look
tile wall; beside the tub, double
windows reveal expansive water
views. “Bathers can see both
the fireplace and the water,”
Penza explains. “And two square
windows instead of one big one
feel a little playful.”

KITCHEN KARMA
The owners of a 1915 home in Centreville, Maryland, wished to transform what had been a service kitchen, typical of the period, into
a family-oriented space. Architect Chip Bohl’s first move was to add a squared-off bay window that would take advantage of views
of the Corsica River. To further the sense of connection with the outdoors, he designed a table that extends from the kitchen outside
to the patio; crafted out of two panels of black American slate, it’s supported by brackets on the interior and exterior walls. “It was a
simple design technique that decreases the visual barrier from inside to out,” notes Bohl.
The kitchen conjures a mid-century vibe, with walls and ceiling clad in tongue-and-groove fir bead board, and custom cabinetry
topped by slate and stainless-steel counters. The floor is made of cork tile, sanded and finished to a low sheen.

plied to this design,” St. Claire says. “We are most calm in spaces
with little clutter to distract us from relaxing. Our aim was to be wel-
coming, warm and understated.”
St. Claire selected furnishings that marry a rustic sensibility with
clean, modern lines, and chose a subdued palette to avoid competi-
tion with the grand outdoor setting. Layers of texture and natural
materials speak to the landscape; for example, the organic design of
the dining-room chandelier by France & Son brings to mind seaweed
or driftwood.
The owners requested a streamlined and serene kitchen. St.
Claire obliged with custom cabinetry, poured-concrete counters
and a glossy, hand-cut, porcelain-tile backsplash that reflects light
and “mimics the movement of water,” the designer says. Heavy,
wrought-iron pendants sound an Old World note above the island.
And then there are the touches of blue. Calming robin’s egg blue
shows up on the front door, the Lacanche stove from France and the
underside of the loft bathroom’s vintage farmhouse sink. St. Claire
took the sink to Maaco, the collision-repair franchise, to custom-
match the paint to the stove.
Such creativity was essential to the project, Hurley says. Adding a
breezeway to connect the garage to the house was St. Claire’s idea.

So was spacing out some patio flagstones to avoid one monochro-

matic expanse.
The Hurleys see the house as a weekend retreat for hosting and
entertaining their growing family—the kids are now married and a
grandchild is on the way—and perhaps a retirement destination. De-
signed and installed by Paquin, the pool and pool house are a gath-
ering spot, the latter boasting nautical décor and an outdoor shower.
Chester River Landscaping devised the simple plant palette, relying
on native species that accentuate the water vista.
The rumpus room over the garage is another gathering spot. Win-
dow seats were designed with extra-deep cushions for overnight
guests. A beverage fridge, sink, leather daybed, and plenty of room
make the space ideal for movie or game night. The wooden ceiling
beam and lantern fixture evoke a rustic vibe. An antique ladder for
hanging towels in the bath was a lucky find at a salvage yard.
The project was a success, with all team members—including the
homeowners—working well together toward their shared vision.
Which is good, because Paquin and the Hurleys now live three doors
apart. “They’re great neighbors,” Paquin says. “They helped me take
this community to the next level.” P

ancy and Travis Johnson lived in New York City for
25 years before “escaping,” as they describe it, to the
quaint, historic Annapolis neighborhood of Eastport.
They wanted a waterfront home within walking dis-
tance of the district’s shops and restaurants. And Tra-
vis, a Naval Academy graduate, wanted to be able to
keep a sailboat nearby.
The couple purchased a property on Spa Creek that perfectly met
their requirements—but it came with a dilapidated, one-story dwell-
ing, so they decided to raze it and start afresh. While Nancy wasn’t
itching to build a house, “it was on my bucket list,” she admits. A
fashion designer, she brimmed with ideas for a dynamic, modern
structure and specified a collaborative design process. After turning
away architects who “wanted to tell us what we should live in,” she
recalls, the couple tapped Alick Dearie and Brian Grieb of GriD ar-
chitects for the job.
“Nancy wanted to work with someone who’d really listen,” says
Dearie. “Unlike most of our clients, she preferred to source every-
thing herself. It was like a jazz duet—she would do something and
we would react to it.”
The narrow, quarter-acre lot—along with myriad site restric-
tions—dictated the form the house would take. The architects de-
vised the two-bedroom abode to be restrained and efficient, en-
compassing just 2,200 square feet of living space. It’s organized
into two boxy volumes—one contains the garage and the other
the kitchen, pantry and dining area with the master suite above.
These volumes are linked by the living room, staircase and up-
stairs office area. Setback requirements allowed the house to
step up in height from the street side to the water side, creat-
ing an opportunity for window walls on both the first and sec-
ond floors that dramatically frame panoramic views of Spa Creek.
After years living in an edgy, urban environment, Nancy and Travis,
a technology consultant, were drawn to an industrial aesthetic. “We
wanted a lot of tactility, but not necessarily from fabrics. I love the look
of metal and what it becomes in different lights,” Nancy explains.
“That was really the project’s jumping off point,” Dearie notes.
“We always try to simplify the material palette; here, we used wood,
steel, metal and concrete. If you have more than four materials, it’s
probably too many.”

hen Angela and Frank Ferrogine moved
from Edgewater to Annapolis to be closer
to work and family, they had the perfect
plan. Frank found the lot they wanted on
the Severn River near the Naval Academy
Bridge and Angela drew a rough design that
reflected their vision. But like all best-laid
plans, theirs hit a snag. “I wanted the garage at the back of the house,”
Angela explains, “but we ran into restrictions due to the bay critical area.”
Angela is a retired nurse with a talent for design. Frank owns auto
dealerships. Fortunately, the couple had worked in the past with arch-
tect Leo Wilson of Hammond Wilson; they consulted him and found
he was undaunted by the challenge. “When you depart from a design, I
think it’s an opportunity to make something better,” he avers.
Wilson says this project was special—not only because of his
longstanding, design-savvy clients, but also because the top-notch
design team included interior designer Sandy Payne, Campion
Hruby Landscape Architects and Winchester Construction. It was
Bert Winchester who solved the issue of the garage, suggesting they
put it under the house, accessed by a graceful sweep of driveway that
goes below grade.

ARCHITECTURE
What factors determine whether a
waterfront site near the Chesapeake
Bay is viable for new construction?
There are several key factors. One is
whether the property passes the local
health department perc test indicating that
it will support a septic system. A second
is whether the property extensively slopes
to the water; if it does, a variance will be
required that probably means supportabil-
ity for new construction will be limited. A
third factor is the location of the 100-foot
critical-area buffer line on the property
and how that location will impact the abil-
ity to develop the lot.

certain zoning districts (not all), it is pro-

One important regulation is the limit
on lot coverage, which includes buildings,
paving (even pervious), swimming pools
and gravel driveways, to list a few.
A wooden deck is not considered lot
coverage. Limits to lot coverage can be as
low as 15 percent of your property area
and as high as 50 percent. Consult your

INTERIOR DESIGN
What are your favorite design elements
when creating interiors for a waterfront
home?
The view, of course! Choosing colors that
complement the water view is my first
thought when designing a waterfront
home. This can mean working in shades
of blue and green and in soft neutrals, or
choosing gray tones with pops of coral.
The soft neutrals and subtle grays of these
palettes, punctuated by bold accents, are
sure to create a pleasing contrast while
also allowing the eye to be drawn to the
beauty of the water.
When designing a waterfront home, I

The new owners of a home on Gibson Island hired landscape designer Annabelle Sailer to update the property, perched on a bluff, and improve access down to
the Chesapeake Bay. After removing overgrown grasses and shrubs, Sailer planted the slope with three sustainable species: mountain mint, little bluestem and
evening primrose, which erupts in pink blooms every May. “These are all native plants that support a wide variety of biodiversity,” she explains. “They attract
tons of bees and butterflies.” Along existing stairs, the designer installed new rail posts and rope handrails. A hammock near a shady crape myrtle, she marvels,
“offers expansive water views.” Landscape Design & Photography: Annabelle Sailer, Annabelle Sailer Garden Design, Annapolis, Maryland.
