Shingle Style

This recently completed custom home updates the American Shingle Style for a family with young children.

Located on one of the Chesapeake Bay's picturesque creeks, the water-side elevation features plenty of glass to view the water.

The rounded element on the home's water side features a screened in porch on the first floor and the master bedroom above.

The frameless screening at the porch (below) is buried between the columns for an invisible effect, helping focus attention on the beautiful view.
