Eastern Shore Estate

This home is part of an estate on Maryland's Eastern Shore. As shown in this photo we lifted the roof in order to add a new second floor. By maintaining and reusing the existing first floor, foundation and roof (with the now unattainable Buckingham slate roofing), we reduced landfill contribution, reduced consumption of new wood products, and hastened completion time.  To see photos of a previous renovation of this house click here.

The owners of the property have added a wind turbine which they expect to generate much of their electricity. As wind power is still an emerging technology, they plan to monitor their energy production in an effort to contribute to the understanding of this technology.

The existing guest house was completely renovated by Bohl Architects.  The interior was reorganized to create an open and inviting living space with views to the creek.  Exterior finishes were upgraded.  To see more photos of this project click here.
