This beautifully renovated modern house in Chevy Chase, Maryland has substantial addition to the back of the house while retaining the scale and massing of neighbouring houses. The renovation project by Robert M. Gurney incorporated tall windows into the existing façade. A newly designed backyard includes walkways, walls and plantings, with a new garden structure providing privacy from adjoining properties. The minimalist interiors are open yet intimate.
Loblolly House on Taylors Island, Maryland is a 2,200-square-foot prefab house composed entirely of fabricated components made off-site. Designed by Kieran Timberlake Associates, this contemporary home named for the tall loblolly pines that characterize its site on the Chesapeake Bay was built in environmentally ethical ways. There is minimal disruption to the ground with the house resting lightly on the site using timber piles as foundations. Architects Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake believe that the construction process today should be streamlined, so they boldly took on the project which has become a model for componentized prefab houses.
