Services
This new house in an existing neighborhood has a tight lot, but a small footprint is a worthy goal, literally and figuratively.
The environmental or carbon footprint can be greatly minimized by sustainable design.
The house is compact and cozy on the north side, while opening to the sun and the view on the south side.
It has been described as an adult fort or treehouse, encouraging a deep connection with nature.
This unique site, at the tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, provides an opportunity to design with nature, capturing the expansive views, preserving the inherent natural setting, and creating a footprint that is as minimal as a footprint on a nearby beach.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center is a model of sustainability.
The Center feeds solar and wind powered energy back to the grid after harvesting what's needed, collects rainfall that provides 100% of all water used, including the high standard of drinking water, exemplifies zero waste and emissions, and models how building materials can be so natural and non-toxic, you could almost put it in a blender and drink it.
The Center is a net positive, making a significant contribution through restoring habitat, educating youth, and being a regional hub of outreach and advocacy.
