Garrett Park, Maryland
The main focus of this modern farmhouse was to take advantage of the views of the surrounding woodland, keep the existing farmhouse vibe, and work with the client and the Town of Garrett Park to design something to be responsive and aligned to the history of the town. Our solution involved adding wraparound decks and screened-in porches and minimizing the trees that would be disturbed. In particular, we were able to preserve three massive 40' poplar trees that were on-site. Construction waste was managed by re-using all the existing roof framing in other parts of the house. The resulting design is responsive to the natural environment while harmoniously bringing together the town's history and the renovation's modern farmhouse aesthetic.
