The house, located in Anne Arundel County, sits 37 feet below the road. It’s a beautiful house that was originally full of dark woods and colors, and the owners wanted to bring more light into the space with lighter materials and surface. They also love sailing so we renovated the house with a nautical theme. The old pine wood interiors are being transformed into a Scandinavian retreat.
There’s a window seat in the kitchen so they can watch the birds. The project featured custom concrete countertops and cabinets in the kitchen, salvaged whitewashed white oak on the floor and ceiling, stone and pebble tile in the bathrooms, and lighter tiles and woods throughout.

A calm Scandinavian Home
We worked closely with Jeff Plusen, LA to integrate the landscape with the building. We incorporated natural materials on the garage to unearth it from the ground.
