Sherwood Forest : Neighborhood Bungalow


This residential project is located in the lovely enclave of Sherwood Forest. The property sits on a steep ravine, on a very narrow site. The view (above) from the property to the Severn River is irreplaceable.
Our clients are deconstructing the existing house because it is seriously deteriorated. It will be replaced by the 3200 square foot design shown above.

We have worked closely with the neighborhood guidelines and local zoning officials to meet strict neighborhood and zoning covenants. This project is designed to maintain the historic bungalow character of the neighborhood, while at the same time incorporating many green features. The heating and cooling of the house will generated by a geothermal installation. We will be salvaging and reusing most of the existing fixtures such as hardware, lumber and hardwood floors. Expanding the green ideal, we will be using only local and renewable materials on the interior and exterior. Further, the design incorporates high insulation values and resource efficient fixtures.
