ship house

Perched on a steep, tree-lined site, this new-construction home rises naturally within the landscape, offering elevated living spaces that capture views while maintaining privacy. The design invites the outdoors in—framing vistas, welcoming breezes and sunlight, and arranging rooms that flow effortlessly to terraces and patios. Oriented to greet the morning sun, the house is gently shaded in the warmer months by the surrounding trees, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow. Just outside Washington, DC, it is a tranquil retreat where architecture and nature exist in quiet harmony.
