Brutalist Chesapeake Retreat

A study in contrast on the Chesapeake Bay

The interior design for this waterfront home softens a striking steel and concrete Brutalist exterior with a vibrant, modern interior.

Expansive glass walls frame waterfront views, while primary color accents, sculptural furnishings, and bold artwork bring warmth and energy to the space.

Rich wood and stone textures ground the home, creating a light-filled modern retreat that connects deeply with the surrounding bay.
