Spa Creek House / GriD Architects
On a narrow irregularly shaped lot fronting Spa Creek in Annapolis, Maryland this house slips between its neighbors and emerges buoyantly as it lilts towards the creek’s edge. Eschewing traditional ornamentation, the house is formally abstract, modestly scaled, and simply clad to resonate with the local maritime culture. Designed for a couple with a passion for art and sailing, the house becomes a canvas for both these interests simultaneously.
