Enabling you to wake up with the sunrise, and watch the activity of the day change as the tide changes, this harborside home offers a place for every mood.  Each space focuses on a specific view in the dynamic bay which means the journey through the house provides an ever-changing scene to observe. The tidal changes in this bay bring out oyster farmers on the low tide and a variety of boats on the high-tide, including on the midnight, full-moon high tide on sultry summer evenings. Set in a way that the bay is framed by structure from the street side while also blended into the setting with cedar siding and subtle trim color, the design makes this home a perfect retreat for a family that feels connected to water.
