With Cathy Purple Cherry, we have found an architect for life. Cathy designed and oversaw many major residential construction and renovation projects for us and her thorough and thoughtful approach is unparalleled. She made the effort to understand how our family lives, then designed living space that was wonderfully detailed in both feature and function. Her approach is intelligent, professional and comprehensive. She operates with the highest integrity and is a geniunely nice person.

Private Waterfront Residence on the Chesapeake Bay

This new 7,000 SF two-story waterfront home presents as a one-story house from the road to give the impression of a smaller-scale home. The shingle-style house opens up to a two-story home on the waterside with expansive glass that captures incredible views and breezes of the Chesapeake Bay. The custom kitchen includes a hidden doggie door to the screened porch and a farther ramp to the outside fenced yard for the owner's beloved pets. A widow’s peak is accessed from the attic area for 360-degree views of the Bay and the historical City of Annapolis. The full finished basement houses a large media room and wine cellar with custom murals on the walls depicting the Owner’s favorite spots in vineyard country.
