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 Cox River

Upon entering this new 6,000 SF home located on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, visitors are welcomed with direct views to the Cox River. The main floor great room unites the living, dining and kitchen areas and opens up to a porch that wraps around the house. The backyard entertainment area is completed with an in-ground pool, boat dock and 100 feet of waterfront. A three-sided glass breakfast room opens up off the kitchen at the end of the house on the south side. Colonnades, moldings and a pleasant approach from the road give this shingle style home its dignified presence while the playful angles and details extol its individual sense of character. A tower was brought into play as a hinging point between the main house and the garage, allowing the house to open up to the road creating a warm reception.
