This 5,200-square-foot house and 960-square-foot pool house sit on an acre overlooking Tabbs Creek, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the Northern Neck of Virginia.
Design concept and solution: The form of the house and its site plan resulted largely from existing conditions and setback requirements on a constrained waterfront site. Visitors approach the house through a loosely enclosed trapezoidal courtyard, bounded at its southern edge by the pool and pool house. At the eastern edge, parallel to the side yard lot line, is a long pergola concealing the septic system and screening views of a neighboring house. The western edge is open to views of the creek, as is the pool. At the northern edge is the relatively opaque entry fa'ade of the house, which provides little clue of the water views to be had from within.
