Durham Street Rowhomes

For a builder we've worked with for many years, we designed these three new brick townhomes on a corner lot in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood. The challenge was fitting open, modern living into a historic streetscape of brick rowhouses.

​

Outside, red brick and tall, multi-pane window bays respect the neighborhood's character, while rich wood garage and entry doors add warmth at the street. A parapet screens each home's private roof deck from view.

​

Inside, each home has a ground-floor garage with the living spaces above. Two-story living areas and tall windows pull daylight deep into the narrow floor plans, and open steel stairs and a loft overlook the kitchen and living spaces, set against exposed brick walls. A spiral stair leads up to the roof deck and its views across the city.
