From oyster cannery housing to modern office space; this 1800s Solomons Island home has a new chapter. 🏡✨

Once part of the Isaac Solomons Oyster Cannery and later surrounded by the growing Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) campus, this historic house had fallen into disrepair and faced demolition. Instead, it was thoughtfully restored and reimagined to serve CBL once again.

By preserving the original structure, introducing ADA-compliant access, and blending historically inspired exterior details with modern systems, this project proves that adaptive reuse can honor the past while supporting the future.

A building with more than a century of stories is ready for the next hundred years—right on the banks of the Patuxent River.

Construction projects require a great deal of coordination, and especially so if the project is for a medical or dental facility with an array of specific requirements. We are proud to be part of the team that converted an existing vacant office space into a new dentist office.

After a fire destroyed their building in Lusby in 2019, Tidewater Dental had to relocate.

We get asked about it all the time – what are the newest kitchen trends? And because we’re all about transparency, we’re here to share them with you.

✅Smart Technology: Wi-Fi enabled refrigerators, programmable ovens, and voice-controlled appliances are bringing a new level of convenience and efficiency to kitchen tasks.

✅Multifunctional Kitchen Island: A well-designed kitchen island serves as more than extra counterspace, it becomes the central hub offering extra prep space, storage and casual dining.

✅Floorplan Design: A kitchen is no longer just where the cooking happens. It’s where the heart of entertaining begins. That’s why a well designed kitchen can provide direct access to outdoor patio spaces, open floorplan to easily move around and storage in spaces that were once wasted.

Hearing words like this is exactly why we love what we do.

“Brent listened to our ideas and worked with us to design the house that we wanted. We went back and forth a few times until it all fit together. One of his ideas was a game changer and created more room in the house with very little cost. We recommend Patuxent Architects.” - Robert K.

Thank you Robert for trusting us with your dream home.

Are you looking for easy ways to make a big difference in your home? We’ve got you covered.

✅Use light paint colors on your walls to reflect more light and make the room appear brighter and more spacious.

✅Add mirrors to smaller rooms to provide the illusion that a space is larger than it is.

✅Strategically place furniture slightly away from walls to create a sense of space and movement.
