Seventy-Eight Steps

Residence Seventy-Eight
Steps

Set on the water’s edge in the middle of Baltimore’s historic Fells Point neighborhood is my own residence. At five stories tall it is a vertical home of stacked experiments and experiences, some successful, some less so but taken in whole it is an amalgam of treasures that mark an evolution of interests, attitudes and the journeys of my life.

At the intersection of the familiar and the unknown is where I feel most alive. That dynamic of being challenged yet comforted is how I engage the fullness of life in the spaces I design.
