Horizon Builders Project Wins 2004 Custom Home
Design Awards, Merit Award
CROFTON, MD (10/1/04) --- Muse Architects, Washington,
DC, and Horizon Builders were recently recognized by Custom
Home magazine for a custom renovation of a prominent 18th-century
manor house in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The project included
an addition with a great room, kitchen and master bedroom suite.
The addition adheres to the same use of materials,
period scale, and style of the original manor house. While paying
close attention to historic details on the exterior, architect
Stephen Muse took liberties with the design of the interior, which
features an expansive cathedral ceiling in the great room, painted-wood
roof trusses and six-leaf pocket sliding glass door.
The judges were quoted, commending the architect
and builder on a "nice job of maintaining the character of
the original. They managed to make it bigger without destroying
the scale."
