Recently, What’s Up? Media presented their 3rd annual showcase of the Chesapeake Bay’s best home projects. Mueller Homes received the top award for their custom home project in St. Michael’s, Maryland in the category of Waterfront Critical Area Design/Build.
The project was highlighted for Mueller’s approach to tackling common challenges with waterfront properties including impervious surface area, drainage calculations, bio retention areas, and environmental site design. The award feature also noted the builder, architect, and engineer collaborated to address every critical area challenge, which included stormwater management, runoff prevention, specific plantings, and an escrow to ensure the sustainability of trees and plants in the wetlands.
The architectural design, by Jonathan Rivera, noted the unique elements, like the incorporation of turrets, which offered a touch of elegance to the coastal farmhouse aesthetic.
“This home was a true example of the collaboration needed when building a custom home on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. It takes a comprehensive approach to ensure that all of the critical area guidelines are followed and incorporated with the homeowner’s vision,” noted PJ Mueller, President of Mueller Homes.
Mueller Homes has been recognized locally and nationlly, over the past 30 years, for their work.
