In Ocean View, Delaware, you’ll find an “electic mix” of houses lining the streets adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay. Robert M. Gurney is the man behind a project in the Quillen’s Point, a neighborhood consisting of houses that are located on relatively small plots of land – requiring Gurney to focus in on privacy.
On the outside, it sure looks like privacy – almost a prison. But the modern lines and intricate use of windows and walls gives it an appeal that’s like no other.
Rather than focusing attention on the surrounding area, mostly houses because of the small lot of land, Gurney focuses in the attention on a small garden located in the center of the house.
Gurney also gives attention to natural light. It seems like the entire house is even built on that aspect. While some sides of the house feature what seems to be nothing but walls, others encompass nothing but windows.
Our biggest liking – the modern lines. No matter where you look on the exterior or in the interior, it seems that you can’t find any place where they’re missing.
