Purple Cherry Architects have been shortlisted for Residential Architectural Property – Global Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2023.

Eastern Shore Grandeur encompasses 44,000 square feet of luxury spread across ten structures, this is the epitome of grandeur in the form of a private sanctuary. 

Upon arrival, Eastern Shore Grandeur’s remaining structures are made apparent: the main house, guest house, timber-frame entertaining barn, carriage house, automobile barn, pool house, boat house, pottery studio, and conservatory. To ensure cohesion and consistency, the design of most of the buildings happened concurrently. Only the boathouse, pottery studio, and Hartley Botanic conservatory came later. Exquisite exterior architectural detailing and materials were intentionally incorporated throughout the estate, including eyebrow dormers, sunlit cupolas, handmade Cushwa oversized brick, custom shutters, and white cedar shake and tin-coated copper roofs which collectively create a truly magical haven. 

Early in the design process, Purple Cherry Architects engaged a landscape architect to develop a master site plan that detailed beautiful landscaping and hardscaping details for each structure, space, and garden. The main home sits approximately 300 feet from the water. This design allows for an upper terrace from the house to the walkway and a lower terrace from the walkway to the pool. As a result, homeowners can enjoy sweeping waterfront views without obstruction from the pool.Further, more than 120 plant containers have been hand-selected and placed throughout the property to provide seasonal colour and texture throughout the year. 

It was important for the designers that regardless of the scale of the land, this estate had to be a “walkable estate”. Purple Cherry Architects knew what would work comfortably within a daily routine concerning multiple structures on a property, and concerning the relationships between the structures. This design works so well because the designers took many aspects into account when setting the structures and the walkways.
