Douglas Hertsenberg of Bernardon, along with Dewson Construction and Ted Pearson Interior Design, helped give the homeowners of this beach house in Silver Lake exactly what they wanted: a striking, environmentally-sensitive house that would coexist peacefully with the lake and provide plenty of room to entertain and host visiting family and friends. Construction details include 16-inch beams, impact resistant glass and terraced floodwalls to withstand Atlantic storms. A Capiz shell moon fixture illuminates the front hall, and Moravian star pendants are suspended from a windowed great room cupola. The kitchen cabinets and sink areas are almost mirror images, with a bar tucked into an adjacent semicircular space.

SEA Studio Architects designed this home for a large family in Bethany Beach. The interior and exterior spaces are large, open and bright. The home is garnished with a blend of clean angular finishes and traditional touches, and plenty of views of the ocean. (Other contributors: Hugh H.
