This tiny waterman’s cottage is perched on a northern point of Saint George Island, a low lying, tidewater island situated at the confluence of the Saint Mary’s River with the Potomac River. Probably built with the help of friends and relatives, the 675 square foot floor plan is a basic four-room cottage and makes every square inch count. Given the pure architectural imagery of the place, it was decided that restraint should govern the design process in order to assure that the patina of time was not lost.
