Bohl Architects’ Project Locations
We have physical offices in Annapolis, Maryland and Hudson, New York. While we have completed many projects in Chesapeake Bay and Hudson Valley, the Bohl team has designed projects all around the world. We love to travel and we’d love to work with you, no matter your project location.
At Bohl Architects, our architectural philosophy is deeply rooted in the harmony between design and the natural environment, embodying principles of biophilic design, sustainability, and living in tune with nature. Our projects, spanning the Chesapeake Bay, the Hudson Valley and beyond, are conceived with a profound respect for their settings, integrating seamlessly into the landscape. A building sits in a landscape, whether it’s on a river or overlooking a city – buildings don’t just stand by themselves. Buildings exist within an environment. We believe in the transformative function of architecture that not only respects the natural world but enhances it, crafting spaces that foster a deeper connection between inhabitants and their surroundings.
Our commitment to sustainable design principles ensures that each project contributes positively to its environment, creating legacies that are environmentally responsible and aesthetically compelling. Bohl Architects is dedicated to designing homes that are not just structures, but spaces that accentuate the surrounding natural landscapes.

Waterfront and Coastal Design:
Harmonizing with the Waters
In designing waterfront homes along the Chesapeake Bay, Bohl Architects prioritizes views, accessibility, and harmony with the waterside landscape. Each project is a study in maximizing the views that the bay offers, ensuring that living spaces flow seamlessly into the outdoors and invite the tranquil beauty of the water inside.
Through thoughtful design, these homes become an extension of the landscape and the water’s edge.
