P ROJE C T D E SC R I P T I O N SM+P Architects was retained by the Town of Chestertown to replace a former marina building with a new, approximately 2,600 square foot, mixed-use building in the town’s Chester River Marina. SM+P worked closely with local town officials to develop a building with forms and materials that not only blends into Chestertown’s colonial-era waterfront fabric and adjacent residential zone, but also stands out to residents, boaters and visitors as a waterfront gateway to the town’s art, heritage, and retail amenities. The original proposal called for a two-story building with a rentable event space on the second floor. The budget for the project was eventually decreased, requiring a large redesign and subsequent removal of the second floor. The final building showcases exposed wood framing, white-washed wood finish, and stainless steel accents. Program spaces include restrooms for transient boaters, a small retail space, a visitor’s space, and an outdoor patio space taking advantage of the commanding views down the Chester River.
