Beginning with the Old Town Clayton transformation, which took place 30 years ago, Saur and his brother Bob have taken on an architectural role of studying the people and environment throughout the project’s nearby areas in order to meet the various requirements that would be posed during the design of Maryland Walk Residences. Maryland Walk reflects their research, although the building still maintains its originality.
Saur explained, “It defies both past and current stylistic label, manifesting a locally incubated exploration through the timeless architectural principles of symmetry/asymmetry, craftsmanship, scale, proportion, line, materiality, color and figure.” In actuality, even each unit has a sense of its own novelty.
