The Chesapeake House Travel Plaza creates a 21st-century travelers’ respite that is intimately connected to local landscape and regional culture, and shares graphic and signage characteristics with Maryland House, its neighbor to the south. The bold typographic palette draws inspiration from the largest estuary in the country, the Chesapeake Bay. Nautical themes are expressed in natural hues with glassy transparencies reminiscent of daylight and water. Visitors appreciate their relationship to Chesapeake Bay Watershed and its myriad species.
