After renovating an Airstream—and traveling in it for nine months—Caroline Burke and her husband, Riley Haakon, came across a listing for their dream model: a 1975 Argosy trailer.

Surrounding the house are the homes of the owner's parents and grandparents, as well as buildings used for farming.

Most of the family’s summertime entertaining takes place in and around the kitchen, which opens wide to a pool and deck.

The home’s design unifies two extremes—light and dark, weightless and heavy.

“The primary building material for the project is light,” says Hoppenot. “The home has a limited materials palette that is rich in warmth and texture and allows natural light to be a main experiential material as it changes the quality of space throughout the day.”
