The green backsplash tiles are vintage, reclaimed from another project.

The interior incorporates earthy materials like salvaged teak. “You can see the landscape on either side of you,” says Hoppenot. “The rich teak walls disappear into the height of the space, and diluted natural light floods down from the skylights and in through the windows.”

“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.”

Glass, brick, and wood converge at the home’s central volume. “The brick returns as windows allow the openings to be sunken deep into the facade,” Hoppenot shares. “The intersection of materials makes them feel like they are one.”

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

With views of trees, sky, and water, the home’s all-glass living and dining space is enveloped by the landscape.

The historic home sits far off the road on a sprawling green lot, surrounded by mature trees.
