Hooper House, Modernist residence in Baltimore County, United States
The Hooper House features floor-to-ceiling glass walls and thick stone barriers that create distinct zones for family living and entertainment purposes.
Marcel Breuer and Herbert Beckhard completed this residential project in 1959 for Edith Hooper, incorporating Bauhaus principles into suburban American architecture.
The residence exemplifies the mid-century modern movement through its geometric forms, natural materials, and separation between social and private spaces.
The house spans 6,994 square feet on one level, including a partial basement and underground garage, with insulated glass panels that maintain temperature control.
Each room except bathrooms, kitchen, and family area opens to a central courtyard through sliding glass doors, creating unobstructed views toward Lake Roland.
