Hidden Pond House

Set within the lush landscape of Old Westbury, New York, Hidden Pond House reinterprets the classic barn structure through a modernist lens. Designed by Mojo Stumer Associates, the home balances raw materials – featuring washed grey wood, concrete, and exposed steel – with refined architectural elements. A defining material throughout the home is the Matrice series by CEDIT, a large-format porcelain tile used on both the exterior and interiors. On the facade and rear elevation, the tile contrasts against dark wood slats, creating a striking rhythm, as bold, triangular roofs and distinctive windows invite light and frame the surrounding greenery. Inside, CEDIT’s Matrice tiles appear on a dramatic double-height entry wall, accent walls in the halls and stairways, and above the fireplace, where its ability to reflect light and enhance spatial depth powerfully draws the eye upward. The tile’s consistent presence – including moments in bedroom entries and alongside the owners’ art collection – unifies the interior palette while strengthening the home’s seamless relationship with the outdoors.
