Lilah Horwitz and Nick Olsen are the designers and home owners behind this rustic cabin located in West Virginia that features an elegant front facade made with a repurposed windows to form an eclectic glass mosaic. The design opts for a detailed collage aesthetic that makes use of unwanted building materials in a new and refreshing way.
The couple built their wilderness retreat with a small budge using discarded window panels they found in a variety of shapes and sizes. The uniqueness of each window used in the exterior adds character and warmth to the space as they come together to form a large floor-to-ceiling glass panel for the home. The glass lets in a large amount of natural sun, that provides the abode with warmth and natural light.
