In this paper, we consider a family of seamlessly coupled nonlocal models associated with transmission conditions across an interface. The models are derived from the variation of a parameterized family of energies consisting of a fractional type Dirichlet energy on one subdomain and a nonlocal Dirichlet energy involving a finite range of interactions on another subdomain. We present the rigorous mathematical formulation and its well-posedness. We also investigate the behavior of the model in various limiting regimes.
