One of the selling points of the cottage was the meadow surrounding it, which the windows in the addition seek to capture.

The home is a departure from the more traditional, gabled homes in the neighborhood.

At a renovated farmhouse in the Italian countryside, a crisp, modern white plaster fireplace and hearth infuse the interior with coziness and warmth. The firewood is stacked in a nearly-frameless niche next to the fireplace that is lined with metal, adding a bit of shine that contrasts with the rustic firewood and wood ceiling and beams above.

In the bedroom, Hamilton and his wife Candace reclaimed their maple wood floor from a popular bowling alley that was scheduled to be demolished. The wood was removed and used for all the bedrooms in the home. The same wood is used in furniture designed by Hamilton. He designed and built the bench located at the end of the bed. The bedroom also features wall sconces designed by George Nelson.

The bedroom on the upper level features a strategically placed window that frames vistas of the mountains and beyond.

Filled with ample natural light and terrace access, this bedroom also includes an adjoining bath.

The kitchen is close to the living and dining spaces, yet also maintains separation.

The previous lean-to addition was kept, and the asbestos was carefully removed. “The original walls are smooth plaster with detail above the picture rail datum, in the cornices, and on the ceilings. The new work references this but flips it,” says Bokey-Grant. “The walls have a subtle texture up to a datum, and the smooth ‘hat’ above helps the spaces feel taller than they are.”
