MLFROM THE EDITOR
Not long ago, I took a drive through an old Denver neigh-borhood. As I admired the charming little bungalows andTudors, it occurred to me that it wasn’t until very recentlythat large homes became available to lots of people.
The old homes I passed that day typically have oneliving room, a small kitchen, a bedroom or two, one bath-room and very little closet space—and, occasionally, adetached one-car garage.
These days, many of us would find a house like thatto be cramped and constraining. We’ve come to expecteat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, his-and-hers bathroomvanities and three-car garages. But I can’t help wondering, do we really need all that room?
Much like a river expands to reach its banks, we can always find ways to fill more space. Withinmonths after moving from a 1,500-square-foot townhome to a 2,200-square-foot house, my husbandand I had managed to fill every closet and cupboard. But lately I’m drawn to the idea of having justenough, rather than more than enough. I’d like to find a home with less square footage and more specialdetails that make it different from every other house on the block. And I’d like to strip away the excessand get down to decorating with the things I really love.
The homes in this issue have added fuel to that fire. The largest (on page 86) is a 2,500-square-footcondo in Vail that’s brimming with beautiful design details, from marble fireplaces and mother-of-pearlcountertops to walls clad with reclaimed snow fencing, python-skin-print papers and rich paisley fabrics.The smallest (on page 100) is a 450-square-foot cottage that packs a remarkable amount of function—kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, jewelry-making studio and sleeping loft—into its tiny footprint.
So is bigger really better, or can you get great design in a small space too? Send me an email, post onour Facebook wall or send a tweet to tell me what you think. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Jay Shafer takes the old adage “less is more”to a radical level. The visionary behind
Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has livedin dwellings as small as 89 square feet and
designs homes ranging in size from 99 squarefeet to 874 square feet. Here, he sharesthoughts on paring down, living lightly
and gaining happiness in the process.
SMALL ISMIGHTY
What inspired you to start building homes that are smallerthan some people’s garages? Tumbleweed Tiny HouseCompany is born of my personal desire for a space thataccommodates my needs without saddling me with a lot ofextra debt and maintenance. I’ve always tried to create asense of meaning for myself and link that to the rest of theworld, and nothing does that better than home; it’s like a self-portrait in the end. So I built a house that was 89 square feetand just kept on building after that.
Tell us more about your idea of home. I believe a real senseof home comes from being surrounded by the things that areessential to your life; anything that’s unessential diminishesthat—and makes life less meaningful.
So, how have you edited such modest floor plans down to theessentials? I’ve looked at what people everywhere have found tobe homey. If you break it down, that usually includes a gabledroof and four walls, a prominent front door, a bathroom andkitchen, and a living room and sleeping area. I don’t believe much
in dining rooms. I grew up living in 4,000 square feet with fourpeople, and we used the dining room twice a year but cleanedthe space about 50 times a year and heated it all winter long.
What does the process of acquiring a Tumbleweed houselook like? When we build a house for someone, it arrives fullyassembled and ready for folks to move into. We don’t buildthat many houses, though; we sell far more plans than we dohomes. Many of the people who buy our plans are fairly frugaland figure they have sweat equity to work with.
How do your tiny homes hold up in the high country? When I’mdesigning, I try to design for any environment, but it turns outthat living in a small structure actually makes living in a very coldor hot environment much easier because you don’t have muchspace to heat or cool. Beyond that, the philosophy behind ahome this small is that the outdoors becomes the living room.
What’s your advice for people who want to pare down? It’s alifestyle choice, not a house choice. For most Americans, ifwe’re unhappy, we buy more stuff. But living simply is aboutknowing what really makes you happy. If something makes yourwhole life happier, then it’s making the world better. It all comesdown to the microcosm of home. tumbleweedhouses.com
STORY BY CAROLINE EBERLY
Think vertically “I try to take advantage of ver-tical spaces and maximize every cubic footwith storage. Putting a bed in a loft saves a lotof floor space and a tall, narrow Japaneseofuro bathtub makes great use of verticalspace; you’re immersed up to your shoulders.”
Make furniture multitask “Choose furnishingsthat do double duty, like a couch that turns intoa desk or a dining table that serves as a work-station. When it comes to transformer furniture, the fewer moving parts, the better.”
Reclaim wasted space “Use spaces like hall-ways and stairways—throughways of any kind—for storage, or even turn them into functionalrooms. You could turn a hallway into a libraryby lining one or both sides with bookshelves,or put storage under the stairway. I like to putlittle drawers in the risers of a staircase.”
Go for a hike “The best thing you can do to fig-ure out what you need is to go backpacking fora week. The things you wish you hadn’t takenalong are the things you probably don’t need,and that’s the way all of life is.” ○

44 ML | August 2012
cottonwood groves and gardens in thevillage of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque,New Mexico, Los Poblanos has beendrawing visitors since the 1930s, whencongressman Albert Simms and his wife,Ruth Hannah McCormick Simms, pur-chased the then-800-acre ranch andcommissioned the region’s foremost architect, John Gaw Meem, to create acultural center to host their political andcommunity events.
The Simms’ vision for a lively gather-ing place lives on today at Los Poblanos,thanks to the ongoing efforts of threegenerations of the Rembe family, whonot only purchased and reunited parcelsof the original ranch, saving them fromredevelopment, but worked to restoreand preserve the property’s original ar-chitecture, artwork, agricultural fieldsand formal gardens.
These days, guests can quite literallyenjoy the fruits of the Rembes’ labors,harvested daily at Los Poblanos’ organicfarm, which provides produce to the inn’skitchen as well as a local CSA, and alsocultivates lavender and honeybees. Theoriginal Simms residence now serves as asmall inn, and the La Quinta CulturalCenter still hosts celebrations, meetingsand educational and cultural events. >>

Designed in 1932 by architect JohnGaw Meem, known as the “Fatherof Santa Fe Style,” the inn and LaQuinta Cultural Center are adornedwith artwork by some of the finestartists of the time, including afresco by Peter Hurd, handcarveddoors and mantels by Gustave Bau-mann, tin light fixtures by RobertWoodman and ironwork by WalterGilbert. Famed landscape architectRose Greely designed the property’sformal Spanish-style gardens, tilefountains and cottonwood allée.
Twenty simple yet stylish guestrooms show off New Mexico’s clas-sic style with inviting wood-burningfireplaces, carved ceiling beamsand antique New Mexican furnish-ings, and open to courtyards andthe property’s historic gardens.Cozy up to a kiva fireplace in theoriginal John Gaw Meem-designedranch house, or opt for a bright, airysuite in a 1930s dairy-style build-ing with pitched tin roof.
What’s the best part about a stay atLos Poblanos? Breakfast, accordingto many guests. Each morning, organic fruits, vegetables, eggs andhoney are harvested from the on-site farm, turned into stews andhashes, blintzes and compotes,then served up in the inn’s charm-ing dining room. Light eveningmeals are served Wednesdaysthrough Saturdays, and “Field toFork” cooking classes and seven-course chef’s tasting dinners takeplace throughout the year.
Swim in the saltwater pool, explorethe Rio Grande River trail on acruiser bike, learn to make artisanalcocktails or pickled vegetables at acooking class, sign up for an aroma-therapy workshop or indulge in anin-room massage. Or, satisfy yourinner farmer by volunteering at theorganic farm, where you can har-vest produce, milk goats, gathereggs, and pick up a few gardeningtips from Farmer Sean.

TTHE 20TH ANNUAL WESTERN DESIGN CONFERENCE EXHIBITION + SALE will take place September 6 through 9 in Jackson Hole, one of the nation’s largest traditional art markets.
The juried show features 100+ artists who have successfully competed for invitations to showcase their works. These talented artists and craftspeople bring unique qualities and interpretations to Western design, creating original and innovative pieces of functional art that are not mass-produced, but are truly one of a kind. This type of work is valued by collectors and designers worldwide, many of whom will attend the conference. “The artists, artisans and designers chosen to participate in the Western Design Conference are the best in their fi eld, whether they work in wood, metal, fabric, or another medium,” says conference director Nancy McCullough-McCoy.
The Western Design Conference will continue its tradition of providing artisans, exhibitors and patrons an unparalleled experience in Jackson Hole. Hosted by Teton Home and Living magazine, the conference brings together craftspeople, collectors, interior designers, architects and fashion designers who share a passion for the West. There’s also a lecture taking place on Thursday, September 6, by renowned boot-maker Lisa Sorrell, titled “From Prairie Skirts to Cowboy Boots.” The conference’s Exhibition and Sale showcases contemporary crafts that highlight artistic Western traditions. “Whereas ‘Western’ may conjure images of elk-antler chandeliers and rustic pine furniture, the work displayed at the Western Design Conference goes beyond the traditional and the expected,” says event manager Allison Merritt. “Many of the items exhibited could be termed ‘Western fusion’ in style, revealing hints of Adirondack, rustic, lodge, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, and/or modern infl uences.”
All artists selected for the show will exhibit their work in a gallery-style pedestal display. All pieces displayed are handmade in the United States or Canada. “The energy building up in anticipation of this nationally recognized event is invigorating to all involved, but it especially excites the artists who work all year to create a one-of-a-kind piece to display,” Merritt says. “I’ve received countless calls from artists telling me that not only are they extremely happy to have made it through the jury process, but now they’re working on a piece to win Best in Show. This is really going to be a great exhibit and sale.” The conference and exhibition will take place at the Pavilion at Snow King Resort from September 7-9.
The always-popular Western Design Conference Fashion Show will light up the runway Thursday, September 6, at the Center for the Arts in downtown Jackson. Kicking off the gala event will be a live-model Jewelry Show. The conference is a signature event of the 28th annual Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, taking place September 6-16, 2012. The Western Design Conference is produced in Jackson Hole by Nancy McCullough-McCoy, publisher of Teton Home and Living, Teton Valley Magazine, and A Grand Wedding and Event Planner, and by Kevin Olson, associate publisher of Jackson Hole News & Guide, Jackson Hole Daily, Jackson Hole Magazine, and Images West Magazine.

Amy Ringholz introduces “SOMETHING WILD THIS WAY COMES,” an evening of creativity and magic:
At 34, I am the youngest featured artist to be chosen to represent this prestigious event. It is absolutely thrilling for me to break boundaries and to blaze a trail in the art world for other young artists. Aside from being proud of this accomplishment, I am equally grateful. Each year the Chamber puts together an incredible week of events to spoil our visitors and locals who enjoy art. Although the festival is extremely high-class, fun and well done, I have felt for years we are missing something. The tagline for the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is “A Celebration of Art in the Tetons.” I thought it was time to push that tagline to its potential and really give art fans a treat. I decided to create a ‘thank you’ party where the town could mingle with its artists and this event has been named “Something Wild This Way Comes.” Two major things have transformed this event. First, I have brought in four local conservation groups this gathering will benefi t. I often preach about not only using your gift for good, but giving it back to the world. The best part about September 15, 2012, is that something as small as an intention in my mind has grown into an incredible labor of love; an eff ort to do something bigger than ourselves. Proving that goodwill does bring out the
best in people and that one little person with a big dream can in fact inspire the world. Not a dollar will be made on this event; it will all go to the preservation of Jackson Hole, a place where dreams come true.

The 25th Annual Western Visions®, presented by the National Museum of Wildlife Art, is one of the signature events of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. Always exciting and fresh, Western Visions consists of a number of events held over several days. The wide variety of events ensures there is something for every artistic palate. The money raised from this fundraiser supports educational programming at the museum. The week’s events, off ered at the museum's award–winning facility across from the National Elk Refuge, draw an international crowd. During the Fall Arts Festival (and year-round), the museum is a hub for art lovers and wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts.
The event showcases several of the nation’s leading wildlife artists and challenges them to scale the grandeur of the outdoors into petite proportions. Artists are encouraged to contribute a painting or sculpture no larger than 9 x 12 inches. In addition to miniatures, noted artists also contribute larger works for the event, known as “Mores.” This year’s Western Visions is comprised of four distinct shows and sales. The always-popular Painting & Sculpture Show and Sale includes original works of art from many perspectives. Find distinctive jewelry and wearable arts at the Jewelry & Artisan Show and Sale. The Original Prints Show and Sale includes a variety of etchings, woodblock and lithography pieces. The Sketch Show and Sale features sketches in various media created by Western Visions artists as part of their creative process.
On the morning of Thursday, September 13, join featured artists Richard Loffl er and Tucker Smith “On the Trail.” Richard Loffl er’s heroic sculpture, “Buff alo Trails,” will be unveiled on the museum’s new sculpture trail. After the unveiling, join Tucker Smith for lunch and a horseback ride. Tickets are $100.
The museum and the Rising Sage Café are in full swing during the daytime.

RICHARD LOFFLERRichard Loffl er was born and raised in Saskatchewan, where he absorbed the natural beauty of the prairie. Since boyhood, nature and wildlife have been integral parts of his being. Working with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum from 1978 to 2000 became the impetus for his artistic endeavors. Loffl er feels strongly that when art is nurtured with discipline and cast from the heart, it communicates in an emotional language that transcends cultures and provokes the movement of thought in thousands. Loffl er has been a member of the Society of Animal Artists and the National Sculpture Society since 1989.
TUCKER SMITHTucker Smith was born in Minnesota and raised in Wyoming. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in mathematics and a minor in art. He now lives in western Wyoming, surrounded by wildlife and the mountain atmosphere that he enjoys. Most of his work depicts contemporary scenes, with a great emphasis on sense of place. He has exhibited at most of the major art shows in the United States and won the prestigious Prix de West Purchase Award in 1990. In 1999, he won the Thomas Moran Memorial Award for Painting at Masters of the American West. In 2007, he won the Autry National Center’s Trustees’ Purchase Award. In 2008, he received the Governor’s Art Award through the Wyoming Art Council.

AN UNCONVENTIONALHOUSE ON A CENTRAL IDAHO RANCH PROVIDES BIG COMFORT IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT
700 SQUARE
FEET
Resting in the lee of a gentle knoll surrounded by 3,785 acres of ranchland, the compact, clean-lined log cabin faces a trout creek that’s less than 200 feet away. “Youcan sit on the porch and see the fish rising,” architect Clark Stevens says. Viewsthrough the southeast-facing expanse of glass, which provides passive solar heating,extend for miles across Idaho’s Little Lost River Valley to the distant Lemhi Range.

ARCHITECTURE BY NEW WEST LAND COMPANY
a historic 3,785-acre property in Idaho’s Upper Little Lost River Valley, may bring to mind a rus-tic house-shaped spacecraft set down in a faraway wilderness. And that somewhatfanciful description is, in fact, not too far from its creators’ intentions.
“It’s a viewing machine,” explains Clark Stevens, president of New West LandCompany in Topanga, California. Stevens designed the modest residence with360-degree mountain views on behalf of the ranch’s developers, Beartooth Cap-ital, a Bozeman, Montana-based investment company dedicated to restoring andprotecting significant western ranch properties.
The home Stevens designed had to be the sort that would “attract the kind ofbuyer amenable to habitat restoration,” he says. “It had to make a minimal impact on the site and become part of the landscape—instead of taking a biglodge-style approach—while providing every basic need in a charming way thatfit the local vernacular.”
Stevens and his colleagues met these low-impact, landscape-friendly goals byconducting careful studies to identify possible settings that would best capturethe beauty of the surroundings without impacting the environment (see sidebar).They chose a spot off to the side of the valley floor, a short stroll from a troutcreek. In early autumn, before the cold weather set in, they sank four concretepiers into the ground. Then, the log-and-glass house was fabricated over the win-ter by Salmon River Log Homes, located just a couple of hours away in the townof Salmon, Idaho. The following spring, the house was trucked in on its steel-frame base and bolted securely to the waiting piers—where it will remain unlessa buyer later decides to unbolt it and move it elsewhere on the ranch.
Stevens created the floor plan by combining three typical Western structures:“It’s basically an amalgamation of a calving shed and a granary, connected by adogtrot,” he says with a note of amusement. Occupying the “calving-shed” por-tion of the building—about 40 percent of the total square footage—is a bedroom,enclosed toilet and sink, and an enameled cast-iron bathtub that sits out in theopen and makes the house “feel more like a spa or retreat,” Stevens says. Thelong, narrower “dogtrot,” a living/sitting area, connects the bedroom to the “gra-nary,” a towerlike space that contains the kitchen and, up a ladder, an 8-by-12-foot loft platform where guests can sleep or kids can hang out.
That’s a lot of function for such a small space. The design enhances a feelingof spaciousness thanks to sightlines that stretch from one end of the house to theother, few partitions and expansive windows at every turn. “Having less housemakes you feel more like you’re living on the land,” Stevens says. And, in thiscase, that means calling 3,785 acres home rather than 700 square feet. ○
RIGHT, TOP: The home’s roof of naturally patinated corrugated steel hews closelyto the Western vernacular. RIGHT, BOTTOM: The bathtub, which occupies part ofthe passageway between the bedroom and living area, contributes a spa-like ambiance. The wall behind it was built from acoustic plywood panels that appear tomatch the logs. FACING PAGE: The bedroom wall features squared-off timbers withlight gray chinking, which put a clean, contemporary spin on the cabin’s rustic style.

DIGITAL MODELING Stevens andhis team began by constructing a3-D digital model of the house ontheir computers, which allowedthem to manipulate the structureand examine it from all angles.
VIRTUAL EARTH Still at their computers, they then figuratively“dropped the house onto the landusing Google Earth,” Stevenssays. The website’s satellite imag-ing allowed them to fully imaginehow the house would look on thesite and what the views would be,and adjust its orientation and window placement accordingly.
ON-SITE OBSERVATIONKnowing that nothing compares to firsthand human experience,Stevens then visited the site with a stepladder in tow. “I carried itaround to where the windowswould be, climbed it and lookedthrough the rungs at each window’sheight,” he says. The result? Views that are “really fine-tuned.”
HIGH- AND LOW-TECH APPROACHES TO SITING A HOUSE Modern technology can help architects position their designs with pinpoint precision. For the 700-square-foot cabin he designed at Summit Springs Ranch, architect Clark Stevens paired state-of-the-art digital software with on-site study.

“OUR AIM WAS TO CONDENSE EVERYTHING THAT IS GREATABOUT THIS RANCH INTO A SINGLE SPOT, A SINGLE EXPERIENCE.”

Windows in the cabin’s upper-level loft were placed at mattress height so guestscould awaken to mountain views. FACING PAGE: The cabin’s window wall jutsout four feet to define a seating area, then extends into the kitchen. Tongue-and-groove pine flooring received the same nontoxic finish as the log walls,which darkened the wood to enhance the illusion that the house was builtdecades ago. Reasonably priced spun-aluminum ceiling fixtures are from IKEA.

This condo’s handsome dining room—defined byleather and wood—gets a touch of softness fromplaid fabric by Lee Jofa. FACING PAGE: For theliving room, interior designer Cindy Bardes Galvinselected rough-sawn reclaimed snow fencing forthe fireplace wall and Wallace Creek marble for thefireplace itself. The chenille sofa and wingbackchairs, covered in Lee Jofa’s Mille Fleur fabric, aresoft counterparts to the wrought-iron coffee table.
The kitchen is a study in textures: One-by-eight-inch ceramic tiles from Artistic Tile offer a bit of shine, whilebar stools from Palecek and light fixtures from Gabby add understated style. The kitchen cabinets underwenta five-step gray-wash process to get the color just right. FACING PAGE, LEFT: Galvin topped the cabinets withmother-of-pearl quartzite countertops, then added stainless-steel appliances and a custom hood. FACINGPAGE, RIGHT: Galvin chose the bold Cordoba wallcovering from Manuel Canovas and gray slate floors for theentry and hallway.

“Make the most of every square inch, just like in a ship,”the client said.
Easier said than done. But architect Kyle Webb andinterior designer Cindy Bardes Galvin couldn’t pass upwhat was a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity: TheRams-Horn Lodge owners’ association had agreed tooverhaul the old, nondescript building, giving the condoowner a chance to create a space with everything hewanted—and nothing he didn’t. “We used every squareinch,” Webb says. “We worked out every little nuanceof every detail.”
In less than 2,500 finished square feet, the pairpacked in four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms,a comfortable dining room, a gorgeous kitchen, andfamily and living rooms with plenty of space to lounge.
How? The living spaces form essentially one expansiveroom that makes the most of the condo’s unobstructedviews of Vail Mountain to the south and the GoreRange to the east. The bedrooms are cozy and com-fortable, but not enormous.
With the footprint designed, Galvin visited theowner’s California home to get a sense of how he lives.“He told me, ‘I love wood,’” she says. But instead of cre-ating a brown, lodge-style getaway, Galvin opted for afresher interpretation. She selected heathered gray,rough-sawn reclaimed snow fencing from Wyoming forthe fireplace wall in the living room and the bar area inthe kitchen. Next she added doors, casing, trim andcrown molding in a custom smoked-gray finish. Thesemuted hues set the stage for the rest of the condo. >>
The design orders for this remodeled condo in Vail Village’s Rams-Horn Lodge were straightforward:

BELOW, LEFT: “It’s one of my signature moves,” Galvin says of the coffered ceilings with pops of color onthe recessed drywall—an easy way to add architectural interest and color to any space. (Galvin added cof-fered ceilings in all four bedrooms and the living and dining areas.) BELOW, RIGHT: Clean-lined and hand-some, the master bath shows off a Balneo tub from BainUltra. The floors look like wood, but they’re actuallyblack-and-brown porcelain tiles, a water-friendly alternative. FACING PAGE: Patterns blend beautifully inthis guest room. Galvin chose the Marcel striped wallcovering from Stark, Windowpane Wool fabric fromLee Jofa for the custom headboard and Holly Hunt’s Estrella Christal fabric for the window treatments.
To pull off the relatively monochromatic colorscheme, Galvin selected a wide range of materials thatadd depth and texture. She covered the living and din-ing room walls in a buttery yellow vinyl wallpaper byThibaut with a python-skin texture. She chose blackmarble for the fireplace and added nickel carpet tacks tothe wood surround for a bit of shine. In the kitchen, sheopted against boring painted drywall and instead cov-ered the walls in one-by-eight-inch shiny porcelain tiles.Metal-and-linen chandeliers from Gabby light thespace. And in each bedroom, Galvin added a cofferedceiling and “popped an accent color” into the recessedsquares. “It’s easy to forget the ceilings, but this trick isa good way to add architectural interest,” she says.
Next, Galvin layered on rugs, furnishings and fix-tures that look and feel both sophisticated and casual.
The living room hosts a chenille gray-and-yellow sofa,two squared-off wingback chairs in a gray-and-yellowstag print, a leather trunk-inspired side table, and atwo-toned wood coffee table with an iron base. Thefamily room seats 15 on a handsome sectional sofa cov-ered in highly durable ultrasuede; two additional “air-plane” chairs in leather with riveted aluminum backsand bases are both playful and masculine. The bed-rooms embody softness, courtesy of upholstered head-boards, textured blankets and coverlets, and patternedwindow treatments.
“People tend to think that bigger is always better, andthat you can only get ‘real design’ in a large space,”Galvin says. “That’s just not true. This condo feels bigenough but also intimate. It’s a home that’s beautifuland functions just as it should.” ○

Mix It UpDesigner Cindy Bardes Galvin is a master at mixing pat-terns to create the casual sophistication so many moun-tain-home owners want. So how does she do it?
INDULGE IN SAMPLES “I pull at least 50 fabrics for eachjob,” Galvin says. As she decides on fixed finishes—likethe snow fencing surrounding the living room’s fire-place—she edits down her stack to the fabrics that workbest with the finishes.
STICK WITH A COLOR PALETTE “You can do almostanything if you have a defined palette,” the designersays. In the master bedroom (right), Galvin upholsteredthe walls with a rich paisley fabric and then repeated theearthy colors in stripes, checks, solids and paisleysthroughout the space to complete the look.
DON’T CONFUSE PATTERN AND TEXTURE In the livingroom, the gray chenille sofa has the faintest hint of yellow thread. “To me, that’s not a pattern. It’s texture,”Galvin says. Small spaces that might be overwhelmedby bold patterns can handle—and will benefit from—awide range of textures and materials.
MATCH YOUR FABRIC TO YOUR LIFESTYLE Not all fab-rics wear well, so pay attention to where you’ll use thatfabulous linen-and-silk herringbone. “Pick mohair, cutvelvet or chenille for anything that gets heavy-dutyuse,” Galvin suggests. Use linen or silk for pieces thatget less use or for accents, such as pillows, that youcan replace more easily.
RIGHT: Galvin upholstered the walls in themaster bedroom to add a layer of luxury. “Itlends such a coziness to the room,” she saysof the Ralph Lauren Home Traquaire Paisleyfabric.

BOTTOM: Galvinadded a bit of pattern to these window treat-ments with Groundworks’ Honeycomb trim.FACING PAGE: Airplane chairs are a clever—and comfortable—design trick: The leatherechoes the dining room chairs, and the aluminum bases reflect the stainless steel inthe kitchen. “It’s all subtly woven together,”Galvin says. “Repeating materials in separatespaces helps create a cohesive design.”

WITH STYLE TO SPARE
1,600SQUARE

on the banks of Montana’sYellowstone River, architect Brett Nave, residential designer Lori Ryker and interior designer StephanieSandston had to look past a few eyesores to see its potential. “It was leaning in six directions, therewas purple shag carpeting on the stairs and a baby goat on the kitchen countertop,” Nave recalls. Anadded wrinkle: Because of its location in a floodway and no-build zone, the structure couldn’t beexpanded beyond its original footprint.
But the more they contemplated the space, “the more obvious it became that something wonderfulcould be done with it,” Sandston says. “The main room had a beautiful, simple shape that was worthsaving.” Homeowner Paige York wasn’t deterred either, and gave the design team her challenge: Createa comfortable vacation retreat—complete with a master suite, bedroom and bath for her two youngchildren, kitchen, living and dining rooms and plenty of storage space—all in just 1,600 square feet.

LET THE OUTDOORS INTo make the most of the home’s beautiful surroundings—
and brighten the interiors with natural light—the designteam created multiple connections to the outdoors.
Thoughtfully placed windows capture views of willowtrees, mountains and the river, and porches and decks
offer additional living space in summer months.
CHOOSE COLOR WISELY“If you’ve done the work to bring natural light in and then you
paint the walls a dark color, you’re killing the light,” Nave says.“It’s better to choose moderate to light colors that complementthe color of the natural light.” Throughout the house, walls are
painted a sage green hue and the wood ceilings are painted whiteor lightly whitewashed. In the master bedroom (below), the wood
ceiling is covered with a diluted version of the green wall color.
scale backTo fit a lot of function in a littlehouse, the design team whittleddown the proportions. Walkwayswere trimmed from a typical widthof 4 feet to just 2.5 feet, and some interior doors are just 24 incheswide. To squeeze in a dining room, they designed a 2-by-8-footwalnut table and built-in banquette.Easy-to-maneuver backless stoolsstand in for chairs.
get light right“People often struggle with window size and placement,” Navesays. “If every window is large, atsome point the space begins tofeel like a fishbowl. You need somewindows that are bigger than youare to make you feel like you’reoutside, but you also need smallerwindows for contrast.”
build in storageIn a small space, corraling clutteris key. “This house doesn’t haveclosets, which are actually prettyinefficient,” Nave says. “Instead,we put in a lot of cabinetry.”Bedroom built-ins offer cupboardsat the top, drawers at the baseand a hanging wardrobe inbetween. Near the kitchen, an 8-by-8-foot wall of wardrobe-style storage conceals pantry items.
master the mix“My first inclination was to choosesmall-scale living room furnish-ings,” York says, “but I did theexact opposite.” Oversized chaisesby Verellen stand in for couchesand double as daybeds for thekids. A vintage chair upholstered inyellow vinyl and leggy lacqueredtables lighten the look. “I love the contrast of a sleek modern piecewith the ‘crunch factor’ of thewood floors and walls,” York says.
FACILITATE FLOWA round table placed at the center of the living room encourages traffic to circulatearound it. A slipcovered club chair and twochaises—which provide as much seating assofas, minus the bulk—are positionedaround the perimeter of the room. “A moretraditional furniture layout would have killedthe action of the room, the cross views andthe sense of open space,” Ryker says.

OPEN UP“One of our design challenges was keepingthe upstairs rooms from feeling enclosed,”Sandston says. The solution is translucentresin wall panels by 3form that serve as adividing wall and headboard, eliminating theneed for a bed frame. The design team builta basic platform bed and slid it up againstthe wall, then added simple L-shaped bedside tables that are built right into thewall. “The 3form panels have reeds runningthrough them,” Sandston says, “and whenlight passes through, the effect is much like sunlight filtering through trees.”
98
CHOOSE FURNISHINGSTHAT “FLOAT”
The compact master bathroomfeatures a five-foot-long bathtuband concrete sinks supported by
a steel frame. “We floated thecabinetry above the floor so thespace doesn’t feel so packed,”Nave says. A sliding barn-style
door between the bedroom andbathroom (left and below)—one of
the few doors in the house—isinset with frosted green glass
panels to let light flow through.“We avoided closing off any space
too much,” Nave says. “Any timethere’s a window in a room, we
want to let that natural light passthrough to the next space.”
99
KEEP IT SIMPLE “When designing a small space,
it’s important to always ask yourself, ‘What else can I take
away?’” Ryker says. To minimizevisual clutter, she suggests creat-ing one concise palette of details
and materials—and sticking with itthroughout the house. Notice how
the combination of steel andwood on the stair railing (left)
repeats on the sliding barn-styledoor (right) and the vanity in themaster bathroom (top). To keep
this bare-bones palette from feeling cold, the design teamincorporated lots of local and
reclaimed materials, like the oldpickle-vat wood used on the
floors. “Materials like that addwarmth without cluttering the
space,” Ryker says. ○

A stone path leads from the homeowners’ main house to the cot-tage, where architect Peter Boes maximized the availablespace by lowering the floor, adding upper level dormers and re-locating the front entrance to the opposite side of the originalfloor plan.

FACING PAGE: Thecharming, curved front door welcomes the Watson fam-ily’s curious cat, and the custom cabinet houses stereoequipment; speakers are hidden behind the upper screen.
The couple hired TKP Architects, the firm that had re-modeled their nearby primary home, to turn the small,squat structure into a guesthouse and goldsmithing stu-dio for Barbara. But it wasn’t long before project archi-tect Peter Boes discovered that the structure—built in1931 on a foundation of old telephone poles—would facesome serious zoning restrictions. “Because the countyconsidered the outbuilding a ‘nonconforming’ structure,the new design couldn’t exceed the exterior dimensionsalready in place—including its height,” he says. “Thatgave us just 450 square feet to work with. And since wecouldn’t build up, we decided to dig down.”
By lowering the floor of the cottage into the hill-side—and adding a steeply pitched roof with largedormer windows—the architect was able to increasethe volume of space inside the guesthouse. “The new,lower floor required us to move the front door fromthe high side of the slope to the low side, which pro-vided the opportunity to create a private patio atgrade,” he says.
General contractor Cress Carter of Old GreenwichBuilders oversaw the excavation to lower the floor. AsMurphy’s Law would have it, his crew soon hit a >>

bank of solid granite. Since they couldn’t blast it with dynamite, the men had to use hydraulic split-ters to painstakingly chisel out four feet of rock.
Dan and Barbara had been intrigued by the architecture of several stone U.S. Park Service build-ings they’d seen during a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, a vernacular they hoped to incorpo-rate in the new design. “We appreciated the timeless quality of those old buildings, with heavy bouldersat the base tapering upward, and we envisioned a cottage that would seem to grow out of the rock out-croppings that surround it,” Dan says.
To recreate the look of those historic structures, Carter’s team used massive stones to build the cot-tage’s exterior walls. “Each stone was carefully chosen to fit,” Carter says. “Imagine trying to delicatelyplace a several-ton boulder with a crane. None of us had ever done anything quite like that before.”
Antique timbers were specified for the interior trusses, adding to the cottage’s vintage feel. >>

“THE VOLUME OF THE SPACEMAKES THE COTTAGE FEEL
MUCH BIGGER THAN ITS SMALL SQUARE FOOTAGE.”
PETER BOES
The old-growth pine beams and wide-plank flooringwere reclaimed from a Civil War-era ammunition fac-tory in Louisiana.
Though the home’s aesthetic may be rooted in thepast, its construction takes full advantage of modernamenities like energy-efficient windows and doors,spray-foam insulation and radiant heat floors. “It’s al-ways cozy inside, no matter what the weather is likeoutside,” Barbara says.
The open floor plan was streamlined by the use ofbuilt-in cabinetry, which hides a fold-down bed andBarbara’s jewelry-making tools and equipment. A par-tial upper floor, accessible by a ladder, was added asa sleeping loft. “We wanted to recreate the cozy feel-ing you have as a child when you’re tucked in a com-fortable nook,” Barbara says. “Children love the loft,and adults tell us they feel like kids when they’re upthere reading.”
Visitors are always surprised to learn that theguesthouse is new. “The limitations on the height andsize drove us to seek solutions that ultimately addedauthenticity and charm to the house,” Boes says. “Thecottage seems much more attached to the site and itssurroundings now.” ○

“People often think that bold color will make a small space feel evensmaller. I think the opposite is true. Using a chartreuse color like PETAL02 by Yolo Colorhouse can give a powder room, alcove or even a tinyhouse warmth, character and pow!
