Case Study: Hillside Home, Shrewsbury, Vermont
This evening’s Sunday slow read. We’ll bring the warmth, you bring the tea.
Perched above 39 acres of Vermont landscape, owners Jeff and Gina set out to create a home that felt deeply connected to its surroundings. The result is a space defined by balance.
Natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and expansive views come together in something that feels both grounded and quietly refined.
In a place where winter temperatures can fall to -23°C, warmth becomes something deeper than comfort. It’s elemental, and thoughtfully considered.
At the heart of their home are reclaimed Rococo window radiators, chosen as much for their story as for their performance. Originally cast in Buffalo, New York by the American Radiator Company, each piece dates back to the late 19th century. Restored in England before returning to the US, they carry over a century of design heritage with them.
In total, 123 sections have been reassembled and positioned beneath wide picture windows, where intricate cast iron detailing meets vast, open views. They deliver a steady, enveloping heat while quietly framing the landscape beyond.
For Jeff and Gina, it’s a full-circle journey. Radiators with roots in America, restored in England, and thoughtfully returned home, now part of a space designed for modern living in an uncompromising climate.
In Vermont’s stillness, these Rococo forms soften the edges, proving that practical elements can be just as beautiful as they are essential.
