The project
Hames built his house in the 1950s on his parents’ farm barn. It has been restored down to small details by stripping later finishes, and now holds the Hames gallery, his studio as he left it, two guest suites, a kitchen and a refectory, without false ceilings or drywall.
Behind it, an extension shaped after the house holds four workshops, two galleries, offices and services. Built in exposed concrete and wrapped in rough aluminium like the sculptor’s first shack, it looks out over the valley and the Intermoselle cement works.
A tall window over the valley.
