After nearly eight years of renting a tiny apartment in the center of Asolo, in northern Italy, Guido Chiavelli and his wife, Sabrina, were ready to find a house outside of town and start a family. The Chiavellis traded in their cramped flat for a renovated farmhouse in the country. Architect Filippo Caprioglio paired the indigenous sandstone of the existing structure with teak mounted on two-foot-wide panels for the exterior. Locally sourced Italian slate covers the ground floor rooms.
