Design in Details

This mountain chalet, set on a steeply sloped terrain, is designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings while offering a unique experience of entry and flow. The entrance, framed by a solid concrete portal, gives the impression of entering a cave. As you step inside, you are greeted at the level where the bedrooms are located, providing a calm and secluded resting area.

A square staircase then leads down to the next levels, each with its own distinct purpose. The first descending level hosts a spacious family living area, designed for gatherings and relaxation. Below, the main living area opens onto a terrace with access to a garden. This space extends naturally outdoors with a pergola, creating a shaded retreat perfect for enjoying the open air during summer months. Each level, with carefully planned views and access to the outdoors, ensures the chalet offers comfort, intimacy, and a connection with the surrounding landscape.
