Nestled on a sloped hillside, this modern chalet seamlessly blends contemporary design with traditional Swiss architectural sensibilities. The home is constructed using a wood panelized system and a masonry basement level, incorporating locally sourced materials and skilled craftsmen. A solar standing seam metal roof sits atop the structure, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the Grand Muveran massif, ensuring a continuous connection with the landscape.
The traditional Swiss chalet is reinterpreted with a modern, abstract approach through movement and flow using stacked dark geometric screens to create a striking silhouette against the mountainous backdrop. The home maintains visual continuity while embracing openness and honoring the heritage of the region while the contrast between the dark exterior and the light-filled interior enhances the home’s contemporary aesthetic, bridging the gap between classic and modern.
