Chalet
A wooden house with a sloping roof, typical of Alpine regions, often used as a vacation home, combining rustic charm with practical design for mountain environments.
Key Features
Steeply Pitched Roof
The signature sloping roof is designed to shed heavy snow loads while creating dramatic interior spaces with exposed beams.
Wide Eaves
Extended roof overhangs protect the exterior walls from harsh mountain weather and provide sheltered outdoor areas.
Wooden Construction
Traditional chalets feature timber framing and wood cladding, creating a warm, natural aesthetic that blends with mountain landscapes.
Ornate Balconies
Decorative wooden balconies with intricate carvings add character while providing outdoor space to enjoy mountain views.
Large Windows
Generous windows, often on the gable end, frame spectacular views and allow natural light to flood the interior spaces.
