Architecte Ha Progettato Una Casa Vicino Al Confine Svizzero

DIVONNE SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents this remarkable house, distinguished by two major characteristics. On one hand, it embraces the classic codes of a chalet, with its sloping roof, abundant use of wood, clean rectangular shape, and carefully aligned windows. On the other hand, it breaks free from any folkloric elements to offer a contemporary interpretation, marked by open spaces, the absence of doors and partitions, and functionally designed stairs.

The house is centered around noble materials, selected for their chromatic harmony, compatibility with local tradition, and functionality. The earth-mixed plaster covering the interior and exterior walls provides a natural and colorful support, while the gray volcanic stone adorns the bathroom and baseboards. An oak floor extends throughout the living space, creating a transition between the warm tones of red cedar and the lighter shades of other materials.

The entire building is defined by two dominant elements: red cedar and gray iron, specially designed for this project. The strength of the architecture lies in its rectangular scheme, determined by the terrain’s configuration, and the discreet use of large windows. These ensure continuity with the garden while preserving privacy without obstructing the view of the surrounding landscape.

Designed by architect Thierry Alicot, this refuge, located at the foot of the French Alps (near the Swiss border), offers breathtaking views of Mont Blanc. It provides a unique aesthetic experience, oscillating between East and West, mountain and city, intimacy and openness. The Japanese garden to the east, accompanied by a pond of aquatic plants to the north and illuminated by ground lights, creates a verdant setting around the house.
