Chalet Face Nord

Nestled in the pristine alpine landscape of Verbier, Switzerland, this meticulously renovated chalet is a testament to thoughtful architectural intervention. Traditional mountain aesthetics meet contemporary design principles, and the structure emerges from its sloped terrain as if it were a natural extension of the mountainside.

Integrating Sky-Frame sliding systems transforms this once-conventional mountain dwelling into a luminous sanctuary. Where solid walls once defined boundaries, vast expanses of frameless glass now foster a seamless connection between interior and exterior. As the sliding panes glide effortlessly aside, the architectural envelope dissolves, merging the living spaces with the outdoors.

Sustainability considerations are evident in the precise thermal performance of the glazing systems, which maintain comfort while minimising energy consumption despite the challenging alpine climate. The renovation preserves the chalet's original footprint, underscoring a commitment to responsible intervention within this sensitive mountain ecosystem.

The project ultimately achieves an exquisite balance - honouring alpine building traditions while boldly reimagining what mountain living can be in the contemporary context. It is a sophisticated sanctuary where architecture serves as both a frame and a canvas for Switzerland's majestic natural splendour.
