Masterpieces: Chalet Architecture and Design

by Michelle Galindo

The coming together of the forces of mountainous landscapes and architecture finds a unique expression in the chalet cottage. The singularity of location captures the imagination of architects and designers with spectacular houses and unusual interiors. Light-flooded rooms with giant panoramic windows may be juxtaposed with archaic forms; homey parlours contrast against unusual implementation of stone and concrete.
