Soft Textures And Clean Lines: Chalet Gstaad In The Swiss Alps

Chalet Gstaad is a private vacation chalet in the Swiss Alps, designed by Laurence Rouveure of Ardesia Design in collaboration with Amaldi Neder Architects. The objective of constructing this weekend hideaway was to generate a warm, cozy atmosphere using a all-natural palette of neutral colors and soft textures such as linen and wool. The designer focused on creating pure and clean lines and a sense of unity to the whole of the 380 square meters of this gorgeous lodge.

The walls of this chalet are covered in Australian rough timber and the floor is produced of Danish fir planks of up to 15m lengthy. In the bedrooms, wool and cashmere fabric have been mounted instead of a headboard to break up the all-wood look. The bathrooms are plastered in marmorino (or tadelakt) to develop contrast to the wood even though keeping to the all-natural theme. The furnishings is a mix of new, modern, furniture, conventional pieces and eclectic finds sourced from all over Europe.
