Les Houches Chalet
Chamonix
An Alpine Retreat, in the Heart of Les Houches

Perched in an elevated position at the foot of Mont Blanc, the chalet enjoys a spectacular alpine setting in the Chamonix Valley. Designed to maximise its location, large glazed openings frame sweeping mountain views, bringing the drama of the peaks inside.

 

 

The chalet’s construction blends traditional craftsmanship with modern timber frame techniques, allowing for expansive glazing that connects the home to its stunning alpine surroundings. This thoughtful combination preserves the warmth and character of classic chalet architecture while strengthening its bond with the dramatic landscape.

The heart of the home is a double-height living area, where an exposed timber structure introduces warmth and texture, while a sleek contemporary log burner offers a cosy core during the winter months.

 

 

In summer, the design opens up—large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending the living space onto a generous terrace that overlooks the valley below, celebrating its changing seasons.
