Gryon Chalet

Using the site and surrounding conditions to guide the design, the 3-story Gryon Chalet is strategically sited atop the steep alpine landscape of the Vaud Alps. The home is angled to provide optimal views of the Grand Muveran massif with floor to ceiling windows in the living room offering a panoramic view of the mountains and adjacent ski slope. Drawing inspiration from traditional old chalets, wood exteriors connect the homes to their location while exposure from the sun overtime darkens the wood to create a monolithic contrast to the landscape.
