Layout details
The interior design mission covered the entire of this chalet near the Grands Montets ski area in Argentière, chalet designed by the TEMA Architects agency. In the basement, the entrance is designed around a monumental sculptural staircase, around which one circulates to access the ski room, the garage, and the wellness area with spa and bar. The main floor, meanwhile is completely open and includes a living room with a view of Mont Blanc as well as a kitchen open to the dining room. The mezzanine, an office and relaxation area, stands out with its cantilevered volume. The chalet features light colors and a transparent railing to offer glimpses of the garden and mountains.
It includes three suites, a dormitory, and a master bedroom. We commissioned Clémentine Viallon, an artist and graphic designer,
to create minimalist headboard designs inspired by the alpine landscape.
