About the Project
The client’s dream was to create an alpine chalet situated on the picturesque slopes of the Austrian Alps with panoramic views of mountain peaks and alpine meadows. Our objective was to create a contemporary interpretation of traditional Austrian architecture that combines the region’s historical heritage with 21st-century comfort and functionality for year-round mountain recreation.

Design Solution
We developed a classic composition using traditional alpine proportions and structural elements. The central concept — “modern interpretation of centuries-old tradition” — is achieved through preserving authentic materials and construction technologies while integrating contemporary engineering solutions. The gabled roof with large overhangs, exposed wooden beams, and spacious terraces create the typical alpine silhouette.
Key Features
Authentic Materials
Use of local Alpine spruce timber, natural stone from regional quarries, and traditional roofing materials
Alpine Architecture
Preservation of classic chalet proportions with large roof overhangs, exposed structural elements, and multi-level balconies to expand recreational areas
Climate Adaptation
Robust thermal insulation for harsh alpine winters, snow shedding systems from roofs, and efficient heating through both fireplace and electric systems
Interior Solutions
The spacious interior combines traditional wooden beam ceiling structures with contemporary minimalist furniture. Large panoramic windows provide unobstructed views of alpine landscapes, while the fireplace creates the cozy atmosphere of a mountain retreat.
Result
A harmonious blend of traditional Austrian architecture with modern comfort. The chalet organically integrates into the alpine landscape, creating an ideal mountain retreat where the authenticity of historical heritage is complemented by all the conveniences of contemporary living amidst the magnificent Austrian Alps.
