The chalet is located in a hamlet on the side of the mountain and enjoys a clear view of the Alps and the villages below. The old barn-stable of 1780 located at the edge of the road has a stone base surmounted by a traditional construction in planks with a gallery for drying hay and a roof with 2 slopes.

The transformation into vacation accommodation is integrated within the existing walls on a floor area of 16 m2 on 3 levels for the living area. An underground extension houses the technical room.

The intervention on the exterior was limited to the creation of new openings, the renovation and securing of the gallery as well as a development of the entrance area.

The position of the existing entrance has been maintained, it gives access to the ground floor, in the kitchen / living room from which one can admire a magnificent view through the large opening created in the stone wall. Upstairs is the master bedroom with access to the gallery.

The bathroom and children’s bedroom are located on the lower level, the old cattle door is replaced by a glass door bringing in natural light.

The 3 levels are insulated inside the existing walls and entirely covered with larch wood.
The insulating glass, interior insulation and technical equipment provide all the necessary comfort for this vacation home.
