At the request of long time clients, we designed and supervised the construction of a new cabin in the Chamonix valley.
The site is located within a residential compound built in the 50’s. A cabin dating from the original master plan was on the lot.
The location benefits from sweeping and stunning views over the Mont Blanc skyline. This majestic view was the starting point of the design.

This cottage was originally a summer residence, like many others in Chamonix, and was therefore not insulated for winter use. No upgrades had been done since its construction approximately 70 years ago.

Context
The building was originally an old wooden shed in very poor condition – a strong candidate for demolition.
The challenge was to find ways to develop and optimize the spaces within a volume that could not be modified due to planning by-laws.
