St Moritz

This elegant chalet, built entirely in wood and stone, overlooks and settles “respectfully” into the enchanting Swiss mountain landscape. Arranged over two floors, with a mezzanine area overlooking the living space, the structure of the home features a deliberate, continuous combination of wood and glass, lending the space a sense of solidity and lightness at once, while also fostering an ongoing dialogue with the outside landscape.

Stone and wood alternate in both the exterior and interior cladding of this spacious home. The most striking feature of the interior is the enormous fireplace that characterises the entire living space, becoming, as a result, the true heart of the whole house. The large windows, which let the eye range freely over the surrounding scenery, are also of great scenic impact.

Alongside the imposing fireplace, another distinctive feature of the residence is the inclusion of unusual and surprising furnishings, such as the elaborate sculptural chandelier and other elements that make the space intimate yet strongly characterised.

The images, which show only a few of the stages of the long and meticulous construction work, attest to the accuracy and care taken in its execution, the very high value of the manual craftsmanship, and the excellence of the artisans and professionals involved in realising even the smallest details.
