La Cachette

Extension and renovation of a hotel originally designed by the famous architect Charlotte Perriand in the ski resort Arc 1600.

The Hotel La Cachette is a landmark in the construction of Arc 1600 by the famous architect Charlotte Perriand in the 1970s. Awarded the “Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable” label, the challenge is to transform and modernize this building and make it more user-friendly by building on the existing architecture, while preserving Charlotte Perriand’s heritage.

Friendly Hotel, the owner and operator, wants to create a hotel that lives with the seasons and is turned towards nature. Charlotte Perriand was keen to open up the building to the landscape, particularly through framed views. For this project, we deliberately chose to bring the landscape inside, to insinuate paths, to recompose paths, to create a dialogue between inside and outside like a mirror effect.

Thinking about spaces also means thinking about their use and accessibility.

The former gallery between the hotel and the restaurant has been transformed and enlarged.

Once a place of passage, the extension makes this space the heart of the project: a central living space open to the outside, housing the bar area and shared workspace. Whether you’re coming from the hotel, from outside or from the restaurant, you’ll be passing through this new universe, that of La Cachette.

The lounge

The main element is the imposing central fireplace around which we will meet.
A string of lights on the ceiling recalls the traditional torchlight descent, the route and the crossing of the slopes.
The shades of green, grey and ochre used are directly inspired by the surrounding landscape.
The selection of furniture and coffee tables was made with Selency, a specialist in antique and vintage objects.
