Residence des Cimes

A permanent connection with nature.

The Résidence des Cimes is much more than a simple mountain chalet; it’s a second home tailor-made for a family of four, where every detail reflects the needs and passions of its inhabitants, while blending harmoniously into its natural surroundings.

From the very first sketches, the customers’ desire was clear: to remain in constant contact with the surrounding natural beauty. As a result, the many bay windows offer panoramic views of the surrounding forest. Direct access to the outdoors from every room reinforces this immersion in nature. The central corridor punctuated by vertical windows offers framed views of the landscape and guides residents through the various spaces. The living room, the focal point of this stroll, is clad in glass across its entire south-facing facade, to capture maximum light in winter, while in summer the rays of the zenital sun are blocked by the generous overhang of the roof.

A functional space for outdoor leisure activities

With outdoor living at the heart of the family’s activities, our architects meticulously articulated the spaces to accommodate equipment related to winter sports and motorized activities. A vast mudroom-style room, a veritable airlock between indoors and outdoors, was integrated to store this equipment. Similarly, a functional checkroom at the entrance meets practical day-to-day needs.

Modularity and space optimization

Anticipating a possible transformation into a main residence, the design was conceived with modularity in mind.
Every space was designed to be used to the maximum, and ingenious storage solutions were integrated throughout the chalet, notably in the long corridor linking the three volumes.

A passion for wine

The owner’s passion for wine was echoed in the design of a wine cellar integrated into the very heart of the residence through the fixed furniture in the corridor. Like a showcase, this glass cellar highlights each bottle, adding a touch of elegance to the space.
