#16769. Modern Alpine chalet with contrasting terracotta facade extension and eco-friendly solutions

Before us is a striking example of modern Alpine architecture, where traditional chalet forms are organically complemented by contemporary elements. The main building represents a classic interpretation of a mountain house with a characteristic gabled roof, equipped with solar panels – an excellent example of how eco-friendly technologies can be integrated into traditional architecture.

Of particular note is the extension with a terracotta facade made of modern materials, which creates an expressive contrast with the main volume of the building. The use of large glass surfaces in the extension allows maximum natural light to enter the interior and visually connects the indoor space with the picturesque mountain landscape. The round window in the upper part of the extension is an interesting design technique that adds dynamism to the facade and references elements of modernist architecture.

The main building features traditional Alpine-region balconies with wooden railings, which are not only functional but also serve as important decorative elements. The light-colored plaster walls harmoniously combine with the dark roof finish and wooden elements, creating a balanced color composition.

When designing your own facade, you can adopt the principle of contrasting volumes, materials, and textures as implemented in this project. The use of large glass surfaces, a bright accent color to highlight separate volumes, and the integration of eco-friendly solutions – all these techniques help create expressive architecture that harmoniously fits into the surrounding landscape.
