Facade #197

This magnificent example of a contemporary Alpine chalet demonstrates a harmonious blend of traditional mountain architectural elements with modern solutions. The building's facade masterfully combines natural materials: warm wood and natural stone, creating an organic connection with the surrounding mountain landscape.

Particularly noteworthy is the multi-level structure of the facade with expressive balconies equipped with geometrically complex railings. These railings are finished in a gray color and feature a distinctive orthogonal pattern, adding a contemporary accent to the traditional chalet architecture. The curved balconies on the second floor are especially interesting — they follow the organic form of the roof and create a dynamic architectural element.

The roof features the traditional Alpine architecture's generous overhang, which not only functionally protects the facade from precipitation but also creates a characteristic silhouette for the building. The combination of stone masonry in the lower part of the structure with wooden cladding on the upper floors represents a classic mountain architecture technique, executed with modern clean lines.

The landscaping around the house is minimalist and functional — light gravel filling and young coniferous plantings emphasize the architectural features of the structure and organically integrate it into the mountain environment. The overall composition demonstrates careful attention to the site's topography, with the cascading structure of the building following the natural slope.
