Hill Mitchell Berry have been successfully shortlisted for the Ski Chalet Award in the ID&A Awards 2014.
This new 5 bedroom luxurious ski chalet provides 2,800 sq. ft. over three floors and was completed in time for the 2014 Skiing Season.
Located in Sainte Foy, near to Val d’isere, France, this luxurious chalet provides generous living space. The chalet extends over three floors, and features a subterranean garage and locker room. Its central feature staircase creates a link to all floors. By re-orientating the living space Hill Mitchell Berry were able to maximise the views whilst making the space more interesting.
The panoramic views enjoyed across the valley to the resort of Les Arc were further exploited by the glazing on the south elevation. Natural materials in the form of dry stone walling and timber floors bring warmth and elegance while still providing a hint of tradition to this otherwise contemporary interior.
Externally, the design exploits the fall of the land and maintains the traditional ‘Savoie’ region Chalet style with extensive use of timber and stone.
