Sochi’s deluxe winter wonderland, the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort sporting an $8-billion-dollar-plus makeover, may be the buzzworthy skiing destination of late.

A longtime collaborator of Le Corbusier’s, in Paris, Perriand translated her high-modern aesthetic to the Alps without sacrificing respect for the natural surroundings. She designed minimal, modestly-sized apartments, but eliminated room partitions and featured large windows to keep them airy and comfortable. And she outfitted her lodges with stylish furniture designs in pine and tan leather. Her then-radical living concept quickly became the Alpine norm.<\/p>\n\t
