Verbier Chalet

Country House by Sophie Hamer Architecture Sàrl in Bagnes, CH

Set amid the sunny, snow-covered pitched roofs of Verbier township, this renovation transforms an outdated chalet apartment into a rustic yet modern mountain retreat.

Internally, the spaces are carefully reworked to offer a greater sense of openness while retaining the cosy, humble characteristics of a mountain chalet. Emphasising comfort and timelessness, the interior palette brings together hardy natural materials and local craftsmanship. Raw oak panelling, soft eggshell plaster and wrought iron details create a materially rich yet soft atmosphere.

Working with a client with a strong appreciation for vintage design furniture and objects, the project draws on a history of mountain aesthetics and french design. Selected key pieces furnish the interior in rich materials and textures complementing the calm, warming experience of the space.
