The apartment is located in a chalet in Rougemont, near the Gstaad ski resort. The owners wanted to transform it into a modern, open, and minimalist space while preserving the chalet’s character.
Previously divided, the kitchen and dining area were opened up to form a large, continuous space that flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the living room. This new layout enhances natural light and improves circulation, making the apartment feel more spacious and inviting. Located on the top floor of the chalet, the space benefits from generous volumes, further amplified by the sloped ceiling. To emphasize the materiality of the wood and create a sense of continuity, the ceiling was clad with three-layer wooden panels extending across the entire roof.
At the back of the apartment, the bedrooms and bathroom were also fully renovated. Custom-built wardrobes, made from the same three-layer wooden panels as the ceiling, integrate seamlessly into the space, reinforcing the cohesive material palette. The bedrooms maintain a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on natural materials and simple forms to enhance comfort and tranquility.
In the bathroom, wood-effect tiles add warmth while maintaining a clean and contemporary look. A translucent glass door allows natural light to filter into the hallway, creating a softer transition between spaces. Thoughtful material choices and a carefully considered layout ensure that the apartment remains both functional and aesthetically harmonious, striking a balance between modernity and the timeless charm of a Swiss chalet.
