The object began with the discovery of this exceptional land by the architect who proposed it to the client. The latter, seduced, envisages the construction of three chalets, which will be reduced to two constructions to conform to the agreements made with the municipality.

The client, who has already carried out other projects with the agency, wanted a contemporary, unprecedented and striking proposal. He asked for a strong and pure signature of the Agency’s architectural style. And it is thus that the kiosks on the roofs, these open volumes torn from the agreed space, are born and gives the master-bedroom a spectacular view on the chain of Mt Blanc, a luminous escape.

The whole was devised taking particular care in framing the view, to isolate themselves from the road while guaranteeing easy access and good relations with the neighbourhood.

The property boundaries brought its share of technical challenges with the difficulties inherent to the holding of the land during the first phases of the work. In addition, the connections between the kiosks and the roof required expertise and ingenuity to guarantee watertightness and good insulation. “Belles Echappées” includes wellness areas, such as sauna, hammam, spas, low energy powered by geothermal energy.

The chalets were built on the basis of a concrete frame, dressed in wood and metal, allowing to integrate the responses to seismic constraints. This blend of materials enhances the design of this project with its high-end finishes.

For the architect “Belles Échappées” offers a singular project with a sharp personal style
