The Alpine Chalet CPL in Montreux, Switzerland, designed by Ralph Germann Architectes, showcases a stunning fusion of traditional mountain architecture and contemporary design. Originally built in 1830, this rural building has been expertly transformed into a modern haven, preserving the property’s historic charm while incorporating raw materials like concrete and lime plaster. The design emphasizes a neutral setting to showcase the clients’ artwork and antique furniture, with a large horizontal window offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
