Dear Client, this project in the heart of the mountains is centered around merging contemporary design with a high-end chalet-inspired ambiance, perfectly suited to the stunning natural landscape that surrounds it. Designed with clean lines, rich textures, and purposeful luxury, this open-plan living-dining area is crafted for warmth, connection, and comfort.
Natural Light & Scenic Views
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the breathtaking mountain scenery, flooding the space with natural light and grounding the minimalist design in nature. Every angle invites the outdoors in, creating a constant dialogue between the interior and the landscape. To amplify this connection, two full-length walls feature warm patina cabinetry that not only provides storage but also enhances the views by creating contrast with the lush greenery outside thus further framing the view and drawing the look.
Sophisticated Comfort for Family Gatherings
At the heart of this cozy retreat, the Happening sofa by Lago Italy sets a welcoming tone, offering ample seating for family and friends. It’s paired with the iconic Cowrie chairs from Made in Ratio and sculptural walnut stools by Vitra. Each piece was chosen not only for its comfort and style but for its flexibility, allowing for various configurations to accommodate intimate conversations, movie nights, or large family gatherings. Round coffee tables add to the versatility, while also creating a reading nook nestled in the sofa’s corner.
Dining Space for Connection
Anchoring the space is an expansive dining table that can comfortably seat up to 14 guests, catering to the client’s love for hosting and celebrating moments with loved ones. The Flair O chairs by B&B Italia lend sculptural sophistication, enhancing the flow between the living and dining areas, while also standing out as artistic pieces. This is a dining area designed not just for meals, but for memories. To further accommodate guests we have created an extendable kitchen island table which can accommodate four more people in continuation of the dining space, while still maintaining the complete storage capability of the kitchen island.
Cozy Reading Nooks
In addition to the main social zones, two intimate reading nooks have been created within the space. One nook is nestled in the corner of the sofa, perfect for quiet moments and unwinding with a book. The other is designed to flow naturally from the dining cabinets to the kitchen, providing a serene retreat while remaining part of the open-plan layout.
Natural, Warm Materials
The material palette echoes the hues of the mountains, with oak floors and rich wood paneling that add warmth and elegance. A creamy, warm-toned marble serves as a bridge between the kitchen and dining areas, and it’s used as a sophisticated finish for the bookcase in the living room. The cooking hood is entirely clad in marble, flanked by Bocci wall lights that add a subtle glow, elevating the kitchen as both a functional and aesthetic focal point. Meanwhile, the central black column has been clad in natural stone, transforming it from a structural necessity into an integral part of the space’s aesthetic.
This home brings together the essence of cozy mountain living with modern sophistication, creating a sanctuary that is both welcoming and refined. It’s a space where the beauty of nature meets high-end design, making every moment feel like a retreat in the heart of the Italian Alps. We hope you enjoy and experience the warmth and elegance of this mountain haven soon!
