Maison Prapohette

Design Statement
This project aims to create a modern, sustainable home that harmoniously integrates with the natural Alpine context while reflecting a contemporary lifestyle. The concept combines modern minimalism with rustic accents, emphasizing energy efficiency and eco-friendly materials such as wood, stone, and green roofs. The sloped green roofs not only blend the house into the surrounding landscape but also enhance thermal insulation and biodiversity.

Large south- and west-facing windows maximize natural light and provide panoramic mountain views, while the use of natural stone and timber cladding ensures a tactile and warm aesthetic. The layout prioritizes comfort and functionality: an open-plan living area connected to outdoor terraces, a private master suite with a walk-in closet, and a basement level designed for wine storage and a traditional tavern.

This design focuses on sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and a strong dialogue between architecture and nature, creating a welcoming and timeless mountain retreat.
