Descrizione Progetto

Hello, great day.

This style of chalet, a peculiar fusion of a home and a mountain goods store, has turned the seemingly empty space into a meta-sign, a mixture of symbolic figures, efficient functionality, and thermal control. A blend of rusticity and postmodernism. A stroll through a multifaceted space that promises atmospheres that will evoke positive emotions in everyone.

The entrance is a type of tunnel composed of arches. As can be seen in the renderings, the original column was removed and replaced with two columns, well hidden within the arch. The arch does not touch the lower part of the ceiling, thus allowing for the transmission of heat and a uniform temperature throughout the space. An effort was made to maintain a clear line between the commercial and the domestic, emphasizing the homely feel of a cozy living room and a kitchen that allows guests to be served quickly, whether with drinks or food. The living room was placed next to the fireplace, in front of the window, leaving a free space in front of the fireplace, which encourages socializing in both areas, while also allowing you to watch television. The shop area has six arched windows surrounding it. Personally, I thought it was important to place some vegetation in this area, as I like to place vegetation where there is ironwork, but I didn't want to take up space in the shop, so I placed a small hanging garden (it can be artificial vegetation) with lighting included, which gives the space a touch of postmodernity and freshness, which, in combination with the deer antlers on the lamp, gives us a feeling of wildlife.

The Turkish bath was covered with blue Talavera tiles, giving it a mesmerizing and relaxing appearance. A beautiful arched facade was designed for it.

The bathroom is divided into two areas. Upon entering, you will find the sink and, behind a sliding door, the washing area. Then, when you open the next door, you will find the toilet and the shower with hydromassage. Everything is covered in beige quarry stone and waterproof sections of medium-sized beige stone-look ceramic tiles.

I hope you like it.
