This stunning eco-friendly, energy efficient and sustainable family home was recently built to the owners exacting standards in a futuristic design based on a contemporary twist on the chalet-style properties commonly seen around European ski-resorts.
Several architectural features have been incorporated including feature roof windows and raked head gable glazing enhanced by the inclusion of French sliding door/s allowing for a modern indoor/outdoor feel.
The main entrance leads into a central hallway connecting to a series of thoughtfully designed living spaces the most impressive being the open-plan dining area and kitchen. High-quality materials and finishes have been selected with meticulous attention to detail, all perfectly in keeping with the architectural design of the building. A bank of full-height glazing invites a wonderful quality of natural light into the stunning interior.
Clean lines of joinery direct the layout of the contemporary kitchen, where appliances are neatly housed within bespoke cabinetry and a central island provides an inviting sociable space for sharing food and drinks.
Beyond this the living room has been carefully orientated to attract the warmth of the southerly light. On the opposite side of the ground floor is a snug kitted out with a high-spec home cinema system.
The first-floor level is no less impressive. The wide upper walkway, connecting to the three bedrooms, extraordinarily light, thanks to skylights and a large picture window framing the outdoor space and equestrian facilities.
