Set within lush green surroundings on a sloping site at the edge of the town center, Chalet Sara opens toward the mountains that embrace the landscape, offering uninterrupted views of nature and conveying a constant sense of openness and connection with the surrounding environment. In this context of rare beauty, the project comprises three residences—one existing and two newly built—connected by a single-storey volume housing an indoor swimming pool, conceived as a space for connection, gathering, and relaxation.

The design reinterprets the compositional language of mountain architecture through a contemporary lens, reworking traditional aesthetic principles with current materials and construction solutions. The underground levels, built in reinforced concrete, accommodate garages and technical rooms, while the above-ground portions are constructed using prefabricated timber systems. This choice expresses a contemporary approach to alpine building: exposed timber, warm and inviting, evokes the atmosphere of traditional chalets, while prefabrication ensures construction precision, sustainability, and reduced on-site timelines.

Timber elements alternate with natural stone surfaces used for external paving and within the pool area, helping to integrate the buildings into the landscape and establish a dialogue with the materials of the place. Simple volumes, double-pitched roofs, and compact façades recall the proportions of vernacular architecture, while large glazed openings frame views of the landscape, allow natural light to filter inside, and transform the relationship between interior and exterior into a daily experience of connection with the environment.

Inside, the spaces unfold as warm and luminous environments characterized by natural materials, textured surfaces, and carefully detailed elements that create welcoming atmospheres, maintaining a balance between traditional roots and contemporary language. The indoor swimming pool, opening onto the landscape through expansive transparent surfaces, reflects the mountain peaks and the changing seasons, offering a sense of calm and visual continuity with the outdoors.

While ensuring autonomy for each dwelling, the three homes maintain a visual and emotional bond, offering a way of living that combines family closeness with respect for individual spaces. Chalet Sara thus stands as an intervention that renews and respects the memory of alpine construction, transforming living into an experience immersed in nature, enhancing spatial quality, and weaving together tradition, sustainability, and contemporary beauty.
