12 The architecture has achieved a sympathetic harmony between the local, traditional construction methods and a clear and open room plan
ARCHITECTURE Architecture is much more complex than just the design of the outer shell of a building. It invol- ves the careful consideration of many factors, including content, structure, integration in the surroundings and construction. It is the science of building – in this case, building in the mountains. In Grindelwald, only traditional wooden chalets are permitted. The façades must be structured and proportioned accordingly and the roofs must have sufficient overhang. However, good architecture is not achieved just by following these building regulati- on specifications: form, substance and appearance must also harmonise as a unit. In this particular case, the challenge was to make the structure of the chalets visible inside the building, while still giving the rooms a modern, contemporary and open feeling. And, of course, it goes without saying that the spectacular views of the surrounding landscape were of primary impor- tance in the orientation and design of the rooms. A well-known architectural office was selected for the planning of the houses: an attractive façade is not the only criterion – every detail of the building must be of the highest quality. The architects have successfully created a clear, simple and modern space that conforms to the simple architecture of the traditional timber construction, but is still contemporary. GENERAL Chalet Fieschergletscher is built over three levels and Chalet Wetterhorn over four. Both houses dis- play the typical façades of traditional Grindelwald chalets. Thanks to the gable end ‘benefits’ – the spacious balconies and terraces and the classic latticed win- dows – these houses radiate unparalleled security and cosiness. This feeling is continued within the houses where many traditional details can be found, such as the sloping ceilings that make the upper bedrooms so comfortable.
