Two Chalets for sale

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 const-
ruction, 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.
