Design Details

Unique Properties
The beautiful thread of the history of the Mountain Chalet, which dates back to the owner's childhood, spent under the wooden veranda of his grandfather's house, is strong enough to become the driving force of the project.
Inspiration
Our approach combines effective design and impeccable functionality. Both floors and the spa area have all the characteristic elements of a mountain chalet, but at the same time luxury and timeless elegance. The logic of the individual areas is determined by the idea of the house to be a place to gather friends and guests, for relaxation and pleasure.
Research
For this project studio IDEA International was commissioned to enhance the standard vision of the client for a mountain house by incorporating a timeless aesthetic and a unique bespoke SPA experience is hidden into the details of the property.
Challenge
The vision to explore the magnificent potential through the proposed design, hoping to evoke and demonstrate how remarkably space can be utilized comes to life with the final outlook of the property. A balance between the clients' desire and the designers' vision also blends perfectly with the sophisticated architecture of the building.
Realization and Technology
The main focus of design in the project is the natural materials used in interior decor, wall fixtures, and floorings. Wood, natural semi-precious stones, and natural leather are the characters that shape the indoor luxury feel.
Operation and Interaction
The ergonomic features in the space are molded to fit the user's needs in order to create a luxurious experience.
Specifications
A 440 square meters private mountain villa.
