Sheltering an itinerant family of four with roots in the east and west, chalet nê celebrates and encapsulates the warmth, sense of community, and artistry of east asian mountain cultures from its perch in the french alps.

A steep cascade of pitched roofs topped with local larch wood shingles recall the peaks of the alps and himalayas, while ancestral stone wall patterns and intricate carpentry define the stalwart walls upholding the cavernous roofs. Door frame entrances and balustrade carvings pay homage to the drukgyel dzong monastery in Bhutan, complemented by the la chaux plaster tempering the grain of the space’s reclaimed wood panels.
