Inspired by the traditional mountain chalet, le Chalet Hoani strives to reinterpret and revisit the codes of traditional mountain architecture.It is set of small volumes of well-defined wooden chalets that are joined together on a strong base of local stone which helps to contain the unevenness of the land. The volumes are simple and largely covered by overhanging roofs that adapt to the climatic constraints of the region. These different volumes open on each gable to views of the surrounding landscape.The contrast between the local materials reinforces the unity of the volume and we can imagine that with the natural aging of the wood cladding, future subtle games of materials and light.The use and enhancement of local materials such as wood and stone in the treatment of the facades are the heart of this project.
