Alpine Chalet was designed by AKB Architects as a contemporary barnlike structure located on a cul-de-sac in a private ski club development in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. This chalet was designed as a social hub for an active family of six. With 4,650 square feet of living space on the ground and second floors, a generous double height kitchen, dining and living room facing the ski hill serves as the family’s central gathering space offering extensive views and abundant natural light.
The master suite is also located on the ground floor with children’s bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor mezzanine above. The basement incorporates a large recreation room, guest bedroom with en-suite and a spa zone consisting of sauna, steam shower, powder room and change area with direct access to a hot tub deck. The home features several challenging architectural details, including a large cantilevered stone fireplace and extensive exterior copper work.
