An Odd Mix: Swiss Wood Carver's Chalet with Modern Interiors


     Designer Daniel Truffer had his work cut out for him. When he initially took on this project, there was an endless list of issues that had to be address. This list included, rain leaks throughout the chalet and a staircase that connected the floors that was OUTSIDE.  Even with issues like those, you can't look past the fact that the bones of the chalet are nothing short of charming, unique, and romantic even. Despite the ornate wood carving details throughout the space, it somehow still reads very modern. In an effort to not distract from the wonderful detail throughout the space, Truffer opted for a spacious and open floor plan. Modern furniture was the perfect choice for the chalet - it gives the place a great point of contrast and at the same time gives it a great clean palette to highlight the wood carvings.





     The only downfall I think is lighting. Where is it? (haha) Would love to see what kind of lighting Truffer ended up using. :D
