With widely-overhanging eaves, low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters and corbelled or curved exterior braces, these two-story Swiss and alpine-inspired designs are a natural choice for a site with steep slopes. Historically and traditionally, the classic chalet was square-shaped and had either whitewashed plaster or stucco for the first floor exterior, while the second floor was wood-sided.
The Classic Chalet offers open first-floor common spaces with second floor sleeping, central plans—the perfect home in the hills for an active family.
