More trees never hurt: a luxurious mountain chalet in Colorado

A typical mountain chalet is a stone-wood cabin in the mountains with a rather restrained design, but not this cottage in Vail, Colorado, USA. Here you can not only stay for a ski weekend but also host a high-society event. The interior features abundant wood, but not the light tones seen in Scandinavian homes—instead, it uses rich, cognac-like shades of premium wood species. Wood is used not only for traditional floors and ceilings but also for walls, shelves, and windows. The most grand space is the living room with two rows of windows and a library on the second level. Equally impressive is the fireplace room with sculptures and artwork. On the second floor, in contrast, light cream tones dominate, promoting relaxation and rest. An interesting project that combines luxury with authentic mountain chalet elements!
