Renovation chalet Champery
The chalet is dated from 1964 and is used as a holiday house. As most of the chalet was still in its original state, the owners asked us to redesign the two bathrooms, hallway and living room. They also wanted advice to update the kitchen and make a light plan for the chalet.They wanted to keep the Swiss chalet feeling but transform it into a more luxurious and contemporary look. They needed a practical house, suitable for a family with two kids, easy to maintain and more storage.

Hallway and staircase renovation and design
In our design, we kept the original staircase but closed the beginning. Under the stairs, we designed a storage room with a flush-fitting door and drawer for shoes. The white wall is open from above so that it still looks spacious. We choose big, light beige/grey tiles with a natural look for the floor. The tiles are practical with the snow in the winter, and the soft natural look gives the hallway a relaxed ambience.

Bathroom designs
The assignment was to create two contemporary light bathrooms with a little bit of a chalet feeling and with more storage space.
To save costs, we kept all sanitary facilities in the same place as much as possible. As both bathrooms are not very big, we have designed the bathrooms to appear more prominent. We choose large tiles to open up the space. Fewer grout lines give the illusion of a bigger space. Niches were added to save space and to create depth. The floating cupboards and hanging toilets show more of the floor, opening up the room. The led lights in the niches and the indirect light of the mirror create a contemporary and cosy atmosphere.

Contract documents and technical drawings
We have placed all the orders for both bathrooms and arranged all the deliveries. In addition, we provided a technical description and technical drawings, which were guidelines for the actual construction. All the materials were described in these documents, as well as all the tasks for the contractor and the installers. In addition, the document and the drawings laid the foundation for the contract between the client and the contractor.
