ORGANIC CONNECTION: THE CHALET“ LES DEUX CERFS” IN COURCHEVEL
An architectural experience in the French Alps: Architect Flávia Ducros- Bourdens has completely redesigned the“ Les Deux Cerfs” chalet in the middle of the Jardin Alpin forest, artfully combining architecture, interior design, and décor. The well-thought-out overall concept includes the Dornbracht classic Vaia, designed by Sieger Design.
For“ Les Deux Cerfs” in the French luxury ski resort of Courchevel, architect Flávia Ducros-Bourdens has completely reinterpreted an old Alpine chalet.
MODERN ALPINE ARCHITECTURE
“ Les Deux Cerfs” – meaning“ The Two Deer” – is in Courchevel, France, on the edge of a ski slope. For her reinterpretation of the typical mountain chalet, architect Flávia Ducros-Bourdens completely rebuilt the original building. Only the outer walls were retained, and the roof was raised to create a more open spatial structure. The result, covering 800m ², draws on traditional Alpine construction methods and complements them with contemporary accents, such as clearly structured privacy screens, high glass fronts, and a natural stone façade with star-like points of light. The rustic Alpine architecture is thus transformed into modernity without losing any of its charm and character.
A SOPHISTICATED TOTAL WORK OF ART
Inside, the entrance area offers an initial highlight: a ceiling composed of geometric mirror fragments that reflect the surrounding mountain panorama. The adjoining living and dining area is no less impressive.
