About this title

Synopsis

Explore Swiss chalet design through plans, photos, and expert notes.

This book offers a minute analysis and reproduction of the chalets of Switzerland, drawn from a special visit to the country and its architects. Richly illustrated with plans and photographs, it reveals how the classic chalet is built, ornamented, and adapted.

Two early chapters introduce the core ideas of chalet construction, from the skeleton of the building to the way balconies and gables shape its character. Later sections show how the design travels beyond Switzerland, with American adaptations and examples from the Pacific coast, all grounded in practical detail.

In-depth looks at the chalet skeleton, framing, and essential construction elements.
Detailed treatment of balcony and gable design, plus doors and windows.
Illustrated interior planning, furniture, and decorative schemes.
Case studies of adaptations in other countries, including American homes.

Ideal for readers building or renovating a house, or anyone drawn to the timeless charm of Alpine architecture.
