This beautiful French chalet designed by Chevallier Architectes sits atop a mountain in Les Houches and has environmentally friendly components in its design.
The chalet is the perfect fusion of modern and natural elements -- with large floor-to-ceiling windows that contrast with the house's wooden floors, walls and exterior. The house has spectacular views that are taken advantage of with those large windows, with the designers ensuring that even a person taking a bath can still enjoy the views of the surrounding houses and mountains. The environmentally friendly aspects of this French chalet include a green-roof and "high-performance insulating solutions."
With an enormous deck overlooking the spectacular views -- as well as a submerged hot tub -- this lovely mountaintop chalet brings the words 'dream home' to mind.
