This Mountaintop Home in Switzerland Is a Modern Take on a Classic Alpine Chalet
You don't need a massive plot of land or over-the-top design to make a powerful statement in real estate—especially not in the Swiss Alps. This boxy, three-story home and its detached carport cut striking figures among the dense greenery of the Alpine landscape during the summer and the glimmering white snow during winter. The dark-stained larch wood siding will only get darker over time through exposure to the elements, while the steep pitch of the solar-equipped standing seam metal roof helps keep snow from piling up and wood slats over some windows offer privacy while maintaining the views from inside.

Drawing inspiration from the shape of traditional chalets, the residence has been rethought with an open floor plan, vast picture windows, and clean-lined midcentury-inspired furnishings. Constructed over just 10 months, Montalba worked with a local builder to complete the property. All of the millwork, including the angular staircase, was also done in collaboration with local carpenters and cabinet makers. Many of the furnishings came from Switzerland as well, with additional pieces curated from throughout Europe and California. RELATED: A London-Based Designer Brought Italian Style to This Pint-Sized Apartment in the Swiss Alps It's a style of sourcing that mirrors the other work of Montalba, an international firm with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Lausanne. The company was founded back in 2004 by the Swiss-American architect David Montalba, and it draws on Swiss precision and California Modernism to create properties that evoke both styles. Modest in size at just 2,600 square feet, the Alpine abode takes advantage of lighter woods and neutral tones that contrast with the dark, moodier exterior. The main living spaces are on the middle floor and include a living room with a Nero Marquina marble fireplace and a cozy Ligne Roset sofa and armchairs. In the dining area, the tables is from Moyard, and the light-filled kitchen opens to a small patio on the home's east side. The top floor is largely for sleeping. The primary suite has a covered balcony and private bath, and two guest rooms share an additional bathroom with a shower sheathed in the same marble used on the downstairs fireplace. The lowest level, which is embedded into the mountainside, has a studio space with a separate entrance, as well as a small sauna and storage of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

These furniture trends will define elite homes in 2025, prepare to be obsessed
Luxury furniture in 2025 is all about timeless craftsmanship, rich materiality and contemporary expression. In 2025, luxury is not just about aesthetics; it is about authenticity, craftsmanship and a deep connection to the materials and techniques that shape our home interiors or living spaces. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Roheena Nagpal, Principal Designer at Rvvardé, shared that each piece tells a story—one of heritage, passion and a commitment to excellence. She revealed, 'Expect a resurgence of artisanal woodworking, where heritage techniques meet modern silhouettes. Hand-carved details, organic textures and a play of light and shadow will define statement pieces, making them more than just functional elements—they'll be works of art.' According to Roheena Nagpal, material innovation is key, with an emphasis on responsibly sourced solid wood, intricate metal inlays and hand-applied finishes that celebrate natural imperfections. She suggested, 'Rich, earthy palettes—deep walnuts, charred blacks, and muted golds—will bring warmth and depth to spaces. Sculptural forms will take center stage, favoring fluidity over rigid structures, while handcrafted joinery ensures longevity and uniqueness.' Bringing her expertise to the same, Deepika Goyal, Founder of Popcorn Atelier, opined, 'Luxury furniture in 2025 is defined by the elegance of metal, marble and wood, with a focus on craftsmanship and statement designs. Sculptural metal furniture in antique brass, brushed gold and polished chrome is making a bold impact, bringing sophistication and shine to interiors.' She pointed out, 'Marble remains a timeless choice, with richly veined varieties like Calacatta and Nero Marquina being used for coffee tables, dining surfaces, and console tables, adding an air of opulence. Wood, especially in dark, richly grained finishes like walnut and ebony, is taking center stage in bespoke cabinetry, statement chairs, and artisanal dining tables.' The expert concluded, 'Customisation is key, with intricate metal inlays and sculpted wooden forms elevating the aesthetic. Expect to see a blend of these luxurious materials in furniture that is both artistic and functional, where sleek metallic accents complement the natural beauty of marble and the warmth of finely crafted wood.'
