The Swiss chalet seems to be carved in the middle of a sea of \u200b\u200btrees and snow-capped mountains.  The cozy retreat offers a modern twist on the traditional chalet design with concrete bumpers that protect one side of the house from the elements, while the other side is a series of large glass panels.  The wall of the windows features self-heating glass to keep them free of snow and ice so they don&#8217;t disturb the scenic views.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-470893\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2-810x1105.jpg\" alt=\"Entrance corridor with green vegetable wall and glass skylights\" width=\"810\" height=\"1105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2-810x1105.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2-800x1092.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2-768x1048.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2-1126x1536.jpg 1126w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-2.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The architect uses innovative materials and techniques to design an eco-friendly Swiss chalet.  Convection heating maintains a constant inside temperature of 24\u00b0C (about 75\u00b0F) with little use of energy.  Additional steps taken during the construction process were anti-freeze roofs, a recycled water tank, and an exposed foundation that prevents moisture from rising off the ground.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-470894\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-3-810x608.jpg\" alt=\"Modern living space with high ceilings for the living room and kitchen with glass wall\" width=\"810\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-3-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2022\/01\/Verbier-Chalet-Switzerland-LS-Design-3.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The ground floor has an open floor plan that includes the kitchen, dining room and living room.
