Whitepod Éco-Chalets in the Swiss Alps

2 Oct 2020

Whitepod Éco-Chalets

Design: Montalba Architects

Location: Monthey, Switzerland

Nestled in the Swiss Alps above Monthey, Switzerland, Whitepod Éco-Chalets coexist with the mountainside, creating a hospitality experience that preserves and cherishes its surrounding environment. Designed with groups and families in mind, the minimalist chalets are ideal for those looking to escape to the mountains with all the comforts and conveniences of a home.

The structures are made entirely with Swiss materials and products, including larch wood-paneled exterior and interior millwork by a local fabricator. These materials create a seamless transition between the structures and the surrounding mountains, while also evoking the design of a traditional Swiss chalet.

The accommodations are divided into “night” and “day”, with the night area composed of three bedrooms situated on one side, and the daypart including the entrance, dining room, and living room on the other end. Currently, nine of the 21 chalets are expected to be completed by December 2020, with bookings now available.
