Set in the heart of the Alps, the Alpine Log Cabin is a striking example of how KM Architecture & Design seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern alpine living. This thoughtfully renovated mountain home preserves the soul of its original architecture, retaining authentic timber frames and rustic stonework that speak to its heritage. At the same time, it introduces bold contemporary elements—such as expansive glass gables and a central atrium—that flood the interior with natural light and forge a strong visual connection to the surrounding alpine landscape.


Inside, the design carefully balances natural textures with clean, modern lines to create a serene yet sophisticated environment. Reclaimed wood, natural stone, and soft grey finishes come together in perfect harmony, enhancing the open-plan layout and reinforcing a feeling of lightness and flow. A floating mezzanine adds architectural interest, while custom joinery brings warmth and craftsmanship into every corner of the home. These tactile materials, paired with a neutral colour palette, create an inviting interior rooted in both tradition and contemporary style.








Every design detail in the Alpine Log Cabin reflects KM Architecture & Design’s commitment to both beauty and functionality. Features such as slope-facing balconies, underfloor heating, and carefully zoned living areas elevate everyday comfort while supporting a relaxed, luxury mountain lifestyle. These elements are designed not only for visual appeal but also for energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. The result is a chalet that feels timeless, effortlessly refined, and deeply connected to its natural setting. KM Architecture & Design has transformed this alpine retreat into a modern sanctuary—one that respects the past while fully embracing the needs and aesthetics of contemporary mountain living.
