This book, by internationally acclaimed architecture writer Philip Jodidio, examines the myriad forms of the modern chalet. More than just the traditional abode for the traditional Swiss alpine lifestyle or the kitsch restaurant or retail complex, many architects have re-invigorated the chalet to respond to modern aesthetic and sustainability requirements. This book looks at chalets built to respond not only to the mountain environment, but also seaside and urban environments, many even providing multi-family accommodation in superb locations across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Includes outstanding colour photography , elevations and many plans.
