Very interesting article showing the importance of thinking about everyone's use of a space when designing

Fed up living in a world designed by and for men, 80s design activists Matrix declared war on every urban obstacle in their way. And their impact is still being felt today

A great video reminding us there's more to winter here in the mountains than downhill skiing!

Kind words from one of our clients:
"We engaged the AlpStudio team to help us understand the options for renovating a house we were looking to purchase in Samoëns. From first contact to final bill I was very impressed with them – they really listened to our brief, helping to coax out the needs vs wants for our renovation. They gave us a clear scope of work, and subsequently delivered an extremely useful and clear report of the options proposed. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a Concept Design Report for a renovation project in the region"

Our client asked us to illustrate ideas for converting and/or extending an existing mazot. The aim was to create extra habitable space, open plan living, and outdoor spaces. Which of the three options do you prefer?

An intricate brief to increase usable space, reconfigure the internal layout, and create inside/outside space. The detail design process of this chalet in Chamonix was complicated by the proximity of the river and so was subject to tight restrictions on ground floor openings. Our design solution created increased headroom on the top floor by raising the roofline and incorporating a balcony and increased glazing to enjoy the views. We are now at tendering stage and are excited about seeing this design come to life.

We create visuals that help our clients imagine their future mountain home - an existing ski chalet is extended to produce a light new family space - How would you re-imagine yours?

One of our projects moved from paper to ground last week. We called in to see the first stage taking shape...

Surprisingly the site was marked out but deserted. Just the ground works director was present. He explained that the team were too exhausted to work that day, because on their first day on site, the truck transporting the 25 tonne digger had broken down at the bottom of the mountain. Such was their commitment to break ground, they decided to drive the digger up. As the caterpillar tracks would damage the road, they placed four tyres on the ground in front of each track, and then gradually inched the digger forward. Stopped, picked them up and did it all over again for 200m of vertical ascent. It took four men, four hours. Pretty impressive in 25 degrees heat.
