Two years after the overwhelming success of Contemporary Living in the Mountains: Ten new mountain chalets in a timeless and contemporary style, Beta-Plus publishes this new book that focuses completely on seven projects of leading interior designers in the Swiss and French Alps. Just like the previous edition, respect for authenticity and traditional craftsmanship go hand in hand with ultimate living comfort and an often surprising contemporary design. When thumbing through this book, the overwhelming nature of the Alps obviously shows its influence on the architecture and design of these dream chalets: they are actually ports of refuge from our hectic civilization, havens of peace amid idyllic mountain scenery.

This volume includes designers Alexandra de Pfyffer, Tamara Sessa and AM Projects in locations such as Gstaad, Rougemont and Megeve.
