Inspired by the term aperture, the architects aimed to preserved the authentic architectural heritage of the house, and modernize it at the same time by maximize the surface of the windows. Thus provide unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.

Indeed, the architect completes the project based on two assets. The first is close consultation with an exceptional client, as expected. Then, the second is the pride of extending the project of his grandfather. While preserve an authentic architectural heritage that is currently no longer feasible, as in the case of a house with a pitched roof.

Located in Chamonix Mont Blanc, France, the house features a remarkably large picture window that looks over the surrounding area. Once insides, the living areas such as living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom designed delicately and meticulously. A modern heat pump, airconditioning, LED lighting, and leather and brass fittings brings the house up to date functionally. While retaining traditional elements like the pitched roof and bay windows framing the spectacular views of Chamonix Mont Blanc.

Aperture House, a stunning renovation in France by Chevallier Architectes — The large black framed window not only provides spectacular views, but also acts as a contrasting element against the wood siding on the exterior of the Aperture House.

Also, the balcony opens up to an alfresco dining area with stairs leading down to the patio below.

From inside the Aperture House, the large window perfectly frames the view of the neighboring houses, as well as the trees and nearby mountains.

Adjacent to the dining room is a bar area with large windows and a dark accent wall that allows the TV to somewhat blend into the background.

In one of the bedrooms, large picture windows have been used to create a corner window, while the window ledge acts as a bench for relaxing.

The home also includes a library that has plenty of shelving, a fireplace, and a sliding glass door that opens to the patio.

In one of the bathrooms, there’s an accent wall with a vertical design.

Description: The project is a meeting, a consultation between architect and client; a client himself involved in construction and holding a vigorous viewpoint. The latter is committed from the start to being the ideal client, and he endeavors to demonstrate his availability, reliability, investment and, of course, his high standards. It was a robust consultation with sustained commitments
