Swiss Chalets

Alpine or Swiss Chalets are wood-framed houses and are perfect for rural areas with uneven terrain, making them ideal for homes for mountainous regions.

A chalet-style house is a European-inspired home, known for sloping roofs, simple construction and design.

The style is characterized by:

• gabled roofs with wide eaves
• exposed construction beams, including large brackets
• decorative carving and mouldings

• large windows
• clapboard
