Post-and-beam timber home in Chaumont, Haute-Savoie (74) — 135 sq m + annex.
Nestled in the rolling alpine countryside of Chaumont, near the Swiss-Geneva border, this bespoke contemporary timber residence embodies the art of sustainable living in harmony with nature. Delivering 135 sq m (1,450 sq ft) of refined living space complemented by an architectural annex, it offers a sun-drenched, warm, and distinctly modern sanctuary.
The ground floor centers around an expansive open-concept great room, combining an artisanal kitchen, a dining area, and a living lounge flooded with natural daylight through oversized south-facing sliding glass doors. A dedicated home office, guest restroom, functional pantry, and multi-faceted glass apertures reinforce an effortless connection between indoor luxury and outdoor serenity.
Upstairs, the home hosts three generous family bedrooms, a spa-like bathroom, a separate restroom, and an open mezzanine overlooking the cathedral living area below. This dramatic double-height volume showcases the exposed solid timber post-and-beam framework—the hallmark architectural signature of Vision Bois.
