The study proposes removing incoherent additions to reveal the thick walls, deep window reveals and existing roof structure.

01 / The starting point
A place to understand.
Uses to question.
The building occupied a remarkable setting, but successive renovations had erased its coherence. Bedrooms were small, bathrooms dated and the reception lacked presence.
02 / The intention
What the proposal
seeks to resolve.
Explore the renovation of bedrooms and shared spaces, improve operational flows and build an identity that stands apart without turning its Alpine context into a theme.

03 / The design direction
An atmosphere conceived
as a continuous thread.
Matt stone, brushed larch, dense wool and landscape colours form a common language. Each bedroom offers a variation, while the ground floor gathers reception, lounge and breakfast around a hearth.
04 / The design decisions
Precise choices,
connected to a use.
Every choice responds to the starting point and shows how KAMILI connects layout, use, light and materials.
Rethink operations
The proposal brings linen storage, pantry and service routes closer together to reduce journeys without crossing moments of welcome.
Create a family of rooms
A shared design for headboards, lighting and storage is adapted to each volume and each view.
Prepare for complexity
The proposed method includes a prototype room, budget approvals and phasing agreed with contractors before implementation.
05 / Initial state & proposal
Compare the starting point
with KAMILI’s intention.
These visualisations form part of a spatial study. They develop an initial state and a design proposal; they do not document a completed project.
06 / The intended quality
A clearer response,
in use and atmosphere.
The proposal aims for a continuous identity, perceptible from the threshold. Bedrooms would gain comfort and storage, while the new organisation would shorten service routes.
Nature of the study
Spatial studyAn independent study developed by KAMILI to present a design process and point of view. It does not document a completed project.Designer’s note
“We sought a generous hospitality that feels neither like mountain décor nor an overly precious home. The place simply needed to make guests want to stay.”
