Village Centre – Aravis Mountain Range

This diversity of uses contributes to the vibrancy of the village centre, creating new spaces for social interaction and gathering, designed for both residents and visitors. Active ground floors, opening onto public spaces, enhance the attractiveness of the site and integrate the project into the everyday life of the resort throughout the seasons.From an architectural perspective, the project offers a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Alpine architecture. The building volumes echo the distinctive silhouettes of mountain chalets, while the use of timber and stone establishes a dialogue with the existing built environment. The variation in building heights and volumes, pitched roofs, and façade treatments creates a coherent architectural ensemble that respects the scale of the village and its natural surroundings.Through this transformation, the project aims to redefine the identity of La Clusaz’s entrance and create a vibrant, welcoming urban environment deeply rooted in its surroundings. It brings together tourism development, quality of experience, and the preservation of Alpine identity, through an approach that carefully considers the architectural heritage and landscapes that define the resort.
