Alpine View Chalet

The Alpine View Chalet is a luxury, site-responsive mountain home designed for sloped lots and four-season alpine climates. Created by Showvaker Residential Design, it blends rustic architecture with modern comfort and builder-ready detailing for challenging terrain.

If you’re building in Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, or similar mountain regions, this design shows how thoughtful planning protects your investment and improves day-to-day livability. Steep rooflines and natural materials support durability in snow and wind, while elevated decks capture panoramic views and strengthen the indoor-outdoor experience.

Inside, the layout follows the slope naturally with high ceilings, expansive windows, and warm timber-and-stone character. Performance features support comfort year-round, and passive solar principles may be incorporated when site conditions allow. Aging-in-place planning can also be integrated subtly so the home supports long-term living.

The Alpine View Chalet is an example of how custom mountain home design can turn a complex site into a comfortable, timeless retreat.
