Having been appointed to undertake the refurbishment of a 6-bedroom chalet in Gstaad, Bernerd and her team were invited back to complete the full interior architecture and design for a 3,800 square foot extension. The chalet now boasts a spa and hammam, cinema room, eight guest suites and study.

Continuing the narrative of the existing building, Bernerd created a warm and inviting space with a focus on natural materials and luxury furniture and art pieces. Seamlessly connecting the existing building with the extension, local antique timber panels line the lobby and connecting hallways while slate, wool and sheepskin were layered to add comfort to the individual rooms.
