Scandinavian Inspiration

The beauty of this type of design is how well it fits into the surrounding landscape. The use of natural wood finishes in construction and interior mill work, the large window spanses, the concrete and monochromatic colour palette all contribute to making this minimalist space feel bright, airy and  inviting. In the above the monochromatic scheme is based on the yellow wood and carried out in different subtleties in combination with white.

Fjall, was a collaborative design effort between Hecker Guthrie and Salter Architects. It was a complete refurbishment of a 1960’s chalet into a  Scandinavian inspired apartments complete with ski in/out access.
In this design we continue to see the heavy use of natural wood finishes, stone and monochromatic colour palette which all contribute to a light airy feel. In the above; the monochromatic scheme has a cool brown base with varying shades of white and touches of black. This scheme captures a crisp winter ski day perfectly.
