This stunning timber frame mountain chalet was designed by Manolakas Designs and built by Elk River Mountain Homes, located in East Kootenay, a regional district in British Columbia, Canada. Interior living spaces are a showcase of superb finishes and finer details, courtesy of Kevin Gray Interiors who has made this project come to life with the different layers of opportunity a timber frame design provides.
Encompassing 6,225 square feet of living space, this chalet is split over two levels. The main level has 3,600 square feet with a vaulted great room leading out to a covered deck and hot tub. The kitchen and dining area provides a beautiful setting when the weather doesn’t allow you to use the outdoor lounge and dedicated BBQ area. The main floor also has an office, sauna, bunk room, guest suite, and rec room.
The upper level encompasses 2,625 square feet, spread out over two separate wings with a timber frame bridge that spans the vaulted great room. The left-wing has three bedrooms and the right has the master bedroom and ensuite along with a yoga room, library and media room.
Canadian Timberframes also worked on this project, as they are a manufacturer of wall systems, roof enclosure systems, wood ceiling liners, and wall finishes, exterior siding and trim packages, stairs, and decking. They deliver anywhere worldwide!
What We Love: This exquisite timber frame mountain chalet offers warm and inviting living spaces for relaxation and comfort. Large windows capture incredible views of the breathtaking forests and rugged mountains that surround this home. We are especially loving the soaring ceilings of the great room and floor-to-ceiling fireplace, what a fantastic spot to lounge with family and friends!
