THE HALL
The staircase, like a modern drawbridge, allows access to the large living room. The transparent blend of metal, glass and steel elegantly complements the warm harmonies of antique woods. Pure lines create a comfort that is absolute simplicity. The overall effect is one of a neutral, modest, welcoming refinement that makes the perfect setting for works of art or original shots by renowned photographers.
THE LIVING ROOM
The impressive height beneath the beams gives the living room a feeling of airiness and space. Four sofas, in beautifully worked cut velvet, please the eye with their warm shades, from gold patina to taupe. Niches in walls built from local stone hold candles and lamps. The rug is made exclusively in the colors of Brickell, while the lamp mirrors the chandelier – both of which envelop the light with their lace-like structures. The central coffee tables feature the same taupe shades, only this time in leather – which is also woven into accessories. The fireplace, clad in Corten steel, is a unique piece designed especially for the living room.
THE DINING ROOM
The living room extends into the dining room, where pride of place is given to a custom-made table in leather, metal and chrome. A chandelier with crystal droplets hangs from above, majestic and mysterious. As it catches and reflects the rays of the sun, it shines with a magnificent radiance. The cutlery on the table has been plated with fine gold exclusively for Brickell. The plates and glasses have been made by the most prestigious French factories. Around the table stand high-backed chairs in wood overlaid with fine gold with a patina finish. The crystal chandelier creates a halo of light above the table. Further away, the glass candlesticks seem to merge into the surroundings. A porthole-style window, which opens onto the kitchen, allows for easy communication with the chef.
THE BAR
Like everywhere else in the chalet, every element of the décor has been custom designed, including the tall chairs in silver metal and the gently curved bar, like a large comma that sits in the space. The top of the counter is made from glass. Irresistibly, the eyes are drawn to the large picture window and its unique, panoramic view over the centre of Megève and its famous bell tower.
THE KITCHEN
Imperator marble from Spain, chrome-plated surfaces and taupe-colored, lacquered vertical facades decorate innovative kitchen equipment. Functionality is the essence in this room, where all elements come together in a perfectly mastered harmony.
THE CELLAR
In the wine cellar, the ham-slicing machine is dressed in gold, like a prima donna. Vintage wines, from the best years, are displayed on illuminated shelves. Almost 600 bottles can be stored here.
MASTER BEDROOM
Meticulously executed finishing touches and exquisite attention to detail make this space a true haven of well-being. The master bedroom owes its beauty to the skills of Italian craftsmen, specialized in the construction of yachts. Walls made of wood meet an oak floor covered with thick rugs, while shagreen leather frames the doorway. Cut-velvet panels line the wall and ceiling, like a canopy above the bed, which is covered with a fur bedspread. Heavy drapes and an enveloping easy chair create a cozy reading corner. Here, you feel cocooned. Taupe leathers adorn the easy chair and leather-covered sliding doors open onto the marble bathroom, where two identical Japanese-style shower rooms face each other.
THE MASTER BATHROOM
Warm and cold light create different atmospheres in the bathroom, which is custom carved in imperator marble. Traditional lighting and LEDs come together in a luminous balance based on a palette of yellow and blue. Generously spacious, the bathroom crafted in imperator marble has a magical décor, like something out of a film. And here, it’s so easy to feel like a star.
THE GOLDEN BEDROOM
Antique wood and a Fortuny-inspired pleated headboard set the tone in the room with gold-colored quilted curtains. Like a plush bedspread, a large fur blanket covers the bed, which is fitted with sheets with touches of gold – for a gold room.
THE WHITE BEDROOM
Leather-paneled walls match the headboard, in shades of taupe that accentuate the whiteness of the bed linens and accessories. Fur adds a touch of warmth.
THE GUEST HOUSE
Perfectly independent yet comfortably close, the guest house can be reached via the illuminated track in the very chic garage. The two twin bedrooms face each other across the main living room, which connects with all the rooms of the house. Materials and colors, with an animal or mineral feel, create a warm cocooning atmosphere.
THE SWIMMING POOL
The indoor pool looks onto the garden and benefits from the natural light. To protect privacy, custom-made curtains can be drawn across the large windows – a little like the Hollywood of the fifties. Bed loungers, along with a teak floor like the deck of a yacht, give the feel of a relaxing cruise.
THE SKI ROOM
Skis, shoes, clothing, accessories. There’s a specific place to hold everything in this ultra-functional space worthy of champions!
THE NIGHT CLUB & HOME CINEMA
The night club, as well as the home cinema and its large screen, have been installed to the highest professional standards and make use of the very latest technical developments. Dancers can enjoy an LED lighting system created by a specialist who provides the lighting solutions for discotheques throughout the world.

The floor has a granular surface, the central axis features the colors of Brickell, while the walls display the fastest and most famous racing drivers, with Steve McQueen in top position.
THE TERRACES
The teak terrace, against a backdrop of snow, is the perfect place to relax in the sun. White sets the inside-outside tone and gives a warm comfort to an open-air relaxation area. Custom-made sun loungers, for moments of leisure, adopt a deck-chair look with high-quality yacht-style details.
