Step Inside a Ski-Chalet Home Blending Traditional Modern Design with Architect Andrew Slade

Step inside this ski-chalet-inspired home in the Blue Mountains as architect Andrew Slade walks through the vision, inspiration, and craftsmanship behind the project. Guided by a client-driven design approach, Andrew explains how the team blended traditional alpine elements, such as a gabled roof and heavy timber trusses, with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Equally important to the architectural expression is the chalet’s commitment to modern performance. The project embraces forward-thinking building practices, including passive solar orientation and a high-performance building envelope. From the beginning, material selection played a defining role. Andrew discusses how Northern Wide Plank (NWP) flooring became the foundation of the project, inspiring a cohesive palette that extends through the custom stair treads, nosing, and integrated vents.
