Up a winding lane in a village nestled beneath the Swiss Alps. Climb a rustic stair and ... wow! This amazing renovation is by Christian Speck of Formzone. Lashings of rough and just enough luxe. It's sleek and minimalist modern meets stone monolith and I love it. Age old beams and so fresh you can smell it pine. I dream of a view of the alps like that. A remarkable house in a remarkable part of the world.

Beautiful work, the feeling of warmth and luxury within such a natural, exposed layout is incredibly well done. I'm like you, would love to own a space like this one day!

Definitely a guy's taste, but nicely done.
Great combination of modern, sleek materials with old, rustic features! And what a view...
Well I could happily live there
Oh my my.
Oh how beautiful!!
OMG!!! Best of both worlds! Move me in.
oh my this is really really beautiful!!
oh maaaaan! the walls, the wallsssss!!!!!!
You're right - the view is amazing! I was just watching House Hunters International a few days ago as they were looking for properties near the Tuscany region. It made me want to run away to Europe...now I see this post and I want to all the more! ;)

Great design, I love the mix of white and natural textures.
I think this is Soglio in southern Switzerland, judging by the campanile and mountains behind. This place is so much worth visiting, its lovely. My grandmothers sister lived there a few years and i grew up not far away.
Mixing nice materials with old, rustic features and some wonderful mid-century modern pieces. Thanks for posting!
Oh my gosh - simple and beautiful. And the setting in the Alps - a dream!!
Man, this feels like the perfect house if ever I become filthy rich, as well as becoming moody and reclusive, with a penchant for writing novellas, drinking coffee and smoking all day. Heart!
Not just for a guys taste but for gals too---ahh the simplicity of it all-it seems almost impossible-
Wow. I looove this so much <3
