Blue Moon is a 2023 project created for a private client connected to Hermès Luxembourg. Located in Gstaad, Switzerland, the chalet replaces an old family farmhouse that was carefully dismantled and transformed into a contemporary mountain residence. Almost every element of the original structure was catalogued and reused in the new build, extending the studio’s manifesto of reuse, transformation, and artisanal collaboration. The result is a chalet that merges sobriety and comfort with understated luxury, achieved through uncompromising material integrity and craft. Spread across three levels, the chalet contains five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema, ski room, wine cellar, spa, and a vast main living room with open fireplace and kitchen. The design was led internally by Lionel Jadot and Louise Michiels, who stayed true to the studio’s philosophy of rejecting mass production in favor of bespoke designs, collectible pieces, and locally sourced vintage finds. Every detail was considered and many elements were tailor-made, creating a dialogue between architecture, lifestyle, and the Alpine setting. The chalet becomes a living collage of histories, textures, and materials. Wood from the dismantled farmhouse was reincorporated into cabinetry, walls, and exterior details, while vintage Hermès fabrics were revived in beds and upholstery. The interiors are enriched by a constellation of designers and makers. Thomas Serruys created tables, Vladimir Slavov contributed Catan lighting swords, Lila Farget designed a bespoke lamp for the kitchen, Roxane Lahidji crafted ceiling lamps, and our studio produced custom bedroom lamps and furniture pieces. Curtains came from Home Sails, Carine Boxy worked on the cinema ceiling, KRJST created a living room tapestry, and Tom Lom designed striped carpets for the bedrooms. Vintage furniture sourced locally was also layered throughout the spaces, strengthening the dialogue between past and present. This project embodies the manifesto of our studio. Materials are reused and transformed, carrying memory into new forms. Artisans and designers collaborate as equals in a horizontal creative process. Collectibility and individuality are favoured over mass production, with bespoke and signed pieces that celebrate craft and innovation. Context and memory are embedded into each room, layering history with contemporary comfort. The design remains human-centric, privileging sensory richness and lived experience. In Blue Moon, these principles converge to create a chalet that is poetic, functional, and sustainable, a home that tells stories, preserves memory, and redefines what it means to inhabit architecture today.
