Chalet Hadrien
Graduating from a prestigious architecture school, architect Paul Grillo would commence, in 1938, what would become his major life’s work, devoting his talent to a region close to his heart, the Alps. He joined forces with Christian Durupt and André Detour to create a luxurious upper-end ski resort at the heart of the French Haute-Savoie region; a winter destination that would rival with German, Swiss and Austrian counterparts. Winner of the Grand Prix de Rome, Paul Grillo was one of the major protagonists in the founding of Méribel.
Grillo, Durupt and Detour decided that all constructions should respect Savoyard style, and imposed the strict use of wood, mountain stone and slate. The rule was scrupulously followed, endowing Méribel with unparalleled rustic beauty in the Tarentaise Valley, while its attraction was doubled by a gigantic ski area, totalling more than 300 pistes.
Standing at the edge of a little road, around 300 metres from ski lifts, the impressive residence is more than meets the eye. Behind its traditional façade, it hides a spa and sauna, a hammam and Jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a games room and a cinema room. But there is more than modernity alone inside these walls; the 650 m2 in surface area also hold a living room and a dining room, both crowned by a superb fireplace. Covered with ceiling beams and parquet flooring, these rooms are decorated with authentic local furniture, and extended by a southwest-facing terrace.
Wood that adorns the façade is also massively present inside the chalet. This warm material lines the walls, floors and ceilings right up to the suites, most of which come with a bathroom. The master bedroom also offers access to an adjoining balcony.
Without a doubt, Chalet Hadrien has inherited Paul Grillot’s vision and the principles he put forward that were decisive in the creation of Méribel. Principles that he would later develop, making him one of the great exponents of utopian organic architecture.
