That you would better understand how the chalet looks like – just look at the cottages along the Leningradskoye Shosse. The chalet from the cottage according to the architectural idea does not differ almost anything – but in the interior design it is necessary to adhere to a “natural” style, choosing natural finishing materials.
Let’s take a closer look at the architectural design of the chalet:
The first wooden floor was built from bars of larch and pine, prepared in winter and dried in the summer. This technology of forest preparation contributed to good operational properties and a long service life of the shawl.
Subsequent floors, including the attic, were built from coniferous trees of massive varieties. Over time and under the influences of weather conditions, the tree acquired a dark, tarred color, and a massive roof, reminiscent of a low -set hat from afar, served as a reliable protection from wind and cold.
But despite all the “severity” of the shepherd’s life, the decoration of the chalet was given considerable attention. On the walls, both internal and external, there was a thread, the walls themselves were covered with lime. Often, mountain houses had balconies with a carved veranda.
The interior decoration of the chalet struck with its sophistication, unlike the appearance. This is not surprising, because the French even on the mountain slopes remain the French. The picturesque painting of the walls showed the brightest moments from the life of the king and France, displayed the most famous battles, and sometimes she simply signed for secular themes.
