- Preliminary draft (APS): a preliminary design, which may include layout plans, sketches, moodboards…
- Adjustments, made based on the client’s feedback, in order to achieve a final vision that meets their expectations.
- The final draft (APD) details the latest changes. This can go as far as the choice of materials, finishes, flooring, wall coverings, lighting, furniture and accessories.
- The preparation of documents necessary for the implementation of the project, such as execution plans, estimates, technical specifications, elevations and construction details. These documents serve as a reference for craftsmen and contractors.

The qualities that we like to highlight:

They excel in exchanges, both rigorous and friendly, which allow us to understand their expectations, tastes, constraints. An essential step in the establishment of a clear vision of the project!
A style all your own and a unique ambience
Agence Amevet designs and furnishes chalets that look like you, starting from the style that touches you the most.
- “Traditional”, with “raw” elements, natural materials, characteristic architectural details such as exposed beams, small-paned windows and sloping roofs.
- “Contemporary”, with clean lines, panoramic windows to maximize mountain views and avant-garde design touches.
- “Prestige”, with high-end finishes, refined materials, open and bright spaces, elegant furniture… inspired by the lifestyle of high-end resorts, such as Megève or Courchevel.
- “Scandinavian”, guided by Nordic design, its minimalist aesthetics, its hygge philosophy…
In all styles and blends of styles, we know how to adapt your project to the constraints and opportunities generally offered or imposed by chalets. Maximization of mountain views, thermal insulation management, choice of aesthetic and adapted materials, integration of comfort and relaxation elements, installation of storage rooms for sports equipment, or equipment dedicated to a convivial recovery such as sauna or jacuzzi…
Without forgetting the optimization of spaces, which must combine functionality and aesthetics by valuing every square centimeter, as a chalet, as well as a resort apartment, generally has a limited floor space.
FAQ
How much do interior designers charge?
Remuneration can be based on a percentage of the overall budget. We also offer remuneration based on time spent, which we evaluate before embarking on the project. Time spent includes meetings with the customer, research, design, planning and coordination with other professionals, such as engineering consultants. Supervision of the work, if the agency is entrusted with project management assistance (AMO), is the subject of a detailed estimate. In the specific field of furniture and decorative objects, services are also invoiced on a fee basis, guaranteeing that you purchase the products at list price. In all cases, our contracts guarantee total transparency in terms of remuneration.
Which wood to choose for a cottage interior?
We use different types of wood, depending on the aesthetics and specific needs of the project. We also pay close attention to wood treatment and finishing to enhance durability and appearance. Spruce is an elegant wood, appreciated for its strength and fine grain. It can be used for wall cladding, ceilings and floors. Cedar, with its reddish-brown color and pleasant scent, is an aromatic, durable wood that is highly resistant to humidity, making it a suitable choice for mountain environments. Oak is noble, durable and timeless. It brings elegance and sophistication to furniture, doors, staircases… Walnut is a precious wood, rich in nuance. It is used in high-end design elements such as panelling, tables and cupboards. It adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to the interior of a prestigious chalet.
