Volta updates holiday apartment inside Breuer's brutalist Flaine ski resort
Architecture studio Volta has revamped an apartment within the Marcel Breuer-designed ski resort Flaine, adding a handful of Bauhaus-inspired details to its interiors.
Having already gone through a number of renovations, the apartment has now been redesigned by Paris-based architecture studio Volta to more closely reflect its "original spirit".
It's set inside the Cassiopeia apartment block in Flaine, a ski resort designed by Bauhaus-trained architect Marcel Breuer back in 1960.
The resort is located in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, and comprises of a series of pre-cast concrete buildings that are meant to complement the rocky backdrop of the surrounding mountains ? it has previously been criticised because of its atypical alpine aesthetic.
"The strong will of the customers was to respect the Bauhaus spirit and its materiality as much as possible," the studio told Dezeen.
"The Bauhaus movement was predominant in the design of the project. It has influenced its history, its choice of materials and its furniture. The challenge was to revive its influences in a contemporary context."
In the south-facing living room, which overlooks the snowy slopes and mountain peaks, walls have been freshened up with a coat of white paint. An L-shaped blue sofa with mustard yellow cushions has been inserted in the corner, drawing on the primary colour-heavy palette of the Bauhaus movement.
