Modern Alpine Chalet
Amidst the snowy serenity of Collingwood, Ontario, a slopeside sanctuary stands as a harmonious marriage of modern design and the enchanting beauty of winter.
After collaborating closely with the designers and architect, and thoroughly understanding their vision for the slopeside retreat, Northern Wide Plank's sales representative, Adam Corney, states, "It became evident that Greyson European oak hardwood flooring was the ultimate choice. Its smooth surface, adaptable neutral tones, and elegant grey undertones seamlessly connect the contemporary design with the natural surroundings, serving as a unifying statement that adds sophistication and grounds the entire space." This flooring choice plays a pivotal role in setting the tone for the entire space, bridging the gap between modern aesthetics and the timeless allure of nature.
Envisioned by a couple with three children, who primarily reside in Toronto, this chalet serves as their haven away from city life. With a bustling household and frequent visits from family and friends, the durability of NWP’s engineered hardwood floors with a robust 6mm wear layer is paramount. This exceptional quality ensures that the chalet remains a cherished gathering place for generations to come, embodying the enduring craftsmanship and timeless elegance of NWP flooring. Moreover, the wide plank floors, with their expansive size, offer clean and natural lines, simplifying the aesthetic and enhancing the overall sense of spaciousness and tranquility within the chalet.
Vaulted ceilings give the chalet a grand appeal, providing a sense of openness that complements the surrounding snowy landscapes. The large windows throughout showcase the stunning backdrop, creating a visual symphony of white slopes against the warm interior tones. Greyson European oak, with its elegant grey undertones, adds sophistication to the setting, grounding the space with a natural warmth that resonates throughout each room.
The kitchen and dining areas, adorned with exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling windows, become a focal point for gatherings. The Greyson wide plank hardwood flooring contributes to the cozy atmosphere, connecting seamlessly with the natural elements. The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, neutral wooden cabinets, and a stunning center island with a breakfast bar, all illuminated by pendant lights designed by David Trubridge.

The main floor features two fireplaces that enhance the inviting ambiance. The first, a grey stone fireplace – that matches the kitchen counters and backsplash – graces the cozy living room just off the kitchen, creating a snug retreat for moments of relaxation.
The second is a double-sided fireplace that runs parallel to the dining area, extending its warmth to the more formal seating area on the other side. This dual-purpose fireplace becomes a central feature, framed by pine wall cladding and surrounded by cozy seating options.
Moving to the living room, a comfortable mix of seating options create a snug retreat for moments of relaxation.
