Chalet Style Homes

Logangate’s modern Chalet Homes follow the tradition of classic Swiss Alps architecture. Key features of our Chalet-style home kits include steep sloping roofs with longer overhangs at the eaves, gable ends, and a prow front. The roof overhangs of our Logangate Chalet kit homes can be customized from 1 to 2 feet on the eaves and up to 4 feet on the ends of the home. These functional overhangs provide architectural style and protect the sides of the Chalet kit home from the elements.

Chalet Kit Homes

A key feature of Logangate Chalet-style home kits is the Prow front. The Prow is at the gable end in the living room and typically is pointed towards the view. The center section of the wall protrudes out 4 feet at the midpoint. At either side of the midpoint, our Chalet house kits typically place 8-foot wide doors and five pieces of fixed glass above each door. Therefore, on the view side of the home, we have 2- to 8-foot wide doors and ten pieces of fixed glass, all designed to maximize the natural scenic views. This is the prominent architectural feature of our Timber Frame Chalet style homes.

Inside, you can see the real advantages of our Chalet Timber Homes. All Logangate Chalet house kits include full clerestory rooms (meaning there are no attic spaces or drywall ceilings in our Chalet cabin kit designs). We use 4×8 Douglas Fir Timbers from British Columbia and 2×6 Douglas Fir Tongue and Groove. As a result, all of our vaulted ceilings are 100% Douglas Fir timber. The vaulted ceiling provides the main look of our Chalet cabin kit plans, and our team at Logangate emphasizes these ceilings for a final product that our clients love.  For the finishing touches,  a clear coat of varnish is a common request to finish the Douglas Fir timber and to bring out its natural beauty. Our prefab Chalet kit home utilizes Douglas Fir not only for its’ aesthetic qualities but also for its strength. Douglas Fir is one of the strongest softwoods utilized by the best timber home companies.

Chalet Home Plans and Designs

Our chalet home plans are highly customizable from 600 sq. ft to 4000 sq. ft. Our process includes custom drafting in AutoCAD floor plans and elevations. Logangate’s design consultant works with homebuyers to find the perfect chalet home plans with the right size and style to make each home unique. Our Chalet kit homes always have a spacious and open living room with 22-foot high ceilings at the peak. Dining rooms are also typically near the vaulted ceilings. Timber Frame Chalet-Style Homes can be designed with the master either on the main floor or the loft. You can customize the number of bedrooms and baths you want and any other feature. Our chalet home dimensions start at 24 to 28 feet deep and then increase in 4-foot increments, i.e. 24×36, 40, 44. Adding a single or two-story wing is always an option for clients who want to go bigger.

A unique aspect of our prefab chalet homes is our exposed loft floor system. Instead of traditional floor trusses, our modern chalet homes feature a 4×8 Douglas Fir joist with 2×6 Douglas Fir Tongue and Groove flooring on top. Have more questions about our Chalet home plans?
