Chevallier Architectes has designed a new house in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France, that features a remarkably large picture window that looks over the surrounding area.

The large black framed window not only provides spectacular views, but also acts as a contrasting element against the wood siding on the exterior of the home.

From inside the home, the large window perfectly frames the view of the neighboring houses, as well as the trees and nearby mountains.

Let’s take a look at the rest of the home…
More large windows are also featured throughout the home, while a glass railing allows for an unobstructed view from the balcony.

The balcony opens up to an alfresco dining area with stairs leading down to the patio below.

Adjacent to the dining room is a bar area with large windows and a dark accent wall that allows the TV to somewhat blend into the background.

At the bottom of the stairs, there’s a glass-enclosed wine cellar.

In one of the bedrooms, large picture windows have been used to create a corner window, while the window ledge acts as a bench for relaxing.
