In the mid-nineteenth century, the genuine Swiss chalet was perhaps the most appealing of wood-built houses.
As a result, the Swiss chalet soon grew to be a popular cottage style that dotted the English countryside.
It was similar to the original Swiss chalet in that it featured large windows, the extensive use of galleries, second-floor balconies beneath a gabled overhang and railings that had flat board balustrades with decorative motifs.
Chalet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (281 words)
A chalet (pronounced /ˈʃæleɪ/), also called Swiss chalet, is a type of building in the Alpine region made of wood.
The term chalet is also used in the Hospitality Industry to describe detached cottages (semi-detached are called duplex or triplex) in other settings, including seaside resorts and as an adjunct to motel accommodation.
These chalets can be similar to studio apartments with self-contained cooking facilities and/or bathroom and toilet facilities, or can be family suites in a serviced environment.
