It was the desire to see their three young daughters grow up surrounded by nature that prompted Victoria Wolf and her husband, Julien, to move from Geneva to the ski resort village of Megève in the French Alps. ‘We already knew Megève very well: before we met, we both had chalets here and it was also the place where we chose to get married,’ recalls Victoria, who as an interior designer had a clear vision for the home she hoped to create (follow her interior design firm on Instagram @maisonvictoriawolf). ‘As this would be our permanent family base, I dreamed of building a chalet from scratch. That way we could completely tailor the design to our needs,’ she explains.
