We are an architectural design and construction firm specializing in timeless, site-specific design for single-family residences and remodels. We draw heavily from the neighborhood and regional vernacular so that our design takes on a sense of permanence. Chalet's distinctive interiors are done in collaboration with the Architectural Design. Mantle and millwork designs often speak to the architectural theme; while textiles, lighting and furnishings are selected from various periods, resulting in interiors with a sensibility that has developed over time. The clean lines of our buildings, and the use of durable, sustainable materials, create sightlines and backdrops that welcome both traditional and contemporary ideas in interior design. Chalet was founded on the principle that design excellence and best construction practices are inseparable. ### Services Provided - Architecture - Interior Design - Construction - Furniture ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Chalet | | Address | 517 E Bayaud Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80209, United States | | Phone | (720) 557-0789 | | Website | https://chaletcolorado.com | | Followers on Houzz | 1350 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — https://www.chaletcolorado.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Chalet](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/chalet-pfvwus-pf~151065751) - **Website:** https://chaletcolorado.com - **Phone:** (720) 557-0789 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 11 awards (2013–2023), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [NAHB Remodelers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-remodelers-pfvwus-pf~597469654) - [HBA of Metropolitan Denver](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/hba-of-metropolitan-denver-pfvwus-pf~916451504) - [NAHB 55+ Housing Industry Council](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-55-housing-industry-council-pfvwus-pf~1260313922) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.6 out of 5 — 9 reviews** ### All 9 reviews **★ — shopgirl3400, April 2016** > This company builds beautiful homes, but they do it at the owner's expense. With a cost + contract, they have a reputation of gouging clients by driving up costs. I would not recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — lorichapmancpa, Feb. 2016** > Chalet Development treats every client as though he/she is the most important client with their company. From the first meeting to follow up service after a project is completed, my family and many others, are treated as though every question is important and the response time is extremely fast. The quality of a Chalet Development home is beyond my highest expectations. **★★★★★ — mcolpack, July 2013** > There are some moments in life that are pivotal, and people that you meet that change the way you look at the world around you. This is how we feel about John Mattingly and working with Chalet Development. John took a beast of a house and transformed it into our wonderful home. The design process was a learning experience about architecture and design. We feel sincere appreciation for his unfailing commitment to excellence on our behalf. His never ending patience made us feel as though we were more than just a customer. John's genius and honesty are a combination that makes Chalet Development an A+ experience. **★★★★★ — braytonpc, July 2013** > Designing and building a home can be very stressful but John, Kacy and the other professionals at Chalet took this worry off the table. They are straightforward in their approach, they listen to what you want, and they ultimately create an amazing home designed with your wishlist and lifestyle in mind. The home was finished on time, on budget, and as promised ...so you cant ask for much more than that. I would highly reccomend using Chalet for your project. **★★★★★ — brendapringle, July 2013** > I am a flooring contractor and hardwood floor supplier who worked with Chalet Development on a custom private residence. I found John Mattingly and Kacy to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. We collaborated easily and when there were questions regarding the hardwood flooring material or installation methods they were very receptive to my advice and suggestions. I would highly recommend them as general contractors/builders. > > Brenda Pringle Specialty Products, LLC > Fine Hardwood Floors > Aspen - Denver > Ph 303-817-2685 > brenda@brendapringle.com > www.brendapringle.com **★★★★★ — julie031769, July 2013** > f you are looking for a high quality design/build firm in Denver then you absolutely must talk to John Mattingly and the talented group at Chalet. I fell in love with Chalet's work when my husband and I were looking for a new home in Denver and we came across one for sale. After seeing that home, nothing else we looked at even came close to what the Chalet home offered. I made a blind call to Chalet knowing nothing about the building process and whether or not they would even consider us as clients based on our budget. From our first meeting, John and his team listened to exactly what our needs and desires were based on our lifestyle, our budget, and our design taste. Chalet designed and built a home that works around how we live, and every detail was considered. I remember having a specific conversation with John about how our family "operates" in the kitchen in the morning. Now, every morning when I use my prep sink as a "coffee station," far away from the chaos my husband creates with breakfast, I smile and think about how important those details were for us to discuss. And when I look up at the custom-deisgned coffered ceilings in my living room and the gorgeous handmade wooden countertop on my kitchen island, I am SO grateful that we were able to work with a designer and builder with such a passion for creating beautiful homes in Denver. **★★★★★ — kcmorgan123, Jan. 2013** > Chalet Development LLC is remodeling parts of our existing home and building an addition onto it. They created a great design for the overall project, are managing the construction of the project and guide us in the interior design. Building and renovating a home that is so personal to you is stressful. Chalet has reduced much of this inherent stress for us by managing the process very smoothly and being extremely cognizant of what is and is not important to us. We feel like Chalet is a partner, not simply a hired service provider, in our project and we are very excited to see the final product! **★★★★★ — erinosh, March 2012** > Great quality work and attention to detail **★★★★★ — bdfitzgerald, Oct. 2011** > Chalet is building my wife and I's home in Wash Park, Denver and have been great every step of the way!! Great design, timeless architecture and great people. check them out! ## Selected projects - [Chalet Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chalet-furniture-pj-vj~23898) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Turiya](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/turiya-pj-vj~245916) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Ester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ester-pj-vj~23486) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Athena](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/athena-pj-vj~145388) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Ellis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ellis-pj-vj~145557) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Humphrey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/humphrey-pj-vj~21712) - Location: Denver, CO - Photos: 7 - Description: Humphrey is a progressive design on Washington Park.

The design process began by peeling away the layers and uncovering the original footprint. The small front staircase located to the north and right off the main entry became an interesting challenge to work through as its location, while original to the structure, was not ideal. The original 1922 structure dictated the scale of the addition, telling the story from the outside and guiding th… - [Thea](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thea-pj-vj~6350349) - Location: Denver, CO - Photos: 11 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/chalet-pfvwus-pf~151065751) ## Community Q&A **Q: Who makes the faucets and mirrors?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Mirrors are Restoration Hardware and the faucets are Newport Brass **Q: Love this house.
