OLF managed this project from conception, through the procurement of the required land, and is currently overseeing the ongoing construction of this new-build chalet. We were able to source the full design team and work closely with the client to develop the design through a potentially difficult planning process.

We established a permanent legal prescience in Italy for this project to allow the client to have maximum control over choice and quality of the project and to take advantage of reduced rates of IVA that can only benefit an Italian company.

Being in a fairly remote area, the challenge has been to source the necessary skilled contractors to undertake a high-profile project in an area where there isn’t an abundance of choice. Collaborating with the design team, OLF is in the process of sourcing materials, finishes, and quality suppliers from all over Europe with an eye on meeting the client’s expectation to provide one of—if not the best chalet in the region. The project will feature a combination of traditional chalet design mixed in with modern materials and innovative technology, including Limone’s only residential indoor swimming pool, extensive entertainment areas, heated outdoor BBQ area and an incredible double-height lounge with natural stone fireplace.

Once the project is complete in time for the winter season in the second half of 2020, OLF will have responsibility for the ongoing maintenance and management of the property including establishing and controlling maintenance contracts with service contractors for the lift, swimming pool, heating, electrical, audio visual and building management system to ensure the property is ready for use as the clients require each season.
