Surprising compact & affordable 2 bedroom ski chalet with reverse floor plans

A cottage plan that surprises with its layout, featuring an inverted floor plan with the kitchen and living room on the upper level

Indeed, for a two-storey cottage, it is unexpected to find the sleeping area on the main floor and the living spaces upstairs. Yet, when you think about it, why not? With this configuration, occupants can fully enjoy spectacular views while cooking, sharing a good meal, or simply warming up by the wood stove.

On the main floor, you’ll find a closed entryway with an oversized coat closet, ideal for storing clothing and outdoor gear. This level also includes two generously sized bedrooms, a shower room, and a storage space located under the staircase leading to the upper floor. It’s worth noting how easy it is to plan for a future basement, as the stairway to the basement can be conveniently positioned directly beneath the staircase to the upper level.

Upstairs, you’re pleasantly surprised upon arrival to discover a bright, open-concept living area filled with natural light. This level brings together a spacious living room and a kitchen with a dining area that can easily be expanded as needed. The upper floor also features a second bathroom, storage space similar to that on the main floor, and a door leading to an outdoor balcony—an appreciated feature for some, including those who enjoy stepping outside occasionally.
