MAISON PIERROZ, Your trusted partner for the construction and renovation of wooden chalets.
Mountains, fireplace, wood… Symbols that bring back distant memories of winters spent huddled up by the fireplace contemplating snowy landscapes and surrounded by loved ones. There is no better place to share time with others, unwind and revitalise oneself than your very own mountain chalet…
For over 30 years, Maison Pierroz has been working on the creation and renovation of your chalets with an unwavering commitment to the values of traditional craftsmanship. Located at the very heart of the Savoie in the Beaufortain valley, the mountain is our heritage. Our know-how has been passed down from generation to generation as well as our passion for materials and wood of course.
Having started off as joiners and carpenters, we renovate the chalets of yesteryear and construct those of the future. Blending your ideas and our expertise to create together the chalet you have always dreamed of is our vocation. Today, Maison Pierroz builds more than 10 new chalets per year. Let us design together the project you hold close to heart.
SINCE 1988
Yves Pierroz created the family joinery business in 1988 at Arêches Beaufort. The arrival of Gilles Pierroz a few years later bolstered the company’s framing know-how.
In just a few years’ time, Maison Pierroz became a renowned expert in the renovation and restoration of old buildings, barns and chalets of yesteryear and developed extensive know-how regarding the local heritage.
Maison Pierroz is now also a leading company in the construction of new chalets.

LIFE IN A WOODEN CHALET
COMFORT FROM ALL STANDPOINTS
Contrary to preconceived ideas, wooden chalets are suited to all geographical areas. They provide protection from the cold as well as during heat waves. As there are no thermal bridges, wooden houses are much better insulated than those built using conventional masonry techniques which have 30% heat loss.
Wood has exceptional natural acoustic qualities, and the fact that musical instruments have been made with this material for thousands of years bears witness to this. Inside a wooden home you will have the feeling of being sheltered from the noise produced by the outside world.
Thanks to humidity levels being regulated throughout the year, the air inside a wooden home is much healthier than in homes made with other building materials. Wood even enables to improve the state of health of people suffering from allergies or respiratory problems.
Apart from all the technical and ethical aspects, a wooden house enables you to reduce running costs by up to 20% compared to a house built using conventional masonry techniques.
QUALITY FINISH
Scrupulous selection to ascertain overall harmony
Maison Pierroz scrupulously selects timber based on origins while prioritising short supply chains in the case of new-growth wood, and quality & environmental concerns for old-growth wood. Our ambition is to remain faithful to your vision and the character of your project.
The selection of choice materials is an integral part of the “Pierroz signature” inherent to our mountain chalets.
