Pierre Yovanovitch has completed a nature-themed ski hotel Le Coucou. Le Coucou, a 55-room hotel nestled on the snow-capped Meribel mountain, is a popular resort and is part of the Les Trois Valley, the largest ski area in the world.

Pierre Yovanovitch designed the right space to provide as many stunning views as possible. Guests enter the hillside hotel through the lobby with pine timber from the nearby forest. The space is topped by a dome, topped by a nature-themed mural by the artist Matthieu Cosse, which depicts an owl flying over a ridge to nest among the coiled trees. Two private cottages at Le Coucou offer additional accommodations, including four en-suite bedrooms, a sizeable living room and a play area.

Locally sourced timber continues to feature heavily in the bedrooms, with warm, terracotta-coloured walls, polka-dot carpets and frosted-glass light fittings.While the smaller rooms feature Yovanovitch's sheepskin-upholstered Bear chairs – which boast cute, ear-like protrusions from the backrests – larger suites have been completed with curved velvet sofas where guests can enjoy breakfast or drinks.

Should guests want to go for a swim instead of hitting the slopes, they can head to the hotel's indoor pool. Around the periphery of the room runs a series of arched niches that tuck away loungers and side tables.Apres-ski can alternatively be spent in the on-site spa, cigar room, or heated outdoor pool that offers up-close views of the snowy summits.An abundance of relaxing lounge areas are also available, each dressed with bespoke furnishings and floor coverings. A selection of over 160 artworks personally curated by Yovanovitch has been dotted around as decor.
