WHO WE ARE
We bought The Penthouse after falling in love with Oz en Oisans five years ago. We have three school-age daughters, who have grown up spending a their winter holidays (and many of their summers) in Oz, and who are not only expert skiers (far better than their parents!) but know the mountain and our little village like the back of their hands. Everyone knows them too and that alone is something to cherish.
Wanting to create a home-from-home, we kept furnishings simple and functional but easy on the eye and above all comfortable. Kate works in glossy magazine publishing and has 2 decades of experience in the fashion, travel and interiors industries; whilst Tim has travelled extensively in the name of business to countries with often harsh and extreme climates. We know the importance of feeling nurtured and looked after.
We use The Penthouse ourselves, for family skiing holidays with our three young daughters, as well as a base for summer hiking. Our Norwegian Buhund, Pepper, comes too, and dogs are welcome in our home so long as they don't climb on furniture or beds, or stain the flooring.
