Alfredo Häberli's house «Waldsicht» in Köniz, Bern, combines ecology and design. His demands on good architecture are high: «I want to give a new-built house a soul that can be felt immediately when you move in,» says Alfredo Häberli. With his exhibition concepts, architectural projects and design drafts, the Zurich native is one of the most demanded designers worldwide. His design focuses on lightness and charm, while always being precise. Observation is the best form of thinking, is his philosophy. This attentive observation also benefited the designer's latest project: a family friend of his had asked him to design a house for them.
