Alfredo Häberli Design Development

In 2023, we collaborated with architect Matthias Kamm on the redesign of an apartment building at Zeltweg in Zurich. The project presented an intriguing challenge: integrating fully functional kitchens and comfortable bathrooms into the compact layouts of approximately three dozen units, all while maintaining the original water connection points.

Our solution was both efficient and elegant. Each unit features a «box within a room» concept, where a single door in the kitchen discreetly leads to the bathroom behind it. The bathrooms, finished entirely in a monochromatic, water-repellent coating, are strikingly minimal yet functional. This seamless design maximizes space while providing a sense of cohesion and modernity.

Adding a touch of luxury, the kitchen work surfaces and backsplash are crafted from the exceptional «Verde Maritaca» stone, lending a unique vibrancy and depth to the compact spaces. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design can transform spatial constraints into opportunities, creating harmonious and sophisticated living environments.
