Alfredo Häberli Design Development have recently completed a house designed to showcase Baufritz’s expertise in wood home construction.

The house, located in Germany, is made up of a few different buildings, with the main building named Flagship.

Sticking to the objective of the house, wood elements feature heavily throughout both the exterior and interior.

On the ground floor of the Flagship building, there’s built-in furniture with extensive storage space that runs centrally through the entire length of the building, with small rooms arranged all around it.

Also on the ground floor is this bedroom, with a built-in fireplace in the corner that flows into a seating area, and then further into a completely built-in bath, surrounded by wood. Opposite the bath is a walk-in shower and separate toilet.

Wood stairs with a view of the garden lead you to the upper floor of Flagship.

Upstairs, the space is flooded with light from the floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the living area, and the wood covered curved kitchen has bar seating that transforms into shelving.

As this floor of the home is mostly open plan, the dining room is positioned next to the sliding doors that lead to the outdoor terrace. At night, the doors are closed and the perforated screen becomes a dramatic artistic feature throughout the space.

At the other end of the main floor, is the lounge, similar in design to the bedroom downstairs, with the wood bookshelf merging into the fireplace surround and then into seating. There’s also upholstered seating in a stadium-like design, so there’s a place for everyone to sit and relax.

Outside, there’s the terrace that wraps around the Flagship building and provides access via a bridge to the small neighboring building.

Named the Stöckli, this type of building is traditionally a house in Switzerland that farmers move into when they retire – but with this house, it’s been designed to serve as a workshop, guest rooms, or living accommodation for a grandparent.

Smaller in size than Flagship, the upper floor has a bedroom and a living space, as well as a built-in extended window sill that flows into a table.

The Stöckli also has stairs that are surrounded by wood slats that curve around and create a softer look for the space. At the bottom of the stairs, a simple rail provides a place to hang outerwear.

Hidden behind both buildings is a small cellar with a wall for wine storage and a large live edge wood table surrounded by wood stools.

To make the house more environmentally friendly, the roof of Flagship is covered in solar panels.
