Working with you, we will open up the possibilities of going on an inspirational journey to create a unique home. Who knows which paths we will take but it will be a great adventure!

It will take time and we will be working together as a team through the stages of design, council approval and construction and it will be an amazing experience!

Atelier Haefeli Pty. Ltd. is a small architectural practice in Avalon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Maintaining this scale of practice ensures that our Clients always receive the attention of the Principals.

Projects range from one off houses and alterations to multi residential and mixed use developments mostly in environmentally sensitive areas.

The partners, Linda Haefeli from Sydney and Rolf Haefeli from Switzerland have both worked in Europe before returning to Sydney and establishing their own practice in 1990. Experiences overseas with architects such as Frei Otto and Ricardo Bofill (Barcelona) helped form our architectural perspectives and a more open approach to design; encouraging Innovation and integration rather than following fashionable trends.

Few buildings survive the test of time. Durability of materials and adaptability to changing user requirements form an essential part of environmentally conscious design.

Sustainability ideas have always been a core part of our design philosophy. Correctly locating and detailing to promote ESD principles shape the architecture.

The Houses of Atelier Haefeli respond to the challenge with innovative design solutions.

We take pride in providing a complete service and enjoy working in a team, with the Client, Builder, engineer, making sure attention to detail is maintained during design and construction.
