Häberlin Architekten AG

What Häberlin Architekten AG does

Häberlin Architekten AG is a privately held Swiss architecture and real estate development company headquartered in Müllheim, canton of Thurgau, operating as a full-service total contractor (Totalunternehmer) across the entire residential property lifecycle. The company is led by owner Yves Häberlin (Geschäftsleitung) and Chairman Konrad Häberlin, with a 40+ person in-house team covering architecture, project management, construction oversight, sales, and ongoing property management. Häberlin develops, builds, and sells owner-occupied apartments, semi-detached and single-family houses, tiny houses, and senior living communities, primarily in the Thurgau, Zürich, and Aargau cantons, with notable projects including Rosengarten Müllheim (28 owner-occupied apartments, 4 row houses), Struppler Unterstammheim (24 apartments, 8 semi-detached houses, 5 tiny houses), Stadtgärtli Kreuzlingen (22 owner-occupied apartments plus 19 rental units), and the competition-winning Wohnen im Alter Homburg senior housing project.

Projects are built using Swiss-standard mass timber and concrete hybrid construction, compliant with SIA structural and acoustic standards (SIA 181) and MINERGIE energy efficiency standards where specified. Energy systems deployed include groundwater heat pumps (Rosengarten), district heating connections (Struppler, via Konrad Keller AG), ground-source heat pumps (Stadtgärtli), photovoltaic arrays on flat and pitched roofs, and controlled residential ventilation (KWL). Capital intensity is meaningful: Häberlin self-funds or co-finances large developments, with single-project construction volumes ranging from CHF 7.5 million (Homburg) to CHF 48 million (Dahlienfeld), and over 50 residential projects completed since 2008.

Revenue is generated from three streams: one-time property sales to individual buyers (priced CHF 390,000 for tiny houses to over CHF 1.6 million for penthouse apartments), recurring rental income from the company's owned management portfolio (e.g., 43 units at Bruggmühle Bischofszell), and professional services for third-party and municipal clients (e.g., the Gemeinde Homburg senior housing commission). Häberlin operates a direct-to-consumer GTM with no third-party brokers, using its own website, project microsites, LinkedIn, Instagram, regional press coverage, and on-site open houses, while maintaining an in-house property management arm for rental units. The company is family-owned with no external institutional capital, has no publicly disclosed financials, and does not list on any stock exchange.
