As a industry practitioner who constantly adheres to technological innovation, Häfele Hardware has a long history with SD competition. Since 2013, Häfele has provided a one-stop hardware solution and home design concept for the O-house of the Tsinghua University team.
With the excellent overall hardware solutions and broad product line, Häfele once again became the hardware sponsor of the Tsinghua University team as well as the South China University of Technology and the Italian Polytechnic University team, and participated in the project since the beginning of the project.

The WHAO House

The architectural design is based on the relationships between three groups with different scales - communities, families and generations. By offering flexible space, an integrated site, and a modular building with a smart home system, we build a worthy, healthy, aesthetic, and organic home for the future.

Häfele provides solid and reliable support of the inside of the house with the cabinet storage system, wardrobe hardware, drawer hardware and bathroom hardware.

LONG PLAN

The Long -Plan Project enhances the freedom of use of space through the control of architectural order and advocates the idea of regaining natural life. As a long-lasting bond that maintains the feelings among the residents, the Longhouse Project integrates human comfort (+), energy saving (-), and urban effects (×), module construction (÷) Four strategies to return the life of ecology, humanities and technology to the city and let history go to the future.

In the house, a large number of Häfele door control hardware and bathroom hardware were used.  In particular, considering the narrow design of the entire room type, Häfele's various sliding door hardware were installed to reduce the short of the space and ensure the reuse of multiple spaces.

The sliding door in the second floor equipped with Häfele SLY-FG80/3T haredare set up an easy-to-manipulate barrier: during the day, it can be a living room; and when the door is closed at night, it is a bedroom. The double space is perfectly realized.
