Architecture and lifestyle photographer Taran Wilkhu recently visited Haus Dalcher – a little-known Modernist gem in Zug, Switzerland – to commemorate the first anniversary of the architect’s death.

Leo Hafner (1924-2015) was a Swiss Modernist, responsible for a number of commissions within the city of Zug, most notably the head office of the Zuger Kantonalbank which he designed when he was only 25 years old.

One of a number of private residences designed by Hafner, Haus Dalcher was built in 1955 for the Dalcher family’s occupation. The property has remained with the family ever since, and care has been taken to preserve many of the original features.
