The Villa Windegg, built in 1870 in the centre of Zurich, was carefully dismantled stone by stone in 1910 and rebuilt in Seefeld on Lake Zurich. Moving the building was a masterstroke for the time. After a core renovation, the villa now meets current building standards and houses a clinic, offices and residences.

Around 100 SG 4960 motorised roller blinds are installed in the listed villa. The window frames were adapted to minimise the side light gaps and to conceal the bottom bars when the blinds are raised. Over 70 curtain track systems are installed behind bespoke fascias which blend into the stucco ceiling. Sheer curtains gently diffuse daylight with heavier curtains for privacy.
