Federer and his family are set to move in to the state-of-the-art three-storey building at the end of the year, and are believed to be joined by his parents Robert and Lynette, who could be the new residents in the two luxury apartments being build in addition to the main home.
The building, called The Residence, is located in Wollerau in Schwyz county, and comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a swimming pool and large balconies with magnificent views stretching across Lake Zurich.

Federer, 33, moved from his birthplace of Basel to the 'tax paradise' of Wollerau in March 2008, one year before marrying Slovakian-born Mirka, 36.
Located about 20 minutes drive from Zurich, and an hour from Basel, Wollerau is one of the lowest tax municipalities in Europe and the liberal tax structure has attracted other multi-millionaires.
Formula One drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa and the former UBS chairman Marcel Ospel have all chosen to live in the canton.
Federer's new glass-walled home, being built on a plot of about 1.5 acres with underground parking, is believed to be worth £6.5million.
The 500sq.m property will have plenty of room for Federer, Mirka and their two sets of twins – five-year-old girls Myla and Charlene and boys Leo and Lenny, born last May.

Federer famously likes to take his whole brood on the road, and brought both sets of twins to Wimbledon this year, despiter Leo and Lenny being just a few weeks old.
He said at a press conference after his sons were born that taking them all on the road is hard work but worth it.
'My wife does a lot of work, as much as she can. And I try to help as much as I can,' he explained. 'We have the grandparents as well and all my team members, they sometimes just tag along. Clearly we also need some help on the road, so Mirka can have an opportunity sometimes to sleep in a little bit, or come to watch one of my matches.
'You need to be well organised, but by now we know how it works. I am looking forward to life on the tour with the family, and it will be a long time without any travelling after the tennis is over. So I'm looking forward to the next couple of years now.'
Scores of builders have been working to get the impressive structure completed this year, described as 'prestigious, contemporary architecture with extensive glazing,' by the developer, Kamata Development.
