Implementation of the Swiss Pavilion at the Biennale in Venice, Italy in May 2018.

At the 16th International Architecture Biennale in Venice, the Swiss Pavilion was awarded the Golden Lion. A young team of architects from ETH Zurich with Alessandro Bosshard, Li Tavor, Matthew van der Ploeg and Ani Vihervaara designed an empty apartment, which visitors could visit in the pavilion. The "House Tour" was supposed to increase the sensitivity for architecture in one's own living space. After 2016, NUSSLI Group was commissioned again in 2018 to implement the project. In addition to the entire project management and the completion on time, it also included the complex logistics, in which all material had to be transported by ship to the Giardini.
