House of Switzerland

[1] Since the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the House of Switzerland has been under the project management of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA).

The spruce wood construction consists of 193 largely standardized elements that can be transported on fourteen semi-trailers or in containers.

[4] After its first appearance in Sochi, the mobile building was used in a scaled-down version at the Giro del Gusto in Milan.

[5] For the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, a two-storey pavilion, called Maison Suisse, was erected in the garden of the Hôtel de Besenval, the seat of the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation since 1938, with a total area of 1000 m², which included a bar, a restaurant, a music program and art installations by Geneva artists Laure Marville (* 1990) and Thomas Liu Le Lann (* 1994).
