SwissLounge at the airport

Short description

Implenia Holzbau helped produce and install the new SwissLounge at the Zürich Airport with a close partnership between our wood construction and our finish carpentry teams.

The project

The SwissLounge design concept required matching wood finishes throughout the project`s varied features.  For example, the Implenia Holzbau produced wooden doors and ceiling panels had to match the wood finishes on third party produced kitchens.  Fulfilling the project`s high architectural standards demanded excellent communication and coordination with partner firms and within the different specialties departments of Implenia Holzbau.  Mastering these challenges and a very tight schedule, the construction team reached an on-time completion with stunning results.
