Sara Kulturhus 
Sara Cultural Center in Skellefteå/Sweden will be one of the tallest wood buildings in the world when opening to the public in 2021. The 20-storey building will contain two theatres, an art center, a library, and many public spaces for people to meet. The vision for the cultural center is to become the “living room” of the city; a melting pot for ideas and cultural exchange.

Strandparken 
Strandparken housing blocks in Sundbyberg outside Stockholm/Sweden is the world’s first eight story wood building that actually looks like a wood building. It is completely made of wood, from structure to facade. Since its construction in 2013, Strandparken has become an example and inspiration to the entire world. 

Lilla Snåland 
Can you create something out of waste that for many years was considered rubbish? And how likely is it that what you create will be selected for the Swedish Nation Museum’s permanent collection? Perhaps it takes a kind rebel and a passionate CEO of a classic furniture company. Lilla Snåland is a three-legged stool designed by Marie-Louise Hellgren, made entirely out of waste from the iconic Windsor chair Lilla Åland.

Björkö wind power plant
A wind-turbine-tower in wood might sound to good to be true, but is becoming reality on large-scale, through the development by Modvion – a company based on the west-coast of Sweden. A prototype of 30m height has already been installed on the island of Björkö, and larger installations, of about 150 m height, are under current development, inland.

Children Care Center
With nature and a railway station around the corner, Lindesberg health centre connects to the expansion of the central Lindesberg area 200 kilometres west of Stockholm. The building will function both as a healthcare centre and housing complex. The residential building and the healthcare centre are linked together through an area called Gallery of the Senses, which serves as a living room for all residents and visitors.

Botanikern
Botanikern is part of a new neighbourhood in Uppsala, Rosendal, developed according to a high sustainability standard. This newly built housing complex literally breathes wood, with a CLT frame and a wooden façade. The natural material is further emphasized by greenery – on the façade, in the courtyard and on the rooftop with its own biotope landscape. Social interaction is also at the projects core, as are circular systems and biodiversity, and living spaces to share, for all.

Trikåfabriken 
Trikåfabriken in Stockholm/Sweden is an industrial property from 1926 converted into a dynamic, sustainable office building. A timber-on-top section of 5-7 floors has been added to the excisting buildings, now joint into one complex, where 1200 people work.
