No stranger to innovation and sustainability, Sweden looks set to build the ‘world’s largest’ wooden city, offering ‘the serenity of a forest’.
Stockholm Wood City will have 7,000 office spaces and 2,000 homes over 250,000 square metres, and is being designed by Danish studio Henning Larsen together with Swedish firm White Arkitekter. The buildings will be constructed from fire-proofed mass timber and will incorporate natural elements such as green roofs for better insulation and large windows for natural light.
