According to the developer,
Stockholm Wood City will also
feature self-produced, stored, and
shared energy, albeit he withheld
specifics of the project’s energy
generation.
The first buildings are expected
to be finished in 2027 when the
development breaks ground in 2025.
“We are building the project in
phases to learn new things during
each phase which we can then
apply in the following phases,”
the developer said.
“We will learn much more
from doing this at such a big
scale. Our core strategy is to
develop large interconnected
areas,” it added.
“In this way, we can create
places full of variety that people
enjoy and where they want to
be, as opposed to just setting up
a single building.”
Stockholm Wood City will
contain restaurants and shops
in addition to residences and
workplaces.
It is the most recent in a string
of substantial wooden projects
that are now being built,
including a waterfront project in
Toronto that will include designs
by Adjaye Architects, Alison
Brooks Architects, and Henning
Larsen.
In addition, Sara Kulturhus,
a 20-story mass-timber cultural
structure in northern Sweden
that we examined in further
detail as part of our Timber
Revolution series, was designed
by White Arkitekter.
