Wooden Skyscraper
Scandinavian practice C.F. Møller Architects, in collaboration with DinellJohansson, are designing a scheme which includes three ”ultra-modern residential high-rises” planned for Stockholm’s city center. One of these proposals will actually be built, including the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper. Completion of the chosen tower is set for 2023, the 100th anniversary of the competition organizer and Sweden‘s
The residential skyscraper, which will reach 34 stories and be built from a wooden structure with stabilizing concrete cores, will make the building the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world. Each apartment will have a glass-fronted balcony and the roof will be home to an array of solar panels. In including a café, nursery, gym, bicycle storage and a winter garden for shared allotments in the scheme, the “social sustainability” of the project is made clear.
According to the architects, “pillars and beams will be constructed using solid and cross-laminated timber and inside the apartments floors.” “Ceilings and window frames will be made from wood, allowing the material to also be visible from the outside through the large windows.” For C.F. Møller, wood was the natural choice when it came to selecting a material for innovative residential development: “it is an environmentally friendly and durable material which creates a comfortable and healthy indoor climate and also constitutes a very efficient protection against fire.”
