City made of wood

No stranger to innovation and sustainability, Sweden will soon be home to the world's largest wooden city, offering ‘the serenity of a forest’.

Designed by Danish studio Henning Larsen together with Swedish firm White Arkitekter, Stockholm Wood City will have 2,000 homes and 7,000 office spaces over 250,000 square metres (around 10 blocks). The buildings are being constructed from fire-proofed mass timber and will incorporate natural elements such as green roofs for better insulation and large windows for natural light.

Construction started in 2024 and the first buildings are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
