It shapes the whole experience': what happens when you build a city from wood?
Briefly

The Sickla high school extension, part of a major mass timber project, exemplifies sustainable construction practices. Utilizing materials like cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam, the project achieves strength and speed while minimizing construction noise and dust, contributing to a cleaner environment. Atrium Ljungberg aims for climate neutrality by 2030, with timber reducing climate impact by around 40%. Their vision includes reusing materials, enhancing sustainability as they plan 25 neighborhoods with extensive housing options leading up to 2027. The project showcases advancements in eco-friendly architecture and responsible building practices.
It's a fantastic working environment - no concrete dust, no silica dust issues. It's clean and quiet, said Niklas Haggstrom, the project area manager at Atrium Ljungberg.
By choosing timber as the structural material, the company has said it reduces its climate impact by about 40%, a claim backed up by researchers at Linkoping University.
