Swedish Wood

ARTICLE The Cederhusen buildings emerging in Hagastaden are Stockholm’s first large apartment blocks in CLT and one of the world’s biggest wood building projects in an inner-city environment.

We look back on an eventful year of 2022.

ARTICLE On a steep slope in southern Germany stands a house whose colours and form are both influenced by the local hunting towers and landscape. There is also a sauna, seemingly carved from the main building and placed on the other side of the inviting terrace.

ARTICLE Our cities are seeing an increasing number of smart construction projects in wood – unique, stand-out projects of various types that embrace their urban setting without being too forward. As cities grow and change, wood is set to become part of their new identity.

ARTICLE Now, the country’s largest office block in wood stands proudly on the site next to the central station in Uppsala.

Anna Ryberg Ågren, currently CEO of building materials organisation Byggmaterialindustrierna, will become Director of Swedish Wood on 1 December. In taking on the leadership of this industry body, Anna can draw on her extensive experience in environmental issues, sustainability and urban development.
