To build and
construct
in Wood
In the spring of 2015, two high-rise blocks built from wood were constructed, beautifully nestled in a small forest on a hill outside of Borås. The apartment blocks have a contemporary character, featuring vaulted roofs and a façade made from wood chips and certainly attract Attention.
By working with wood throughout the construction from frame to internal top layers, a small carbon dioxide footprint is guaranteed since wood is such a durable material. In addition, it ages well and, in the end, it can be recycled as fuel. Solid wood can also store energy and air humidity.
