Stockholm is one of those major European cities that continuously astound us with their sensational buildings. The now-completed “Cederhusen” is without a doubt one of these amazing architectural feats. By tradition, Sweden is a country of wooden structures. For this reason, it simply makes sense for builders to increasingly select wood as their material of choice when they erect multi-storey structures.

The Cederhusen’s solid-wood style extends all the way up to the top 10th floor. Only the first two floors are made of concrete. Otherwise, the building is all wood, including façades made of cedar clapboards that lend an unusually light look to the entire structure. Wood that is used as the main building material of a structure has one big benefit in urban settings: It serves as a carbon capture and storage material throughout its service life. For this reason, the use of wood as a building material actively helps to reduce the greenhouse gas CO2 and is thus one of the most-effective ways to reach the goals of the Paris climate agreement particularly in the area of building stock. The entire complex consists of four residential buildings that are each 10 to 13 storeys high. Once all four buildings are finished, residents will live in a total of 234 flats that offer between 25 square metres and 202 square metres of living space. Interior designers selected two particularly beautiful HARO parquet floors for the project: about 530 square metres of Carré Oak Silver Grey from the parkettmanufaktur and 5,000 square metres of HARO 180 Plank 1-Strip Ash Light White in a markant grade from the 4000 Series.
