Sara Kulturhus Centre "unleashed a world of previously unimagined design possibilities"

The penultimate case study in our Timber Revolution series is a 20-storey mass-timber building just below the Arctic Circle – the Sara Kulturhus Centre by Swedish studio White Arkitekter.
Standing 72.8 metres tall in the Swedish city of Skellefteå, the landmark structure became one of the world's tallest mass-timber buildings when it was completed in 2021.
