Aquick game of word association … Electrolux. Fridges, freezers, ovens, washing machines, hobs, tumble dryers. The list goes on. Only those who are in the know would reply with“ sustainable town.”
But in western Kungsholmen, Stockholm, that is exactly what Electrolux is developing – and its latest element has just opened.
Electrolux’ s new headquarters extension within the Greenhouse Sthlm neighbourhood achieves what CEO Yannick Fierling describes as“ an incredible milestone” with world-leading green building certifications.
The development challenges conventional approaches to construction and community design. It is a comprehensive reimagining of how 3,000 residents will live, work and interact within a neighbourhood designed from the ground up to minimise climate impact whilst maximising quality of life.
The project is evidence that sustainable urban development can deliver environmental performance and commercial viability, providing a model for cities worldwide grappling with the dual challenges of urban density and decarbonisation.
Yannick said:“ I’ m incredibly proud of this new landmark. It’ s not just a building, it’ s a testament to what we can achieve as a truly sustainable company.”
“ The wood used in the project stores more CO₂ than was emitted during the build”
