The building also secured Sweden’ s NollCO2 certification, confirming net zero climate impact, alongside the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for sustainable homes and FSC certification for responsibly sourced Swedish timber.
Carbon reduction through material innovation The development’ s approach to embodied carbon is a fundamental departure from conventional construction methods.
According to its NollCO2 assessment, the project has cut emissions by 57 % compared to conventional construction – a reduction achieved primarily through strategic material selection and innovative building techniques.
Yannick emphasised the carbon sequestration benefits, saying:
“ The wood used in the project stores more CO₂ than was emitted during the build.”
This achievement transforms the building into a carbon asset, with the structure functioning as a long-term carbon store.
The timber construction, sourced from responsibly-managed Swedish forests, demonstrates how renewable materials can deliver structural performance and climate priorities.
The project incorporates reused bricks alongside new timber construction, illustrating how circular economy principles can be integrated into premium developments without compromising looks or function.
This combination of material reuse and bio-based construction creates a hybrid approach that maximises carbon reduction across the entire building lifecycle. sustainabilitymag. com 99
