It is smart to use a circular business model where you can use existing buildings to create new buildings. Wood as a renewable building material plays a key role when existing buildings get new life with the help of wooden extensions. <h2> The Tricot Factory </h2>
Trikåfabriken (The Tricot factory) in Stockholm is an industrial property from 1926 converted into a sustainable office building. A timber section of 5-7 floors has been added on the existing buildings, now joint into one complex, where 1200 people work.
<h2> Architecture </h2>
The industrial nature of the building in combination with the solid timber frame on top creates a unique feel. The atrium, which reaches from the ground floor to the roof brings the different parts of the building together. On the roof you find a terrace, solar cells and stonecrop.
<h2> A sustainable building </h2>
All the materials used have been chosen for their ability to meet demands on sufficient lifespan, maintenance requirements and low environmental footprint.
<h2> Wooden extensions </h2>
This is an example how we can expand on what has already been built. Wooden extensions are a good alternative for increasing life span, densifying and using existing buildings in a flexible and sustainable way. Thanks to the wooden buildings system, the structure has a low weight and a low climate footprint.
