Finnish minister of trade and industry Mauri Pekkarinen presented the 2006 Wood Award to Finnforest at the awards ceremony in Helsinki.
The five-storey building, the tallest wooden office structure in Europe, features a Kerto LVL frame, as well as glulam and ThermoWood cladding.
“I see a bright international future for such buildings as the wood renaissance continues,” said Pekka Helin, the primary architect on the project.
