Stora Enso and SRV Yhtiöt have submitted a planning application to the Real Estate Board of the City of Helsinki to develop a unique wooden construction project, known as Wood City.
The plans call for the development of a world-class project in which engineering skills can be taught in a practical way and to develop wood architecture. Built of wood, the proposed project includes office, hotel and commercial buildings. The first buildings are expected to be completed in 2013.
Stora Enso is planning to supply supporting structures based on its new Urban MultiStorey concept for the buildings which have a total floor area of 20,000m².
The Urban MultiStorey concept will be offered throughout Europe. It features a variety of Stora Enso wood products. In addition to cross-laminated timber boards, the total solution uses pillar beams and various external and interior cladding products.
