Innovative projects and designs reshaping our urban landscape
The world’s largest wooden city kicked off in 2024 and the first building is on track for completion this year. Wood City is located in Sickla, a suburb in southern Stockholm, Sweden which is home to over 400 unique businesses already. Swedish Urban Designer, Atrium Ljungberg, initiated the project.
Wooden buildings have incredible benefits to both the built environment and people thanks to wood’s ability to retain carbon dioxide, improve air quality, and best of all: results in quieter construction sites.

Keep things Brief As the designers and builders of our communities, we may be eager to provide tons of details as we prepare our resumes, but sometimes: writing less is more and allows you to have in depth conversations with hiring managers. This way you can add context to projects, share your excitement and expertise about your work and answer questions.
