Conceptual designs for a timber skyscraper in Stockholm have been released by Anders Berensson Architects. Commissioned by the Stockholm Center Party, Tratoppen (‘the tree top’) is intended to stand on top of the existing Parkaden car park, leaving the façade intact.

At 133 m, the building would be the tallest in Stockholm, with the intention being to help accommodate the city’s rapidly growing population. According to the studio: ‘If we want to reduce the amount of cars in the city center of Stockholm, and at the same time make space for more housing without building on green areas, then replacing car parks with housing, shops and restaurants feels obvious.’

The architects propose that the 40-storey tower will be built out of cross-laminated timber (CLT), the façade being patterned with large numbers corresponding to the floor number. The façade will also act like a sun screen, keeping the building cool and energy efficient.
