Växjö C
Växjö Kommonhus is a public building that combines the city’s central train station with municipal offices and small retail.
The building is remarkable not for its glass facade and large volume inside, but more for its timber construction. While there is concrete in the foundational work, much of the frame and interior is timber, a nod to sustainability and the Småland region’s prominence in the sustainable forestry industry.
The initial design was done via competition, won by White Arkitekter. Completion was by Sweco, as White’s initial expansive design proposal was found to be too expensive.
Architects: White Arkitekter and Sweco
