Stockholm might get an entire neighborhood of 31 wooden skyscrapers - take a look
The Stockholm Center Party commissioned Anders Berensson Architects to design a dense and environmentally friendly neighborhood in Masthamnen, the city's central dock area.
Masthamnen, in red, is located in a valley surrounded by three hills.
The proposal calls for a multi-level design, with homes, offices, and shops planned for the bottom level.
Narrow wooden skyscrapers would be built above, and bridges would connect the district to the surrounding hills and the rest of the city.
About 2,500 new apartments are planned for the lower level, spanning 19 city blocks with buildings six to 10 floors tall.
All of the Masthamnen apartments have been designed to include a view of either boats or cruise ships at the dock.
Each of the 31 proposed wooden skyscrapers would be 25 to 35 floors tall. They would feature 3,000 apartments along with 30 shops and restaurants.
Anders Berensson Architects has not yet released a timeline for the project.
