In Hyllie in Malmö, the developer ETC Bygg built its largest project ever, a 12-storey building with 65 apartments built entirely in wood and other biobased materials. There are 10 storeys of accommodation above ground floor café and retail. The top floor is storage and plant space. This unique tenement house is being built in CLT mass wood as the main structure, with EcoCocon panels forming the external envelope. The building has been designed to a passive house standard with extremely low energy consumption to provide long-term comfort and low energy bills. The goal is to create a climate-positive energy system in the building with its own energy production and storage, which means that the property does not need to be connected to the local district heating system or other sources of fossil fuels.
The apartments are designed in a way that they offer accommodation to young and old alike. The idea is that both the family with small children, the pensioner and the student should be able to live alongside each other. The apartment distribution is a mixture of one bed, two bed and some larger apartments.
All apartments have generous balconies of approximately 10 – 15 square meters that run along the entire width of the apartment, offering valuable amenity for relaxation.
Construction started in 2024 and the completion was scheduled for 2025.
