We are so happy and proud to share that Forskaren, designed by 3XN/GXN Architects, has been shortlisted for two categories at the World Architecture Festival Awards: 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 and 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Forskaren was thoughtfully designed by 3XN, in strong collaboration with Vectura Fastigheter, with people in mind, featuring a welcoming, circular form and intimate, calming spaces. Natural materials flow throughout, from the vertical wooden slats on the façade to the wood paneling inside. The ground floor features natural Gotland limestone, creating a timeless feel. "Our goal for Forskaren has always been to create a space that strengthens the professional community. The use of natural materials, greenery, and abundant daylight helps foster an inspiring environment where people can truly thrive," says Marie Hesseldahl, Head of Interior and Partner at 3XN. Sustainability is at the core of Forskaren. The untreated wood materials are designed to last for decades, and the building aligns with the Swedish Byggvarubedömningen sustainable guidelines. Together with 3XN, we’re aiming for the sustainability certifications LEED Platinum and WELL v.1 Gold.
