The life cycle of wood has other benefits besides sustainable use of materials: when wood is used for construction, wood can increase the well-being of people spending time in the buildings. Biophilic building designs using wood enhance health and well-being in indoor environments, and make us feel closer to nature.

Building Concepts by Stora Enso are driven by a cost competitive analysis that is carried out together with our customers and specifiers in key markets. We develop all our Building Concepts together with a recognized 3rd party, well known by customers or specifier.
