The winner of the Wooden Building of the Year 2022 is a building project that uses wood from the inside to the outside. New solutions have been used and reuse is a guiding principle in all choices. This is a great example of how construction in the future can give content to the term circularity," the jury writes in a press release.
Seltor is the proud turnkey contractor of this beautiful, forward-looking project.
The award was presented at Byggedagene on March 22, and the three wooden buildings The Plus, Hasle Tre and Sophie Radich School were nominated.
- "It was a demanding job for the jury to select the three nominated candidates, as the range of building types was particularly wide this year. All three nominated projects would have been worthy winners of the award and are great representatives of modern timber construction," says Aasmund Bunkholt, CEO of TreFokus, in the announcement.
The winner of the Wooden Building of the Year 2022 won the award for:
- Innovative use of wood
- Site-specific architecture
- Circular construction
- Newly developed solutions
Hasle Tre is an office building in Hasle, Oslo, which, together with the Wang Ung sports youth school and the Vinslottet neighborhood center, helps to frame a new square in Hasle. The square creates an urban space on what was once the main access to Vinmonopolet's historic production facility in Hasle. The square has been named Sigrid Helliesen Lunds Plass after the founder of Save the Children, and Hasle Tre is the new head office for Save the Children. The ambition has been to create an "open house" based on perceived accessibility and well-being.
The building is a wooden building from inside to outside; load-bearing structure in solid wood and glulam, insulation materials of wood fiber and facade cladding of wood shavings. The majority of the interior surfaces are in wood, treated with a diffusion-open natural oil. Hasle Tre is Norway's first demountable and reusable wooden office building. The supporting structure is designed to use large standard production formats and dimensions as much as possible, with the least possible number of holes in the elements.
The award and the work associated with it is a collaboration between Treteknisk, TreFokus and Byggeindustrien.
