A climate-smart house

Sara kulturhus is a 20-storey building constructed from wood from the forests surrounding Skellefteå. It follows in Skellefteå's long tradition of constructing buildings in wood. Also, the use of solar cells and an efficient energy strategy help to minimise the building's carbon footprint.

Sara kulturhus’s energy solution is sustainable and kind

Skellefteå’s new cultural center is not only a pioneer in the use of renewable energy but is also providing clean power to its central Skellefteå neighbors.

Recycling is the new ‘new’

We recycle and reuse. For the sake of the environment and to bring new life to old things.

Sara kulturhus - wood, sustainability, and Spider-Man!

Skellefteå’s resplendent new 20-story wooden cultural center is an architectural masterpiece that celebrates timber and challenges local window cleaners.

A locally produced wooden house

With its local raw materials, production, and construction, the building has a strong connection to Skellefteå.

A sustainable energy solution

The building is a benchmark facility in which a renewable energy solution is being developed.

We drink tap water

Sara Kulturhus is labelled "kranmärkt". So here you can drink delicious, fresh tap water instead of bottled water.

Building in wood has a distinguished past and a bright future

Wood - once thought old-fashioned - is taking over from steel and concrete as the building material of choice because of its sustainability, high quality, and the way it enables swift construction, such as with Skellefteå’s new 20-story wooden cultural center, Sara kulturhus.
