The project will be a hybrid solution using a mixture of wood, steel and concrete where each material makes the most sense. This allows modern buildings to take on a strong sustainable push, while maintaining practicality and cost effectiveness. Spans inside the cultural centre call for hybrid timbre steel trusses where clear spans extend beyond 21 m. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2019, and more information can be found here from Dezen.
White Arkitekter paired with Florian Kosche in Sweden have won a competition to design and build an innovative wood skyscraper in Skellefteå, Sweden. The building will function as a cultural centre mixed with a four star hotel covering 16 stories. Currently the project is designed to reach an astonishing 76 m in height, putting in a strong position to be the world's tallest Mass Timber Skyscraper.

Mass Timber projects are popping up around the globe but this one takes on some exceptionally interesting ideas. Anders Berensson Architects have proposed a skyline changing Wood Skyscrapers for downtown Stockholm. The projects is 113 m tall and built above an existing parking garage. The weight of CLT compared to traditional construction methods was a key determining factor in its choice as the structural system. The positive environmental benefits of the project were also key to the choice of CLT.
The project is wrapped in an artistically stylized facade which not only works as a sunshade for the interior of the structure but also allows easy counting of the floors as this will be the tallest building in Stockholm. The project has been named Trätoppen which means the tree top. More can be found for the project on Anders Berensson's blog HERE.
