10 top mass timber buildings opening in 2025Friday 28 Feb 2025
We’ve curated a selection of ten from over 2,000 new projects supplied by Stora Enso set to launch this year. Each building exemplifies the versatility and cutting-edge advancements in construction that significantly reduce emissions using climate-conscious materials and biophilic design. The World Expo 2025, Osaka, Japan The 2025 World Expo in Osaka promises to be a showcase of global innovation, and the Czech pavilion made from a prefabricated mass timber kit of parts (Sylva™ by Stora Enso delivered by A2 Timber) is a standout example. The breathtaking geometric design concept, rooted in the principle of raw material efficiency, ensured rapid on-site assembly. Expect to see a 260-meter-(853 ft) long educational trail, with views of Osaka Bay, and a multifunctional auditorium that will offer a rich program throughout the entire exhibition. A must-visit for anyone passionate about architecture and environmental stewardship. Timber Square, Bankside, UK In the heart of London, Timber Square, designed by Bennett’s Associates is poised to become a landmark of sustainable urban development. Landsec’s mammoth 370,000 square feet scheme reconstructs a former printworks into two office-led timber buildings (15 floors and 10 floors high) combining retail units and leafy, public space. It is set to be the largest commercial development in the UK to cross-laminated timber, delivered by Hybrid Structures and will be one of the most vibrant new hubs for work and leisure.
