Varnhemsgatan preschool

Varnhemsgatan Preschool, which was finished in 2026, accommodates eight departments as well as a modern on-site kitchen and has been designed to create a safe, warm and natural environment for both children and staff. The building features a locally sourced structural frame made of cross-laminated timber (CLT), and the interior walls are clad with Frontwood three-layer spruce panels. This gives the premises a soft and harmonious expression, where wood contributes to a calmer indoor environment.

"We at ABCD Bygg are proud to build in wood, as it enables us to create healthy and pleasant environments while making a conscious and sustainable material choice with a low climate impact. The collaboration with Södra has worked very well throughout the project. We have maintained a close dialogue during both the design and delivery phases, which has been crucial in keeping up the pace and ensuring quality", says David Olausson Toft at ABCD Bygg.

Using wood as a structural material makes it possible to reduce climate impact, shorten construction time and create a more comfortable indoor environment – qualities that make it particularly well suited for preschool and residential settings. Södra is proud to contribute to the development of sustainable urban environments of the future, where the strength, versatility and climate benefits of wood play a central role.
