World of Volvo
The World of Volvo project, an all wood experience center where the materials used take the center stage is currently being erected in central Gothenburg. Once finished this will be a new landmark in the city and Lindner Scandinavia are proud of being part of bringing this project to life.
The building’s concept reflects the Swedish “Allemansrätten”, which gives all citizens the right to access any land freely. This idea is deeply rooted in Sweden - from individuals to companies, like Volvo. Therefore, the World of Volvo’s circular design allows visitors to explore the place in various ways.
The project has a strong focus on minimizing environmental impact and will fulfill the demands of LEED level Gold.
