Mei architects and planners have completed SAWA, a 164-foot-tall residential building in Rotterdam’s Lloydkwartier district. Designed for Nice Developers and ERA Contour, the project is described by the team as “the healthiest building in the Netherlands,” constructed primarily from cross-laminated timber. The scheme is one of several mentioned in our recent feature article on the Dutch city. …SAWA is built largely from CLT, with concrete and steel kept to a minimum. According to the project team, more than 90% of the main load-bearing structure consists of wood. The use of CLT was intended to reduce carbon emissions, store CO2 within the building material and shorten construction time compared with traditional concrete construction.
