Arlanda’s new living room
The architecture of Verandan is light, open and welcoming—reflecting the Nordic qualities of simplicity, warmth and functionality. A visible glulam structure is one of the project’s defining features, with beams extending up to 18 metres. The exposed wooden columns and roof create a strong architectural character and a sense of spaciousness rarely found in airport environments.
Sustainability at the forefront
Sustainability was a key driver throughout the project. We explored ways to reuse and recycle existing façade glass to minimise the carbon footprint. The amount of steel in the façade and framing was reduced, and existing natural stone floors were carefully polished and preserved instead of being replaced. We also used low-impact concrete to further reduce environmental impact.
