Quality Hotel Friends Expansion with CLT Structures

Stort konferanserom til Friends Arena

The Quality Hotel Friends expansion project, located in Solna, Sweden, is a notable addition to the largest shopping center in Scandinavia and the multi-functional Friends sports arena. The project includes the construction of one of the largest conference rooms in Sweden. PEAB Sverige AB served as the main contractor, with architectural design by Wingårdh Arkitektkontor AB and development by Strawberry Properties. The project was completed in 2020.

Tre-glass fasade og lettvektsmaterialer

Lignas AB was contracted to carry out an extensive scope of works, which included the production and assembly of 3,600 m2 of wood-glass facade elements. Additionally, the project involved the use of 2,200 m3 of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam elements. These materials were chosen for their lightweight properties, making them suitable for building atop the existing hotel structure without compromising structural integrity.

Komposittpaneler gjør byggeprosessen effektiv

The project also featured 1,900 m2 of composite overlay panels, consisting of CLT and Glulam, rock wool, and airtight plaster, all of which were fully prepared in the group's factory. Furthermore, 360 m2 of solid glass facades were added to expand the hotel's breakfast hall, enhancing the overall guest experience. This method not only optimized the construction process but also provided a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials.
