由 White Arkitekter 设计的位于谢莱夫特奥的萨拉文化中心正式向公众开放。该项目包含最先进的文化场馆和酒店，在为当地社区做出积极贡献的同时，也成为了可持续设计和建造的国际范例。这座 75 米高的负碳建筑是世界上最高的木结构塔楼之一，它代表了谢莱夫特奥本地建筑类型的革新。

A new cultural centre in Skellefteå by White Arkitekter is opening its doors to the public for the very first time. Sara Cultural Centre delivers a state-of-the-art cultural venue and hotel that positively contributes to the local community while at the same time being an international showcase for sustainable design and construction. Standing at 75-metres tall, the carbon-negative* building is one of the world’s tallest timber towers and a new typology for creativity in Skellefteå.

在经历现代化之前，谢莱夫特奥的市中心拥有丰富的木造建筑传统，而萨拉文化中心的落成则标志着这一城市遗产的复兴。建筑结合了传统材料与现代技术，将谢莱夫特奥美术馆、Anna Nordlander 博物馆、Västerbotten 地区剧院、新城市图书馆以及带有餐厅、温泉和会议中心的 Wood 酒店统一在同一个场地内。其中，酒店拥有 20 个楼层，客人可以从这里俯瞰到紧挨着北极圈的拉普兰地区的壮观景象。

Located in Skellefteå, a city which had a rich tradition of timber architecture before the city centre was modernised, Sara Cultural Centre marks the revival of the city’s heritage. Combining traditional materials with modern technology, Sara Cultural Centre is home to Skellefteå Art Gallery, Museum Anna Nordlander, Västerbotten Regional Theatre, the new City Library and The Wood Hotel with a restaurant, spa and conference centre. The 20-storey hotel offers dramatic views for miles over Skellefteå, located just below the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland.

该项目由政府发起，目的是帮助谢莱夫特奥成为更具吸引力的地区。作为国际设计竞赛的优胜者，White Arkitekter 提出的木结构高层建筑方案赢得了广泛的赞誉，并在 2018 年分别获得 MIPIM 颁发的“最佳未来项目奖”以及 MIPIM/The Architectural Review 颁发的“公民和社区未来项目奖”。

Initiated by the municipality as a key driver to make Skellefteå a more attractive region, the 30,000 sqm high-rise timber project, won by White Arkitekter in an international design competition, is already the recipient of international accolades including MIPIM’s 2018 Best Future Project and MIPIM/The Architectural Review’s 2018 Civic & Community Future Project Award.
