Europe's Largest Logistic Center Using Timber and Straw

“While logistics centers may not traditionally be seen as hubs of design ambition, the design of Logistics Center West represents a fundamental change in how we can reimagine this typology. Here, sustainability is not an afterthought but an inherent part of the design.”

Eva Ravnborg (Director, Henning Larsen)

A logistics hub where prefabricated straw panels and mass timber demonstrate how bio-based construction can apply, using over 23,600 m³ of mass timber and 40,900 m² of straw wall panels, within industrial building typologies of this scale. The Green Hill project applies EcoCocon straw panels within a large-format commercial structure, combining industrialised prefabrication with renewable materials. The project challenges the assumption that straw and bio-based systems are limited to small or domestic buildings, showing their potential for high-performance, large-span construction.
