Växjö Municipality presented the award on 12 November 2026. Micropower’s headquarters was nominated in the building category and selected as the winner by the municipality.
Wood is used throughout the building - from its structural frame and façade to interior surfaces. This makes wood a defining element of the headquarters’ architecture, atmosphere and identity.
The facility was designed specifically for Micropower’s operations and future growth. Office areas connect directly with production, while shared spaces support interaction, knowledge sharing and closer collaboration across the organization.
Micropower thanks everyone who contributed to the design and development of the new headquarters, and Växjö Municipality for recognizing the building with the Wood Building Award 2026.
The award recognizes projects that demonstrate the potential of wood in an exemplary way, from both an architectural and a sustainability perspective.
