Yet, in the heart of the dense and historic city center, one of the inner harbor’s prime locations has not been developed, but transformed into a lush, green park island, featuring six gardens and a greenhouse. Situated between The Royal Danish Opera and Cobe’s soon-to-be completed Paper Island, The Opera Park offers a green escape from the bustling life of the city.
Hyllie Terrass inagurated with triple certification
Yesterday marked the grand inauguration of Hyllie Terrass, Skanska's new regional office in Malmö, Sweden.

What's more, the building has also achieved LEED Platinum from the U.S. Green Building Council and WELL Gold from the International WELL Building Institute. The certifications have been achieved through a range of measures, from using climate-improved concrete and recycled reinforcements to producing up-cycled furniture from the building's own construction waste, among other things.
