Paris-based studio Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architects<\/a> has unveiled plans for a data centre<\/a> in Sweden<\/a>, which will be housed in silo<\/a>-like forms built from structural stone<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architects<\/a> first developed proposals for stone data centres across Europe, named Stone Clouds, in 2022 for cloud service provider Evroc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The studio has received planning approval to build its first Stone Cloud near Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which will begin construction this year.<\/p>\n

Working with engineering firm Webb Yates<\/a> and local architecture studio Metod Arkitekter<\/a>, the Sweden-based Stone Cloud will be made from standardised structural granite<\/a> panels, chosen for their high compressive strength and lower carbon footprint compared to concrete.<\/p>\n

By building with sustainable materials, Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architects hopes to reduce the environmental impact of data centres, which consume a large amount of energy and require vast amounts of water for cooling.<\/p>\n

“The aim is to lower the carbon footprint of data centres through smarter, sustainable buildings that last, that can be converted or eventually recycled,” studio founder Carl Fredrik Svenstedt told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Where there is stone, massive walls give inertia to stabilise temperatures throughout the seasons, while ensuring security and solidity for these strategic sites,” Svenstedt continued. “The significant amount of energy used is reduced, conserved and recycled.”<\/p>\n

Two oval-shaped towers will enclose rectangular cores containing servers, with the surrounding curved space containing access, supply and cooling shafts.<\/p>\n

The cylindrical volumes will be placed atop a triangular base, which will contain electrical and mechanical spaces, a recuperation plant, a maintenance hall and offices.<\/p>\n
