Stress and performance related sick leaves is a growing problem in architecture schools. This work aims to find a way to work with a project that includes physical and mental well-being. By tracking everything we do, consume, feel and other external circumstances we have built up a large base of information about ourselves. Data that we have analyzed and tried to understand when and why we are doing well, and if it has any relation to how we work. To have something to measure against, we have created a architectural project, in form of a full scale volume. The design process fore this volume is made from ourselves and our bodies, in extension the data. The two tracks has been very codependent, and could not function without each other. The project has worked as a guid, a help for us in our further life as architects. We are two people with different way of thinking. We have different results on what’s working. We want to convey that this project is very personal and not a general manual for architects. It is a study in how one can think to finding a working-method that is good for one's self.

The shortage of housing increases the demand for apartment buildings, while pressing climate change forces the construction sector to reduce its carbon footprint. In this context, solid wood and engineered wood products have been shown to be a more sustainable alternative to traditional building materials.  The present study investigates how living in wooden high-rise apartments impacts the wellbeing of its occupants. Nine people currently living in high-rise wooden buildings were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The data was processed using a qualitative content analysis. The residents expressed having a “clear conscience” regarding their choice of housing and were proud to contribute to sustainability from an ecological perspective. In addition, the majority of the participants linked exposed wood in the indoor and outdoor living environment to feelings of comfort and wellbeing. In general, the touch of wood was perceived as softer, warmer and more alive than other materials such as stone. The conclusion points towards the outdoor and indoor environment of wooden high-rise buildings having a positive effect on the wellbeing of its residents.
