These awards are the premier space for architects, engineers and others to profile their recent work with locally-sourced timber and wood-based products, manufactured in New Zealand.
Continued advances in wood processing and engineered wood products to improve timber’s properties means this medium is proving to be a sustainable and costeffective alternative to other construction systems.
This year’s new category is ‘Multi-Storey Timber Building Design’ and has been added to showcase designs of multi-storey timber buildings in New Zealand.
The 2018 judging panel comprises Pamela Bell (PreFab NZ); David Carradine (Timber Design Society); Tim Melville (NZIA) and Andrea Stocchero (Scion – Sustainable Architect).
Entries must be for projects completed between 1 March 2016 and 28 February 2018,
and projects must have significant timber content.
