Six structures and two product designs have been announced as the Wood Awards 2021 winners at a ceremony on 25 November held at the Building Centre, London.
Established in 1971, the Wood Awards is the UK’s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in wood. The competition is free to enter and aims to encourage and promote outstanding timber design, craftsmanship and installation.
The independent judging panel visits all the shortlisted projects in person, making this a uniquely rigorous competition.
The Awards are split into two main categories: Buildings and Furniture & Product. Within the Buildings category, there are five subcategories and a Structural Award. Furniture & Product is split into Bespoke and Production. The Gold Award is given to the project that the judges deem to be the winner of winners.
Congratulations to TRADA members Smith & Wallwork, Eurban, James Latham, Price & Myers, International Timber and Stora Enso for their wins!
