The winners of the annual Wood Awards\u00a0have been announced at a ceremony held yesterday (21 November) at Carpenters\u2019 Hall in London<\/h2>\n

Hosted by Johanna Agerman Ross, Founder of Disegno magazine and Curator of Twentieth Century and Contemporary Furniture and Product Design at the V&A, the Wood Awards is the UK\u2019s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in the world\u2019s only naturally sustainable material. The Wood Awards aims to recognise, encourage and promote outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation using wood.<\/p>\n

Arnold Laver Gold award & Interiors winner<\/h3>\n

\"woodCoastal House, Devon by 6a architects<\/a>, has been awarded the Arnold Laver Gold Award. The project was also the Interiors category winner. The interior of this house uses timber in several different ways to create a home which feels natural and unaffected.<\/p>\n

Coastal House, Devon is an early-twentieth century family home with extensive views of the sea. The house has been transformed by stripping it back to its stone walls. Originally raised on a plinth above a basement, the ground-floor has been lowered to the level of the ground. This has increased the size of the rooms and created elongated openings to the outside. A series of oak beams make up the exposed primary structure. The internal spaces have been completely reconfigured. Three floors on the north end of the house connect to two floors on the south. Each space has a distinct volume and ceiling height, with the central stair offering clear views through the whole house. Tapered oak verticals are used as supports throughout, including primary drawing room columns, external veranda posts and the stair spindles.<\/p>\n

\"woodCommercial & Leisure<\/h3>\n

The judges selected Rievaulx Abbey Visitor Centre & Museum as the Commercial & Leisure winner as it does something highly unusual \u2013 it creates an abstract, numinous space using timber as an expressed structure.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project was to upgrade the museum building to meet modern curatorial standards, encourage visitors into the ruins, and improve facilities.<\/p>\n

Education & Public Sector<\/h3>\n

Maggie\u2019s Oldham was chosen as the Education & Public Sector winner. dRMM <\/a>created a sensitive interior that is also a world-first.<\/p>\n

Built in the grounds of NHS cancer hospitals, Maggie\u2019s Centres offer free practical and emotional support for people affected by cancer. The design of Maggie\u2019s Oldham is less about form and more about content.<\/p>\n

Supported on slender columns, the building floats above a garden framed by pine, birch and tulip poplar trees. From a central oasis, a tree grows up through the building, bringing nature inside. Maggie\u2019s Oldham is the first permanent building constructed from sustainable tulipwood CLT. The slatted ceiling was created from wood left over from the CLT fabrication process, ensuring no waste. Externally the building is draped in custom-fluted, thermally modified tulipwood.<\/p>\n

\"woodPrivate<\/h3>\n

The winner of the Private category was Hampshire Passivhaus<\/a>. The judges were impressed by the design, craftsmanship and attention to detail.<\/p>\n

Hampshire Passivhaus is a self-build home on the south coast. It is an L-shaped detached dwelling, creating private courtyard spaces, on a tight brownfield site with multiple neighbours. Spruce CLT panels form the entire super structure, walls, floors and roof. The spruce panels give a tactile and harmonious quality to the living spaces and bedrooms. The prefabricated CLT superstructure was complete and watertight in just four days.<\/p>\n

Small project<\/h3>\n

Feilden Fowles <\/a>master-planned Waterloo City Farm from the design of animal pens, sheltered outdoor classroom and barn, to their new studio which was offered in exchange for their design services. The positioning of the studio against the north boundary creates a south-facing courtyard garden. The timber frame structure clad with corrugated Onduline sheets can be dismantled and re-erected when the lease comes to an end. The materiality and approach are reminiscent of agricultural building forms.<\/p>\n

Structural Award<\/h3>\n

The Smile was awarded this year\u2019s Structural Award, which was chosen from all the buildings shortlisted in each category. The judges were impressed by the ease with which The Smile masked some impressive and complex engineering.<\/p>\n

Conceived as a habitable arc, The Smile was a 3.5m high, 4.5m wide and 34m long curved timber tube that cantilevered 12m in two directions with viewing platforms at both ends. Up to 60 visitors could enter at one time through an opening where the arc touched the ground. Innovative solutions using long screws were developed, allowing the opening to be in the most highly stressed region. The Smile was the first project in the world to use large hardwood CLT panels, the entire structure was made from just 12 tulipwood panels, each up to 14m long and 4.5m wide.<\/p>\n

\"woodBespoke<\/h3>\n

The winner of the Bespoke category was the Time and Texture Installation (\u2018A Landscape of Objects\u2019). The judges praised the body of work which shows control and expression of the material.<\/p>\n

Time and Texture is an installation of works forming part of \u2018A Landscape of Objects\u2019, a site-specific exhibition set in the gardens of Forde Abbey, curated by Flow Gallery for Somerset Art Works. The brief was to reference both the shapes, colours and texture of the gardens and buildings and the importance of water on the site. The installation is formed of three hollowed vessels on rusted plinths and four solid forms designed to show how natural elements erode and work away at materials. Through building up layers of texture through carving and sandblasting away the softer wood, it is possible to show how natural elements and processes layer and colour wood.<\/p>\n

\"woodProduction Made<\/h3>\n

The judges awarded the Narin Chair the Production Made award for its elegant, distinctive, logical and comfortable design.<\/p>\n

Student Designer<\/h3>\n

Within the Student Designer category there are two cash prizes; \u00a31,000 for Winner and \u00a3500 for People\u2019s Choice.<\/p>\n

The category winner was Mark Laban\u2019s Rustic Stool 1.0. The judges praised this new typology that creates a new aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Through manipulating the machine’s software, unexpected and unconventional surfaces are created. These artificially generated rough textures begin to evoke the raw state of the material in its natural form. The stool is part of Mark Laban’s Digital Daiku collection, which interprets traditional Japanese aesthetic principles and explores their possibilities using contemporary digital manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Choice Award was given to Damian Robinson\u2019s Hex Drinks Cabinet which was inspired by a bees\u2019 nest found in the maker\u2019s garden.<\/p>\n

Arnold Laver <\/a>sponsors the Arnold Laver Gold Award which is the project that the judges deem to be the best of all the winners.<\/p>\n

Major Sponsors included American Hardwood Export Council, the Carpenters’ Company, TRADA and the London Design Fair.<\/p>\n

Other Sponsors comprised of American Softwoods, Forestry Commission, Timber Trade Federation, Wood for Good, the Furniture Makers\u2019 Company and Party Ingredients.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
