Timber Design News Today

WoodSolutions is organising a special case study-focussed seminar featuring the winning projects at the 2023 Australian Timber Design Awards, all presented by their creators.

 Four Mandela University second-year students in Architectural Technology won third place in the York Timbers, national Timber Design competition, designing a Biodiversity Skills Centre to complement the Lapalala Wilderness School in Limpopo.&nb

Based on biophilic design principles, the three new classrooms were conceptualised by architect Knut Menden as an interim solution involving portable classrooms while working on the GISS masterplan.

This is the 28th year of the award, which celebrates the best in built architecture and structures realised on a small budget: this year up to a contract

Built 13 years ago, Treetops was designed to near Passivhaus standard and sits in the beautiful Angus village of Arbilot.

WoodSolutions is organising a seminar this month that will bring the winners of the 2022 Australian Timber Design Awards on the same platform to present and discuss their winning projects.

The $11.3 million stadium features a glulam timber structure designed and fabricated by Rubner Holzbau, forming part of the top floor of the grandstand and cantilevering for over 8 metres on top of the seating.

The Marrickville Library, Rubner Holzbau’s first project in Australia, is a modern, environmentally sound, multipurpose community centre repurposed from a former hospital.
