The 2015 Intergrain Timber Vision Awards were announced at a breakfast event on Thursday 20 August. The annual awards program recognizes creative and inspired applications of timber in both commercial and residential projects.
From over 100 entries, 13 projects were recognized across five categories, with one Overall Winner. The Overall Winner for 2015 was the Library at the Dock project by Clare Design, which also won the Commercial Interior Award.
“After five years of the Intergrain Timber Vision Awards, we continue to be astounded by the breadth and beauty of timber use in Australian design,” said Amanda Chalmers, Intergrain Brand Manager – Trade. “We were moved by the simplicity and honesty of this year’s entries. Each winning project has its own unique qualities, yet collectively they embody Australia’s desire to showcase timber thoughtfully and let the true quality of the material speak for itself.”
Category winners each received a $2,000 cash prize and $3,000 worth of Intergrain products. On the jury were: Richard Kirk (KIRK), Jane Irwin (Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture), Kendra Pinkus (Bates Smart) and Cameron Bruhn (Architecture Media).
