From an imaginative childrenโs playground and waterfront library to a tiny cabin perched atop rugged Victorian cliffs, the winners of the sixth annual Intergrain Timber Vision Awardsย areย creative, diverse and visionary.
Faced with 124 exceptional entries, a panel of esteemed judges chose winners across five categories including: commercial interior, commercial exterior, residential interior, residential exterior, and this yearโs new category โ public space. Each winner received a $2,000 cash prize and Intergrain product to the value of $3,000.
The overall winner (and also taking home the commercial interior award) was Clare Design for The Library at The Dock. Located in Melbourne, the project was celebrated by the judges for utilisingย timber to its fullest, from surface to structure. The result is a quality public building that is โboth timeless and modernโ.
Another standout wasย the residential interior award, which was won by Taylor and Hinds Architects for Tasmania’sย Lagoon House.ย The judges commented on the โability of the design to gently bring the inside outโ and were impressed by a use of timber that is โso solid and delicate, simple and beautiful.โ
The public space award won by Sue Barnsley Design forย Jubilee Playground is also worthy of mention. Situated in Sydney’s Glebe,ย the use of timber is not only educational, but โstylistic, free and with a sense of adventureโ, such as the handcrafted, pod-like cubby house hidden within a fig tree.
