2011 Overall Winner - Circa Morris-Nunn Walker -
Saffire
The
winners
of the 2011 Australian Timber Design Awards have been announced!
The main winner is Circa Morris-Nunn Walker for Saffire a lavish 20 suite resort overlooking Great Oyster Bay, Tasmania.
The judging panel was wowed by the manner in which the Saffire resort responds to its bushland surroundings. The organic curves of the resort roofs rise gradually above the bush like small hills, reminiscent of the gentle peaks of the nearby Hazard Ranges. These complex curves could not have been achieved without the design flexibility of pre-fabricated structural timber – a fact that ultimately gave Saffire the edge over other timber-rich finalists.
Winners of all categories were announced on October 18 at Chapter House, Melbourne. Major figures from the design community were on hand to enjoy what has become the premier event in the timber design calendar.
See the full list of winners.
Thank you to our judges, our sponsors and, most of all, the many members of the Australian timber design and architecture community who entered projects. The success of the 2011 Australian Timber Design Awards
-- Australasia's foremost timber design and architectural awards – is due to you. |

2007 Residential Class 1 Best Renovation - Richard Kirk Architect -
Dekkers Residence
There's still time to submit an entry for the Australian Timber Design Awards, but don't delay: entries
must be in by 5 PM July 15. And if you've signed up but haven't yet completed your entry, please don't leave
things to the last moment. The earlier you get started, the more help we can give you.
If you're having problems with your entry, give us a call on 02 8424 3700 or send an email to

.
You may, for instance, need a little guidance on writing your project description or on addressing some of
the supplementary questions. The most common problem is with project galleries: remember to upload a zip
file of your images, not of the directory/folder containing your images.
Been working on a project that you think could be a winner? Have a look at our
entry categories
and our
galleries of previous winners.
And when you're ready to start on your online entry, fill in a

2008 Residential Class 1, New Buildings - Highly Commended - Ashton Raggatt McDougall -
K House
The submission deadline of the Australian Timber Design Awards
has been extended to July 15! This gives those architects and design professionals still working on their
submissions a little extra time to get everything finalised. And if you've already submitted your entry but
want to make further changes to it, email us at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
and we'll turn the edit facility for your entry back on.
This extension accommodates the many requests we've received from architects for extra time in which
to track down missing images and confirm timber certification. Veterans of architectural awards know
that the final week before a cutoff date can be frantic. We hope this change has made things a little
easier on our participants.
Got a project that you think could be a winner? Have a look at our
entry categories
and
last year's winners.
