23rd Australian Timber Design Awards Winners Announced

The Annual Australian Timber Design Award winners for 2022 have been announced, with H&E Architects receiving first prize for their outstanding project – Waterfront Tavern.

The Waterfront Tavern is the centrepiece in an artificial harbour within the expansive and master planned Shell Cover development south of Wollongong. It acts as both a refuge for residents and a destination for visitors. Lavish and broad in their use of timber, the project team demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and detailing through its undulating forms, exposed interior and exterior surfaces and features.
