Technical innovation and beauty present amongst 2022 Wood Design Awards winners

The winning entries to the 2022 Wood Design Awards have been revealed by WoodWorks – Wood Products Council this morning. The annual awards program celebrates excellence and innovation in wood building design, recognizing designers for their skill and ingenuity with the material. 

Nominations from across the country were evaluated by an independent jury consisting of Jordan Komp, VP and Office Director, Thornton, Tomasetti, Milwaukee, WI; Steve Durham, Executive VP and Director of Collegiate, Kirksey Architects, Houston, TX; and Thang Do, CEO/Principal, Aedis Architects, San Jose, CA.

“Wood stands the test of time as a nimble and sustainable building material. From a public library in DC to the first mass timber hotel in Texas to a ferry terminal in Washington, this year’s winning projects showcase wood’s flexibility on scales small and large,” said WoodWorks President and CEO, Jennifer Cover.
