Structural Timber Awards 2022: A Celebration of Sustainable Construction
Featuring compelling examples of what can be achieved using the most natural and sustainable of materials, the 2022 Structural Timber Awards were a celebration of not only outstanding projects and inspiring individuals, but the coming together of an industry, yet again.
Timber continues to stand at the core of success across so many sustainable construction projects. This, combined with enhanced speed and performance benefits, are just some of the reasons for the abundance of exceptional projects. Highlighting why the industry turns out in force at the Structural Timber Awards, year after year, to reward and celebrate this success. Construction professionals were once again invited to congregate at this prestigious awards ceremony on 12 October at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham - to celebrate architectural achievements and engineering ingenuity in timber construction.
The 2022 Structural Timber Awards were hosted by Holly Walsh, who ensured that the celebrations were not only inspirational, but also highly entertaining. With 16 categories, nearly 250 entrants and over 60 companies shortlisted, the Structural Timber Awards judges had a difficult task.
The big winner on the night was Ramboll for Clifford's Tower, picking up the trophy for Retail & Leisure Project of the Year, alongside the all-important Winner of Winners award. The judge's commendations for Clifford's Tower ranged from: 'one of the best interventions in a historical structure I've seen' to 'elegant and memorable heritage intervention which brings the monument back to life' - highlighting the winning project's impressive attributes.
The head of the judging panel and Chief Executive of the Structural Timber Association, Andrew Carpenter said of the night: "I have been hugely impressed with the breadth and quality of entries that have been received. It is truly inspiring to see so much activity in the sector and to witness so much innovation taking place."
