Ottawa, ON, January 6, 2010 - Wood Design & Building magazine is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2009 Wood Design Awards. The Wood Design Awards program is the only North American-wide program that inspires wood building innovation by recognizing achievements in wood architecture annually. Not only is wood beautiful, durable, and cost-effective, it is also the greenest, most sustainable building material. The judging was held at the Canadian Wood Council office in Ottawa on December 18, 2009.

 

Sixteen projects were selected from the 130 total entries to the awards program by our esteemed jury in the following categories: Honor, Merit and Citation. The selection of the sixteen winning projects was challenging for the jury, as all of the projects displayed innovative uses of wood as a building material. These projects push the boundaries of conventional wood building practices and highlight the special qualities, versatility and sheer beauty of wood as a building material.
