Celebrate the best use of timber in construction.

The Timber Design Awards highlight the latest advances in New Zealand’s timber construction capability.

After a COVID-forced hiatus, the awards will be celebrated with a Gala Dinner at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland on the 2nd of November, 2023.

Now more than ever, it’s important we recognise and celebrate the engineers, architects, architectural designers and builders who push boundaries and embrace change by championing nature’s greatest building material, sourced from the country’s renewable natural resource base–forests.

Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner on the 2nd of November at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland.

Good luck to all the finalists!
