WoodWorks – Wood Products Council has announced the winners of the 2024 Wood in Architecture awards. These awards celebrate excellence and innovation in mass timber, heavy timber, light-frame, and hybrid building design. The annual program recognizes developers and design teams who use wood in innovative ways that have a positive impact on the environment, occupants, and communities throughout the U.S.
“In schools, offices, and community gathering spaces, this year’s winning projects exemplify wood’s undeniably positive influence in modern design. To the designers whose ingenuity and dedication make innovative wood projects happen—thank you for inspiring others to consider wood solutions, across building types and at any scale,” said WoodWorks President and CEO, Jennifer Cover.
The winning projects demonstrate innovative design from all across the country and highlight wood as a key element in sustainable and adaptable design. The winners include an office building with a nearly all-mass timber frame in a high-seismic area, a temporary outdoor structure that represents environmental justice, educational and institutional buildings, and multi-family housing. An independent panel of design and building professionals evaluated and selected the winning projects based on four criteria: design excellence, innovative use of wood, sustainability and resilience, and market impact.
