Finalists Announced for Resene NZ Wood Timber Design Awards


NZ Wood has announced the eagerly-awaited Stage One Finalists for the Resene Timber Design Awards 2017.

“We’re delighted to have had strong support again this year,” said Debbie Fergie, NZ Wood’s Promotion Manager. “Our stand out this year has been multiple entries by architects and designers.”

She explained that competition had been extremely tight, with many entries missing out by only one point. “Thank you to everyone who entered the awards,” she said. “We hope you will be encouraged to enter again in the future.”

Stage Two of the judging process will take place on February 8, when category winners and the supreme winner will be decided. All winners will be announced at a gala awards dinner at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland on 9 March 2017.

This year’s judging panel comprises professionals from a variety of engineering and architectural backgrounds, who are eminently qualified to assess the innovation displayed and quality exhibited.
