The 2022 Annual Australian Timber Design Award winners were announced last night at the Crown Hotel in Sydney. H&E Architects received first prize for their outstanding project, Waterfront Tavern.
The Waterfront Tavern is the centrepiece in an artificial harbour within the expansive and master-planned Shell Cover development south of Wollongong. It acts as both a refuge for residents and a destination for visitors. Lavish and broad in their use of timber, the project team demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and detailing through its undulating forms, exposed interior and exterior surfaces and features.
