The fact that there were more than 200 entries to this year’s Wood Awards reaffirms the growing interest among architects and designers in using wood in buildings. And as organiser Michael Buckley, of Turnstone Communications, said: “The sheer diversity of projects from across the UK and Ireland, and the quality of design and installation is an inspiration to all who love wood.”

Pictured on this page is just a selection of the entries. The shortlist for the Awards will be announced on September 23 and an exhibition of the shortlisted entries will be on display at 100% Detail at Earl’s Court, London, September 23-25; the Institute of Wood Science conference in Birmingham, September 30; and at Woodmex at the NEC, October 10-13. The winners will be named at the Wood Awards ceremony at the Carpenters’ Hall, London, on October 19.
