Roofscape Design Awards – deadline extended
20 March 2024The deadline for the Trussed Rafter Association (TRA)’s Roofscape Design Awards has been extended.
The awards recognise projects that showcase the highest design, innovation, and sustainability standards in using timber-trussed rafter roofs.
The Roofscape Design Awards will recognise excellence in three categories: Commercial Project of the Year (for all non-domestic projects), Conversion and Refurbishment Project of the Year (for existing housing projects), and Residential Project of the Year (for newbuild dwellings).
Last year’s winners included Harry Peate (Truss Form (Midlands) Ltd), who designed the roof for a Grade II listed structure built over 180 years ago; Gemma Weston (DWB Anglia) who created an open habitable roof space without vertical posts or large steel structures; and Sue Darbyshire’s (Donaldson Timber Engineering) complex design which facilitated the installation of a mechanical and electrical component while allowing the external roof envelope to be covered.
Designers within TRA member companies should submit their entries by Friday March 22 at 11:59pm via the TRA website. www.tra.org.uk
