“Why would you want wood to look uniform?” asks innovative furniture maker Sebastian Cox, collaborating with emerging sculptor Laura Ellen Bacon to create an architectural sculpture that challenges preconceived limitations of timber usage.
In celebration of the versatility of timber, the challenge is to produce all projects using a single material – American hardwood.
The RACV resort by Wood Marsh Architects is an impressive structure that includes a five-star hotel with conference and gaming facilities, a golf clubhouse and underground parking.
Architects and designers of all shortlisted projects will be invited to attend the 2014 WAF and give a live presentation to a panel of judges, asserting their case for why their project should win.
