Wood WORKS! CANADIAN WOOD COUNCIL AWARDS
February 26, 2008
Wakefield Beach is pleased to announce that Helliwell & Smith / Blue Sky Architecture and Teryl Mullock Architect for Wakefield Beach Homes were awarded Wood!WORKS Canadian Wood Council Award for Multi-Unit Residential Wood Design for their work at Wakefield Beach.
Category Description:
The multi-unit residential category includes multi-family and mixed use residential buildings. Consideration is given to the variety of wood applications and products used throughout the building, both structurally and architecturally.
Jury’s Comments:
This winning project was an innovative design for a multi-unit residential project. The project used wood for all framing and roof structures, with curving vault roofs formed by fir posts, beams and decking. The jury was impressed with the innovative design and beautiful use of wood in this type of a project. Exposed wood surfaces and details give the buildings visual warmth, making them a joy to inhabit. Fir log posts, maple flooring, wood trim, cabinets and doors, combined with cedar shingles, cedar exterior trims and decks and cedar landscaping screens and split cedar fences put this multi family project in a league of its own.
