Winners in the various categories of the 12th annual Australian Timber Design Awards (ATDA) were announced in October, at Chapter House, Melbourne. Circa Morris-Nunn Walker snared the main prize with Saffire, a lavish 20 suite resort overlooking Great Oyster Bay, Tasmania. The People's Choice Award went to SKM-S2F for the AIIM Processing and Devices Building at the University of Wollongong. All entered projects -- winners and non-winners -- may be viewed at www.timberawards.com.au

Australian cricketing legend Max Walker served as Master of Ceremonies on the big night. The audience -- a Who's Who of the very best of Australian timber design -- greatly enjoyed his anecdotes about life, cricket and, yes, architecture (Max is a registered architect). The presentation night was a great end to what has been a very good year for the Awards.
