Exciting News from the 2024 Australian Timber Design Awards! We are thrilled to announce that Theca Timber has won two awards for our work on the Michael Kirby Building at Macquarie University: - Excellence in Timber Design (Public Building) - People’s Choice Award The Michael Kirby Building showcases how we transformed a 1980s concrete structure into a modern, sustainable, timber-framed masterpiece using cross-laminated timber (CLT). This innovation not only reduces the building’s carbon footprint but also creates a warm, collaborative environment for learning. Our two directors, Adam Shears and Paolo Aschieri, were accompanied by our NSW State Manager Timothy Devlin to attend this important event in Sydney. We are so proud to have been recognised in the presence of esteemed peers and industry professionals. We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you—our amazing followers—for voting in the People’s Choice Award. Your support means everything to us, and we couldn’t have achieved this without you! From preserving key structural elements of the original building to incorporating a stunning central atrium, scenic lift, and cantilevered CLT meeting rooms, this four-storey structure now stands as a world-class example of educational architecture. Thank you to the Australian Timber Design Awards for this incredible recognition, and to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Here's to more innovative, sustainable projects in the future!
