◄ The new library is an arrangement of simple brick volumes with timber windows and pitched roofs that echo the gabled architecture of the college. The interior spaces are created by a glulam and CLT structure, supported on load bearing brickwork and populated with oak shelves and tables. The roof is a grid of timber lanterns with glazed gables separated by wide internal gutters. Designed by Niall McLaughlin Architects,

the CLT structure was courtesy of Eurban, while the glulam structure was down to Neue Holzbau. The wood supplier was James Latham and joinery was by Wedd Joinery, Piper Joinery and Trojanwood Joinery. The species used were spruce (from Switzerland and Austria) and oak (from Switzerland, Italy and Croatia). UK Douglas fir, Siberian larch and Spanish poplar plywood were the materials of choice for The Alice Hawthorn, which won the Commercial & Leisure category. This community-led project saw the addition of 12 guest bedrooms – eight of which are entirely of timber frame construction – to a village pub in Nun Monkton, North Yorkshire.
The design, by De Matos Ryan architects, reflects the rural environment, with the Douglas fir framed buildings using authentic agricultural building materials, including a single layer of tight-grained larch cladding, used externally. Internally there is a sarking layer of fireshield poplar ply. The wood supplier was East Brothers and the joinery was by Timber Workshop. The cladding and windows were by Lea & Micklethwait.
The winner of the Interiors category was St John Street, a large Victorian apartment in London.
The apartment opens directly into the library space, a rectangular room lined entirely in solid oak joinery. Oak chevron parquet features in the living and sleeping spaces and sliding oak pocket doors enable doorways to be fully opened, creating lateral views from one end of the apartment to the other.
The design was by Emile Eve Architects and the joinery was by Harbour Joinery Workshop. Species used were European oak, Latvian birch plywood and Accoya. Meanwhile, the winner of the Private category was The Boathouse, designed by Adam Collingwood Architects.
