Residential Project of the Year for The Copper House in partnership with Timber Innovations.

This was a brilliant project that they worked on in collaboration with Adrian James Architects. Wyckham Blackwell provided the complex truss arrangement which formed the cladding support and novel use of shape and Timber Innovations provided the highly insulated timber frame.

The award acknowledges the hard work and expertise of the Wyckham Blackwell and Timber Innovations design teams, with special thanks to Phil Morgan the lead designer on the Copper House project for Wyckham Blackwell.
