PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The judges found the glulam timber frame over the pool area to be an elegant, low maintenance and durable structure incorporating many sustainability factors, including solar thermal panels, drainage systems and high level of natural lighting. Making use of durable materials with low maintenance requirements helped make this a cost-effective solution to the community’s vision for a swimming, dance, fitness and community hub.
