CWa are delighted to announce that the Inner Porch project at St.Paul’s Cathedral has received the Best Interior project at the 2023 Wood Awards. The Wood Awards exist to recognise excellence in the design and craftsmanship of timber in contemporary architecture. In a time of climate emergency the promotion of carbon neutral construction has never been more important – and to be counted amongst the exceptional winning schemes was an incredible honour.
Fergus was in attendance at the award ceremony alongside Oliver and Bethan from the Caroe Architects team, as well as representatives of Morton Partnership, Robert McAlpine, Neil Burke Joinery and Buckland Timber – a great moment for the team to reflect and celebrate a great collaborative effort.
The judges’ praised the meticulous sourcing of the English oak for the high quality joinery finish, and the careful detailing of the external lining; taking cues from the sculpted surfaces and proportional rigour of Wren’s masterpiece.
