At the end of June 2019, jury members, Pavel Horak, Ivan Jonker, Mano Kalos, and Richard Stretton, were faced with the difficult task ofa choosing only one design out of the ten notable final projects. The winner of the Timber Competition was Carla Jooste, secondprize went to Fundokuhle Kubeka and thirdprize was awarded to Monique Visagie. The winner for the 'most popular' project on Facebook was Walter Lombard. Participants were invited to design a conceptual draft of a timber structure home for a South African family with three children. Limited only by the criteria of sustainability and a use of timber, much of the design - including the needs of the family and the representation of South Africa - was open for interpretation by the contestants, creating variety and insightfulness among the final projects. Results range from an interpretive take on social housing in the tight townships of Cape Town, to superfluous mansions in the sprawling South African hills.
