"The Royal Park Canvas Sapporo Odori Park" won the wooden structure category at the 1st HOKKAIDO WOOD BUILDING Awards.

We are pleased to announce that "The Royal Park Canvas Sapporo Odori Park," a building designed by our company, received an award in the wooden structure category at the 1st "HOKKAIDO WOOD BUILDING Awards" hosted by Hokkaido Prefecture, and the awards ceremony was held on February 16th.

"HOKKAIDO WOOD BUILDING" is a system that registers buildings made using Hokkaido-produced timber products, with the aim of increasing awareness and expanding the use of Hokkaido-produced timber products. This work was registered as the first building under this system in October 2021.
The "HOKKAIDO WOOD BUILDING Award" was established in 2025 with the aim of recognizing building owners, designers, and contractors whose works, among those registered under this system, are particularly exemplary and are expected to have a significant impact on promoting the use of wood in construction and woodworking.

This building was recognized as a worthy example of greatly expanding the possibilities for promoting wooden construction in urban areas, and for its advanced features and technical challenges, such as the use of CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) in its formwork construction method, as well as its potential to contribute to the future spread and development of wooden construction.
