Traditionally wood has been used to make elegant buildings. As of now, most of the buildings are made in wood, cement and concrete. Still, there are buildings made entirely in wood. They serve as a token of admiration for the beauty and versatility of the wooden structures. In recognition of this fact, each year the Wood Products council of North America holds the WoodWorks competition. The most beautiful and elegant buildings compete in that competition. Here, we present 14 of the most beautiful designs from 2015 edition of the competition. Discover without delay.
