JUDGE COMMENT “Exquisite design in terms of function, restraint, materials, fixtures and integration withremaining living space . . . One of my favorites, the use of green materials like concrete and bamboo in avery stylish way is refreshing . . . It's functional. It's dynamic but not overdone. It's highly detailed in a subtle but delightful way.”

JUDGE COMMENT “Strong sculptured spaces but don’t know what is past and what is present . . . This white building contrasts with the surrounding landscape with a purity of form and layering. It has complexity and ambiguity, like paperfolded into walls. The white will be ever-changing with the sunlight . . Thorough, rigorous, and beautifully detailed.
