From the Houses Awards jury.
“The design thinking behind this house has absolute clarity. Ideas about sustainability, affordability and experience exist as an intertwined thread that runs from the initial design concept, through the construction process and finally into day-to-day occupation. This approach has created a modest building that is simultaneously poetic and pragmatic... This is clearly a great place to live”
