"It is rare and smart for a developer to spend the time and money to work with an architect for a speculative project such as this home."

"There is expert attention to light and detailing while observing a very tight budget."

"This home was chosen for its interesting massing and material use. For a larger home that's not on a larger lot, there is a positive integration between site and building."

"This was chosen because the extensive renovation better articulates what was already there. With the additions, the house and family are able to be more forward thinking."

"The home in a very real way relates to its site. The internal spaces all feed off a corridor of glass at the exterior side and warm wood on the interior side. The corridor is the language of the home."

"The selection committee was struck by the artful economy. The dwelling is at the same time very clear and very playful."
