Jury Comments - The organization of the plan on the site and the framing of the views out to the lake were very successful. We appreciated the way the outdoor reading screened enclosed room was created as a separate entity, distinct from how porches are typically handled. The planning organization of the project is very clear and powerful, both in its relationship to site as well as the spatial arrangement and resolution of the program. Programmatically, this plan is radically different than a house plan – a house that you might have in the city that you live in all the time – this is a totally different program. This is a place you go for vacation where it would accommodate groups of people, kind of nomadic groups of people, where you might have a different party every night and it really draws a distinction between vacation home and home. The planning and organization of the whole project is very well executed. The linear element penetrated and extending out with the view – the details were well refined.
