Jury Comments - This power of the building’s simple solution is that it evolves on a very techtonic level. This project exposes the very fabric of historic load bearing masonry mill architecture through the use of glazing set back quite a distance from the shell, exposed timbers and articulated connections, and is an elegant exercise in wall and frame. It is a subtle and quite interesting project relative to its subtractive quality of space. The sense is that it started as a masonry box and then there was the removal of form rather than additive that gives it probably the most striking appearance among the very subtle projects.
