Jury Comments - Quiet, long and thin, like a racing shell. View of the water is unforgettable. Very gentle on the site. Intelligent plan separates owners and guests. We liked the view under the building to the water at the entry. This project is a reminder to kill:  keep it simple, stupid. We did wonder though where to put the Weber grill?
