Jury Comments - The most sustainable act is to save and restore an existing building.  Here the client and architect have created a catalyst for revitalizing a neighborhood. Pumping new life into a venerable building that was abandoned for thirty years. The architect did just enough, but not too much:  knowing when to stop. Some very sensitive insertions inside the building reveal its original materials of wood and masonry give a tactile sense of history.
