Jury
Comments:
This
project stood out amongst the many rehabilitation and
reuse project entries as truly transforming. The existing
“A” frame structure was used as a scaffold
for new plaster ceiling and wall planes. The jury was
unanimous in admiring the varying side-to-side play
of the interior space, which makes the perspective view
subservient to the larger issue of changing natural
light and enables the center cross to ground the fellowship’s
visual access to the highest focal point.
