Jury Comments: "This 'little machine of a house' makes big moves with a small palette. It begins with a framed view and an idea, and holds on to them without compromise, handling entries and access rigorously and yet with interesting complexity and texture. The architect has drawn on the picturesque, e.g. the tilt-up door, but without falling into nostalgia. We see here an order of perfect relationships, but with humor - a truly outstanding achievement."
