A real achievement, for a project with a high degree of difficulty! Suitably reflecting the rural farmlands character of this urbanizing area, it combines the feel of barn and shed in a way that makes this public space highly accessible, a kind of marketplace of public services. We admire the way the spaces create a positive blurring of lines between public processes and institutional services.
