Jury Comments:
An exercise in modesty and restraint, the jury really appreciated the discipline and thoughtfulness of the design. The scale of interior spaces were well proportioned and well laid out, with the main living space sitting at the apex of the hill. The strategically placed roof penetrations also helped to highlight key moments. The interior volumes clad in wood were expertly detailed with the tracking of the wood along the soffit. Overall a great project that exemplifies design excellence.

SOM 4

Jury Comments:
An exquisitely well-designed structure – the attention to detail and rigor is unmatched. Beautiful quality of light throughout coupled with a high level of sustainability and performance. And extremely cohesive – the architecture and interiors blend seamlessly. Mies would be proud. The history wall was quite well done and fully integrated into the architectural expression. It has a nice and subtle integration of art and natural materials.

15142 000 N19

Jury Comments:
A fun project that conveyed a strong vision – to mimic the canopy of a forest – while avoiding the cliché. Great use of raw materials that are contrasted against the high tech – ETFE membrane and custom-cut weathered steel – really well done. The use of scale to magnify the feeling of standing under a large tree was very compelling.

Fleck 02a

Jury Comments:

We really appreciated the accentuation of space and volume with either depressions in the floor, raised platforms or lowered ceilings – a subtle yet effective way to help differentiate function and use. Beautifully honest expression of old and new, the exposed concrete ceilings provide great contrast to the modern interior volumes and materials. The design team embraced the symmetrical floor plate – utilizing the existing building layout to its advantage.

Jury Comments:

There was a sense of delight that came across in this submittal. A very creative design with thoughtful use of repurposed materials. Very sensitive to the environment with a ‘light touch’ structure – there was a sense of being ‘off the grid’ both figuratively and literally. The kinetic façade helped to create a very well-proportioned volume.

Jury Comments:

The modest, well-proportioned design provides a fresh interpretation of traditional vernacular. A simple, yet refined material palette also helps to accentuate detail and proportion. The front entry porch is nicely carved into the volume – again very subtle but effective.

A well thought presentation told a clear story about a consistent and fun interior environment that spoke directly to the user: a marketing firm.

Scottish Rite Cathedral

Jury Comments:

One of the best examples of Gothic Revival Architecture in the Midwest, and compliments the setting of the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza by helping to create one of the great urban spaces in America. The building has a remarkable consistency of the Gothic Revivalist Design, both interiorly and exteriorly. It is one of Indianapolis’s most important buildings. The design remains a striking example of its genre and it has been maintained in excellent condition. One of the most significant buildings of its era in downtown Indianapolis, and one whose design intent has remained in place without desecration for over ninety years. The Scottish Rite Cathedral is a cornerstone building in Indianapolis, which attracts worldwide visitors."
