Jury comments: 

"This is a very successful project.  It has a wonderful, strong sense of community.  The way the collection of buildings steps up to the site creates a very human scale.  The interiors of the common areas relate well to the scale and quality of the exterior. 

 

It  has everything that people want out of a place to live – neighborly, community, sense of scale and living sustainably.  The use of color and texture is great – there is a lot of individuality / unique identity.  It has a very organic feel. It appears to have grown over the years.  Plans are wonderful – rational and well thought out."
