“The jury was quite impressed with the approach to the project blending the old and new yet using the modern material palette. We also felt that the interiors were tastefully done with good sense of proportion and light. Sustainability played an important role with rainwater harvesting and passive solar strategies to help the environment. The plan had a good sense of graphics too that got our attention. Moreover, the house is a compact, modest and simple dwelling with attention to details.”
