Jury Comments:

Absolutely stunning adaptive reuse. A 21st century cathedral for healing! The contrasting high-luminous white veneer is a stunning contrast to the original cast-in-place concrete – a very elegant interplay of materials. Unsurprisingly, this project is well-presented.

A cooling tower for respite. Great program and the drawings are attractive as well. The cladding material is a welcomed relief from the surrounding brick structures. Love the raw concrete and the light filtering through the spaces. Beautifully done.

Absolutely Gorgeous. Great ability to show restraint and yet making the previous life of the space come alive in this chapter of the building.
Stunning.

An eyesore becomes the most wonderful place using what most would say tear down. The vision to bring light down from above harkens to chapels of the past, which has been lost in modern worship spaces, as a move connects space and spirit and take advantage of the existing solid enclosure. Beautiful.
