"This work appealed to the jurors for its excellent site organization, capitalizing on great views, and the purity of its form. Located near 19th Century mill structures, the public entrance façade with its modest mimicry of the former’s window openings, forms a screen and closed-in gateway to the surprising landscape which opens up in beautiful views from the relative privacy of the offices on the north side. The midpoint break in the south façade, where major circulation, cafeteria, and public spaces meet, and the smoothly curvilinear glass façade of the south combine beautifully to articulate a long structure which might otherwise be merely monotonous. As with the other three honor awards the drawings, diagrams, photographs, and particularly the use of jargon-free, unpretentious language reveal the complexity of thought underlying a readable work of architecture."
