"Seldom does one encounter such an inventive, ingenious design solution for a mere utility building. Traditionally characterized by messy yards and structures, the storage of stone and sand is seldom thought of as a worthy design challenge. This architect has not only risen to the challenge but imaginatively incorporated equipment storage, energy efficiency and geothermal as well as solar power. The readily accessible masonry palettes present a constantly changing wall and thus a visual delight. Behind them is a well-considered second wall of translucent light controlling panels.
The jury members all smiled with pleasure at this unique and beautiful work."
