"Jurors cited the "dramatic impact on the hillside site, the daring character of the structure, the integration of structure and spatial concepts, the roof terrace, and the pool. The tight organization of spaces within such a restrictive and elongated geometry was carried out with such conviction, cohesion, and élan that the design integrity shines through. There is no compromise here in the realization of the strong vision."
In the Jury’s discussion, references were made to Simon Unger’s Tee-House, Libera’s Casa Malaparte, etc. as other, singular interventions in the landscape. For this house is nothing if not singular. It appears to have been designed for a very special and indeed courageous client.
The lightsome interiors, the stepped interior descent onto the long, calm, cantilevered living area, and the dramatic views of the house at night are all worthy of close attention.
Philosophically the house seems to manifest ideological modernism at its most assertive."
