Jury comment: "A genuinely revolutionary reconfiguration of 'the library' as a place of urban gathering and the exchange of information. We admire the inventive concept of the building as a festive public place, the seamless and thorough-going integration of the building envelope with the interior experience, and the relentless imagination driving the manifestation of idea in every detail. It took some remarkable work to achieve the reality of this building. We found no evidence of laziness in thought or execution. Congratulations on a truly marvelous achievement!"

General Contractor: Bob Wilson
Photography: Art Grice
Jury comment: "See here a rethinking of the idea of house, in a way that conforms with particular aptness to its place in the landscape. The two portions of the residence, in two micro-climates, retain a singularity of concept. The structures demarcate the landscape, genuine viewing opportunities more than mere figures in the scene. The invention comes in the rediscovery of agrarian forms, with weight and structure of the building elements perfectly calibrated to the place, at the same time avoiding clich�."
