First Place Winner
The Gentle Light
Design by
Caio Simonetti
This a well thought proposal, and mostly well drawn, but the interior rendering is hard to stomach. The organization of space and functions works well, and suggests a thoughtful and sustainable approach to living in a semi open interior, but the interior rendering seems to present a view more like a fancy hotel than a domestic interior. Still a convincing proposal, but a better presentation of the interior would be more convincing.
-Philip Tidwel
This design responds thoroughly to orientation with the subtle use of sunshine.
-Nicole Cullinan
Suggestive indoor spatial transparency. The elimination of barriers and the creation of rooms through the furniture and the central green element make the living area vibrant, interesting and elegant. The "floating" effect of the volume of the sleeping area is suggestive.
-Antonella Marzi
