The judges said
that due to the
slenderness of
the structure and
the architectural
requirement
stipulating all
connections to be
visible within the
living area, careful
attention was given
to the design of
all connecting and
bracing elements.
“This required close
cooperation at the
design stage between
architect and
engineer. As a result
the architecture
and structural
detailing were interdependent leading
to the uniqueness
of this winner,” they
said. “It is a great
example of what can
be achieved using
our material of
choice,” the judges
concluded.
