Jury comments: This affordable housing project is exceptional for its type. The architect didn’t deliver the “most efficient,” unrelenting version of an apartment block; instead, this housing is well scaled, with variety in architectural expression and generous outdoor common spaces that make the project feel more like an organic neighborhood.
