Shortlisted – Sobieski House by Koning Eizenberg Architecture Inc.

This project illustrates a strong clarity of ideas and consistent three dimensional expressions.

Clean utilitarian materials, bold strategic colour and a skilful formal composition, create a domestic landscape that speaks to the traditions of Californian life without imitating Californian modernism. The clear framing of openings to the outside and the highly intentional visual relationships they create, are a critical part of the project’s success.

The suggestions of material and spatial complexity in the exterior spaces imply a welcome future richness as the landscape matures. The project’s economy of means is realized with a sophistication that brings a robust flexibility to the current and future use of the buildings and site.
