Extract from the Finnish Architecture Biennial Review 2014 jury report:

“This project is an excellent example of how important it is to understand and capture a strong spirit of place in architecture. It forms an organic part of its environment, marking its place with a few simple but confidently rendered geometrical strokes. The structures and materials are physically durable and lasting, the detailing executed with skill.”
