Jury Comments: In this project's beautiful curtain wall, the texture of the façade subtly transforms between the two prime elevations forming a rich envelope. The selection of transparent glass, the sunscreens, and the extension of the curtain wall beyond the roof add to the depth and richness of the taut building.

Brookmont Residence
Wiedemann Architects, LLC

Jury Comments: This project boldly transformed a bland mid-century school building through its use of an inviting entrance canopy and glassy multi-story atrium. The abundance of natural light and theatrical transformation of the auditorium would set the stage for a wonderful evening event. The circulation pattern was much improved in the 'before and after' plan graphics.
