The jury applauded the project’s thoughtful reinterpretation of traditional agricultural forms into a clean, modern design. The cantilevered gable roof and asymmetric lobby glazing create a welcoming and balanced entry. The floor plan is clearly organized, effectively separating public and staff areas. The use of color and glazed CMU adds playful, distinctive touches to an otherwise restrained and durable material palette — with the jury even wondering if the color choices were inspired by how animals perceive their environment.
