Juror Comments<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Boathouse is nicely designed and detailed with beautiful materials that will serve the building’s function well for years to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe building is in tune with its program function, and the jury appreciated the formal gesture of a boat’s bow serving as a canopy for the exterior.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple and effective with nice details and exposed structure. This is an excellent addition to the site.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
