Reasons for the jury's award

The jury praised the restrained way in which the architects had given the facade of the building its own distinctive appearance between the neighbouring buildings. The colour of the plaster follows the colours of the joins with the adjoining facades. The pronounced difference in the position and proportion of certain openings contrasts with the structure of the adjoining building in an astonishingly harmonious way. In particular, the jury praised the effect of surprise created by the building within its surroundings.
