PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The timber and steel carcass kept it light and the off-site prefabrication helped keep the quality up. The sense of theatre engendered by floating it out and lifting it into place all in one day is only part of the story – it also helped keep the construction team safe. The building and its unusual construction story has apparently already entered local folklore!
