Jury’s comments: Clear forms, simple but sensitive to the context; every form has its language and distinction in refined sophistication.

This house stands out as a sculptural cubist-object on a manicured green lawn and amongst terraced shophouses and classical/neo-tropical villas in a Kuching neighbourhood. Cantilevered cubes on the first floor bedrooms hover over the social spaces on the ground. It is framed by a solitary off-form concrete privacy/water wall at the perimeter with protruding horizontal timber decking and a floating glass canopy. (Source)
