JURY COMMENTS
Baltzell Building was entered into the Restoration / Rehabilitation / Adaptive Re-Use Category
– Careful use of color
– This design takes a mundane building and makes it very special
– Exterior façade has datums that wrap into the interior to create an integrated design
the maximizes usable area
– The new work does not clash with the original building. It is as though the original
architect was re-hired to design the renovation decades later
– There is great economy whose moves all add up
