The 2013 Residential Architect Design Awards was given to Bud Clark Commons, a project located near Union Station. The architects for the project were Holst Architecture and they have done a remarkable job.
The quote from the award: “It combines sustainable aspects, social agendas, and aesthetic issues,” said one juror. “They had a very complicated series of things to solve and combine in a very successful project. If I didn’t know it was an SRO, I’d still think it was an amazing building.”
I quite agree. Very nice to see social housing done this well and getting the recognition it deserves.
