Comment of the Holcim Awards 2005 Jury for Asia Pacific
The project is credited for its awareness of social dynamics and concomitant transformations in lifestyles brought about by increasing urbanization and densification. Although based upon research of traditional housing typologies, the project is widely applicable to other regions facing similar challenges.

The project offers a promising approach to maintaining links between generations and thus manifests an ambitious ethical vision. The scheme also displays skill in addressing ecological and economic challenges by promoting moderate cost, medium density, multi-storey residential units in a compact, yet refined series of units.

The compactness of the architecture does not limit the freedom of inhabitants from directly influencing their living environment. Nor does the compactness necessarily reduce the flexibility of the units to adapt to further changes in social structure. The project is a significant and aesthetically accomplished contribution to debates pertaining to the sustainable development of culture.
