The jury especially admired this projects socially consequential goals and idiosyncratic program a four-story, masonry clad building on a Chicago gray-field site to permanently house 70 homeless women in a therapeutic interior environment. The thoughtfully conceived architecture and urban design of Sanctuary Place yielded a number of commendable interior and exterior attributes: simple massing and facades animated by lively masonry patterns; interactive communal spaces; high ceilings and large windows; awnings and solar roof panels; terraces and gardens; and play areas for visiting children. In a building so attractive and user friendly, its likely that women who live here will be quite comfortable in their temporary home. |
