The jury valued More Feeling for its clear spatial duality: an open sundeck and an intensely planted thicket. The project combines ecological measures with a strong atmospheric ambition, turning unsealed surfaces, rainwater collection, biodiversity and cooling into a distinct spatial experience. Its strength lies in how the dense vegetation complicates and contrasts the plain courtyard facades, creating a sharper, more bodily relationship between building and garden. The red-painted wooden elements give the atrium a sculptural dimension, inviting seating, movement and informal appropriation within the thicket. On the sundeck, roof garden vegetation set against the white walls of the building creates a sharp contrast that intensifies the experience of the unruly planting. - from the award statements
