2005 AIA Michigan Design Honor Award

 Big Ten Burrito
Ann Arbor, MI

Jury Comment:
We loved the single minded exploration of different CAD/CAM routing routines to created this sensually rich interior. The cuts become surface, pattern, contours, slits and light slots which envelope the occupants.

This is high intensity, sensuality on a shoe string budget. Fun project, simple ideas, great c olor and use of inexpensive materials. The sense of movement created by the contrast of color and materials is particularly well done.

Very energetic yet cohesive. The architect takes a simple beginning and develops it into a highly tactile environment.
