2005 AIA Michigan Design Honor Award
Hill Auditorium Restoration
Ann Arbor, MI
Jury Comment:
The architect was given a strong basis of
departure but was diligent in developing and enhancing the essence of the
original design.
The additions to the existing building are very sensitive to the scale and
proportion of Albert Kahn's original building. The interior renovation is
done with integrity and minimal intervention to the existing auditorium.
This is an example of restoration where the less visible the hand of the
restoring architect the better. The architect had the good sense of
letting the existing building speak for itself. Everything new is almost
invisible. Bravo!
