    Build Smart / APL / NZIA affordable prefabricated house competition


    The whole presentation was clear, logical and detailed. The comprehensive level of information provided gave confidence that this project has been thoroughly considered, that it can be built within the cost target in the competition documents and that it will present no difficulties in construction. The perspective renderings were both realistic and atmospheric and they were of considerable assistance in enabling the judges to understand the ‘feel’ of the proposal as it would appear to occupants. Altogether this was an extremely well-considered and elegant solution.
