Judges comments: Projects need to stand out from the rest of the competition and “The Home for Martial Arts” does just that. This infill residential project is a four (4) story home consisting of modern living areas on three (3) levels and the roof top designed as a place for Grandpa to practice martial arts and boxing. Judges were immediately drawn to the architect’s use of, “Mortise – Tenon”. An ancient construction method adjoining pieces of wood mainly connecting at right angles. With the advances in building technology and the Mortise – Tenon technique rarely being used, the architect used it more as a cultural symbol. This played a key part in developing the skeleton or framework of the entire building. Overly impressed by the result of the design and constructions method used, the judges felt this deserved the Grand Award
