Judges' Praise for Hilary's Hangout


Tiny, light, and cheap; an impressive space considering size and budget.

Paul Logan AIA
Senior Project Manager at Jonathan Rose Companies

Highly successful “ all the comforts of home” feeling, using an economy of means.

John Berg AIA
BERGDESIGN ARCHITECTS

With very little space and money, she made an ingenious modification to the apartment that plays up its strengths (the wood floors and the light from one window), and introduces new elements (a hammock and chair that function as a second room).

Jake Ward
Managing Editor of ReadyMade Magazine the magazine of do-it-yourself design and culture

Because it is, quite literally, the smallest apartment at 186 square feet, and hillary has made it cheerful, serene and functional for only $100 (also, who can resist a hammock?).

Is the Harry Wakefield comment for Hillary or for Brandon? Frankly, the comment doesn't make sense for Hillary's place. I'm confused...

And speaking of judges' comments, where are design*sponge's'/Grace's comments? I'd love to hear her thoughts on the semi-finalists.

Hillary's place wins, hands down. Awesome use of limited funds and imagination, simple, airy and bright. Very nice.
