From her post:
"The fourth place winner, Studio Sunna, had one of my favorite designs “Openhouse”. The layout is incredibly strategic with the placement of openings that provide light, breezes and outdoor spaces but also incorporate low-tech elements such as the sliding wood sunshades on the outside to reduce heat gain and offer privacy. Learning from barns. They thought about passive house techniques and approaches and incorporated them into the small, yet powerful house."
