The jury commends Avenier and Cornejo for their realization of social housing. Despite an extremely tight budget, the project exemplifies generous internal spaces and well-detailed treatment of materiality. Rue Bonnet Social Housing proves the architects’ point, that ‘even social housing can be noble’. The project begins to tackle important social issues while addressing a challenging urban context.
