This restaurant in an abandoned loading dock has two separate dining spaces — an interior room and an extra wide outdoor sidewalk. The two areas are linked visually by a translucent screen of glass and aluminum tubes. The rhythm of these tubes was the inspiration for the design of the restaurant's sign, because the number of tubes exactly matched the number of letters in the name. "Opera House" is suspended marquee-like at the very edge of each aluminum tube. These reinterpreted klieg lights both illuminate each letter and project a theatrical glow onto the actors in the urban scene below. The jury recognized this project to draw attention to the fact that the architect designed an extraordinary detail that might otherwise have been relegated to the ordinary. The jury agreed the result is "a small detail that influences an entire building."
