2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Deloitte Centre - Te Kaha
Re-making an existing building better than new is no mean feat, and the Deloitte Centre is a beautiful contribution to the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland skyline. The artistry of composition is achieved by variation in depth vertically across the façade. This is done in a delightfully simple way by reversing the curtain wall on the lower section and expressing the mullions externally in gold. A broader masterplan collects services at Commercial Bay, freeing up the waterfront building. Covered walkways lead to adjacent office towers plugging this building into its neighbours. Artwork by Pāora Puru further elevates the building, fading in and out, telling stories of volcanic creation in the rohe (region). Installations explore aukaha (binding), set in motion by collaboration with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.
