2012 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Geyser
An enigmatic aggregation of volumes that dissolve against the sky, this office building is a contemporary evocation of the intimacy of medieval urbanism. With its courtyard, lanes and alleys, its natural ventilation and illumination, Geyser suggests a crystalline hill town. The volcanic analogy will be apparent to visitors who progress from the lava-red carpark up into the shards of glass. The latest in a series of innovative and bravura commercial buildings from this architect and this client, Geyser has also set a new benchmark for sustainability in this country’s commercial architecture.
