2010 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Birkenhead Library Civic Centre
The new Birkenhead Library has successfully reinvigorated community library use by offering a warm expansive space that neither intimidates its users nor trivialises its function. Referring to the previous kauri grove on the site, giant vertical timber battens ripple across the building. The bulk of the building sits low on the site and yet allows for long views into Auckland.
