2010 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Orokonui Ecosanctuary Visitor Centre
From a simple brief and modest budget, an astonishingly elegant work of architecture has been produced. The architect, consultants and builders have together responded precisely to the building�s environment and purpose. The clustered container forms with their wafers of rainscreen roofs provide an expandable service and kitchen zone to one side of the central canopy, on the other a successful classroom and resource space. Judging from the extensive planting evident around the building, all will be subsumed into a regenerated bush setting above which the distinctive, crafted atrium will sail.
