2016 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Base Ohakea Simulator Training Centre
Two differing volume requirements - for offices and flight simulators - have been used to the architect's advantage in this building. The tall, zinc-clad simulators and timber-clad office exteriors have been pulled through to the interior, allowing users to read the exterior form of the building from within. Careful detailing and well considered window shapes and placements provide an expressive variety to rooms with different functions. The link to the massive hangar adjacent is carefully minimalist, allowing this building to stand in its own right. The Ohakea Air Force Base has a variety of excellent buildings and the Simulator continues this trend.
