2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Daniell Building
This beautiful piece of minimalist architecture exists within a vast horizontal sliver. The architects did not shy away from the scale of this project, using the programme's immensity and need for flexibility to create an open-plan workspace that feels like the inside of a giant machine, but a machine constructed with the same precision as the medical instruments engineered within. The staggering scale of the 52,720-square-metre floor is revealed in the deftly handled circulation passage that runs the building's entire length. Light wells carve into the deep plan to create interior gardens. The machine runs smoothly.
