2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
SeaLink Wynyard Ferry Terminal
The SeaLink building is a strong presence in the industrial port environment, clearly expressing its function as a portal to the Hauraki Gulf islands. It transcends its prosaic purpose with a folded perforated metal screen cladding that evokes the surrounding context of containers and sheet piling in a poetic way. The perforated pattern that tells the story of its maritime setting was designed by local mana whenua artists Maaka Potini and Ted Ngataki (Ngāti Tamaoho). This is a clearly laid out economical building that expresses its purpose, context and cultural narrative in an elegant, strong manner.
