2013 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Massey University Albany: Student Amenities Centre
Giving the Spanish Mission aesthetic of the existing campus buildings a good shake-up, this amenities centre uses terracotta tiling sparingly and in an entirely new way. With its double-height canopy, the building nestles in the heart of the campus, creating a wide-open welcome and an orientation destination for new arrivals. Inside, the café areas provide a pavilion for viewing the surrounding regenerating bush, while the upstairs health and counselling rooms are screened from sight. Robustly constructed and fashionably styled, this low-rise solution superbly complements its built and natural environment.
