2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Augusta Building
Inserted into the heart of Auckland Grammar School's campus, the Augusta Building connects diverse architectural styles, bridges levels and creates comfortable learning environments integrated with essential technical infrastructures. The building's balance of confidence and tact is illustrated in a number of ways: by an upper-level bridge that makes a gentle connection to the heritage fabric of the main building; through materials, colours and design elements drawn from the pre-existing palette to ensure a considerate integration; and via the transparency and texture of a curving timber screen that respectfully defers attention to the great tree at the heart of the courtyard the building overlooks.
