Ironbank, Auckland, New Zealand by RTA Studio
“New Zealand practice RTA Studio has just completed this mixed-use project in Auckland. The building is located on the edge of Auckland’s business district in an area where Victorian and Edwardian buildings dominate the street front. The overall form of the building has been broken down, making the medium-sized office building more to scale with the existing buildings.”

“The facade of the building is of glass reinforced concrete (GRC) and acts as a ‘veil’ to the high street. It is also seen as abstract to the historic buildings around the site.”
