Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Buildings

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Buildings

Auckland

"This enormous building deals consummately with the size, organisation and sophistication of its healthcare manufacturing business. It is beautifully scaled, clearly structured and simply planned; a direct response to the activity within.

The use of full glass walls between the different areas including internal gardens, administration and manufacturing lend a pattern and purpose to all workspaces.

The internal gardens bring an exotic sense of the outside to deep within the building and contrast excitingly with the adjacent, almost sci-fi quality of the factory areas.

The extensive external landscaping is an added delight. This building has been undertaken with a thorough but understated attention to detail and environmental and security issues that this operation demands.

The architects have beautifully managed the scale and purpose of this building."
