By DKO Architecture NZ
The Victory Christian Church’s Beaumont Centre is a flourishing centre for worship in Auckland. DKO’s addition to the existing auditorium allowed Victory to reconnect with its congregation and the City of Auckland and is now a successful venue for community events in this vibrant New Zealand city.
DKO designed a new administration building, terrace areas and a 3 level carpark as well as reinvigorated multi-purpose rooms and related amenities areas in the existing auditorium. Our design response provided a building and program that opened up the Church to its immediate community and urban landscape.
As one of Asia-Pacific’s leading design practices, DKO is responsible for some of the region’s most innovative architecture, interior and urban design. Opening in the year 2000, DKO has more than 220 design professionals working in studios in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Ho Chi Minh City.
While the practice has expanded, so too has the breadth of projects undertaken. From bespoke residences to distinctive residential communities, luxury hotels, unique hospitality and workplace interiors, urban design and large-scale master planning. What remains consistent however, is the pursuit of high quality architecture driven by the needs of the client, site opportunities and the dynamic process of translating design intent into built outcome.
At the core of DKO’s design philosophy lies a commitment to an urban architecture that serves people, respects place and stands the test of time.
The passionate and accomplished design team focus on sharp, intelligent and articulated design. With an understanding of how a space works, moves and moulds with the user, DKO’s intuitive approach encourages collaboration on each project, bringing individual strengths and experiences to maintain a crisp, lively and reflective angle on our designs.
