JURY CITATION

The new Defence Network Operations Centre on HMAS Harman is an 80-metre-long, essentially windowless building operating in high security and partly hidden by sloping land. It could have been a monstrous imposition on the landscape, but instead the use of Colorbond on both roof and walls, with a tapered form and muted palette, is cost-effective and elegant. The building’s profile terminates in thin elements which appear to hover above the ground plane, providing a delicacy belying its scale.
Elevations alternate between horizontal and vertical panels. These give it a sensitivity to the surrounding landscape by harmonious opposition, something not normally seen in such a pragmatic military building.
