架构师提供的文本描述。ASB北码头是可持续发展建筑的一个国际基准，它为ASB银行提供了一个工作场所，使工作人员处于前排。七层高的办公大楼由两栋建筑组成，中间的公共车道上有一条有玻璃的多层步行道。这条小巷方便行人的连接和一个新的相互连接的公共/私人空间。

ASB北码头采用了许多创新的环境可持续战略。中庭功能就像建筑物的“肺”建筑物屋顶上的漏斗和反光镜捕捉并反射到建筑物深处的自然光。北面的一种独特的防晒霜是指新西兰本土树种波胡图卡瓦(Pohutukawa)的叶子。

ASB North Wharf incorporates a number of innovative environmentally sustainable strategies. The atrium functions as the building’s ‘lungs’ - cross ventilation is achieved by fresh air from the open windows in the façade being drawn up into the top of the building through a unique funnel. The funnel and light reflector on the building’s roof capture and reflect natural light deep into the building. A distinctive sunscreen on the north façade references the leaves of the Pohutukawa, a native New Zealand tree.

从内到外设计的工作场所适合是基于一个村庄的概念与主题的“邻里”和一系列的公共空间。这些提供了工作环境的选择，并根据ASB的工作愿望激发了身份感、社区意识和透明度。

Designed from the inside out, the workplace fit out is based on a village concept with themed ‘neighbourhoods’ and a range of communal spaces. These provide a choice of work settings and inspire a sense of identity, community and transparency in line with the work aspirations of ASB.
