Atrium

 

This is the atrium of Infrastructure House, at the corner of Alinga Street and Northbourne Avenue in Civic. I'm not sure of the history of this building, but it looks as though it was built around an open atrium, which has since been enclosed to make a sunny but sheltered space with a cafe area on the ground floor, and the offices of the Department of Infrastructure and Transport (hence the building name) looking down into the space.

There are more photos of the building and the atrium on the property manager's website.
