"The Daintree Building is one of a kind. Inspired by the delightful, fertile abundance of trees, or the rainforest in Australia after which it is named, Daintree meets some of its own energy, material, food and water needs and is a small step towarda more restorative, sustainable and healthful built environment. Daintree Paper commissioned the project in 1999. We wanted an ‘oasis in the city’- a beautiful place to work and live in- that would smell of baking and fresh coffee. Now complete, the project was awarded the Building Design Award in the 2005 Sustainable Energy Awards and has been exhibited in The Royal Institute of Architects 2006 Awards. As well as the fabulous Cake Café, Daintree has 7 privately owned apartments, office space for Solearth Ecological Architecture (the building’s designers) and our shop, warehouse and offices."
