Dakin Building, Commercial office building in Brisbane, California
The Dakin Building is a three-story commercial office structure in Brisbane featuring a distinctive glass and steel facade oriented to the north. The building occupies a significant footprint across multiple floors, designed with contemporary architectural elements that define the property.
The building was constructed in 1986, financed through revenue from Garfield character merchandise sales by the Dakin & Company division of Applause Toys. This commercial success enabled the development of the office structure with its contemporary design approach.
The building earned recognition through an American Institute of Architects Design Excellence Award in 1992 for its architectural accomplishments.
The building sits near San Francisco International Airport, making it accessible for those in the region. Visitors should plan their timing to account for typical traffic conditions in this commercial corridor.
The interior features a five-story atrium with an isosceles right triangle design and skylights for natural illumination. This geometric approach creates an open spatial experience that allows daylight to penetrate deep into the interior.
