Dakin Building, Commercial office building in Brisbane, California

The Dakin Building is a Class A office building completed in 1986 on Sierra Point in Brisbane, California. Its plan resembles an isosceles right triangle: the base faces the bay to the north, with a large glass atrium protruding from its centre, and a circular penthouse sits near the apex. The 8-acre parcel has almost a quarter mile of bay frontage.

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 is a working office at 5000 Marina Blvd's neighbour on Sierra Point, about 4 miles north of San Francisco International Airport; it is not open for tours. The 2006 ramp replacement added stairs, a disabled-access lift and switchback ramps, so step-free entry is via the lift.

The building's triangular plan is not just visual: the main entrance ramp was built on a giant hinge so it could settle with the bay mud, which was expected to subside up to 10 feet by 2006. The building itself rests on driven piles and stayed put, so the ramp effectively rose above the surrounding land until it was replaced in October 2006.
