Who we are

Lloyd joined Salmond Architects in 1993 increasing the staff numbers dramatically, from 2 to 3 people! In 2000 the practice became Salmond Reed Architects with fellow architect Peter Reed bringing his experience and knowledge of materials and detailing to compliment the design skills of others in the growing office. In 2003 Lloyd became a Director.

A practising architect skilled in all facets of design, Lloyd has been a key figure in many of Salmond Reed’s larger scale design projects, from initial conceptual planning through to detailed design, contributing to larger projects including Government House Auckland, Sacred Heart Cathedral Wellington, the Auckland Domain Wintergardens, to name a few.

Over the years, Lloyd has continued to build on a large body of residential design projects, again, from concept through to detailed design.

For 20 years Lloyd has contributed to Salmond Reed Architects’ marae and church conservation and new development projects, arranging and carrying out condition assessments, feasibility studies, design and documentation.

Lloyd’s position in the 20-strong practice continues to evolve. While he keeps a close eye on the design of projects large and small, he shares the responsibility of general business matters with fellow Directors Rosalie Stanley and Philip Graham.

Of late, Lloyd is increasingly active as a heritage consultant in assisting other architects and clients with successfully integrating new architecture with old in the adaptive re-use of heritage buildings throughout New Zealand.

A registered architect with more than twenty-five years’ experience in all facets of design, Rosalie is currently the Salmond Reed Architects Practice Manager. Her introduction to architecture was by way of training and working as a draftsperson.

In this role she developed a passion for design which led her to further study and a degree in architecture, completed in 1991. She first joined the Salmond Reed Architects practice in 1994 and became a Director in 2003.

Rosalie is particularly drawn to residential alteration and renovation work where her strong grasp of historic form and detail comes to the fore. She develops excellent relationships with her clients – especially important in residential work –and is committed to the idea that open communication between architect, client and contractor is the key to achieving quality results which exceed expectations.

Building on her skills in the management of the residential alteration process Rosalie has extended her expertise to encompass heritage related commercial work and the financial management and marketing demands of the diverse Salmond Reed Architects practice.

She is a member of both the New Zealand Institute of Architects and Heritage New Zealand.

Philip is a Registered Architect and is skilled in many design disciplines. He has residential, commercial, and conservation experience and has been involved in many award-winning residential projects, both large and small.

Philip’s design and detailing skills are well-honed after many years of experience – and it is this experience that led to his position at Salmond Reed Architects. A key SRA project for Philip was being part of the design team that delivered the award-winning Allendale House and Annexe project in Ponsonby, Auckland.

High quality residential work continues to be a focus for Philip at the practice.

Phillip qualified as a Chartered Building Surveyor in 1988 (UK), following seven years of study with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). In 1990 he joined the first intake of a two-year RICS Diploma in Building Conservation, and subsequently became one of the first to be formally accredited in conservation by the RICS. During this time he worked for the newly formed Historic Royal Palaces Agency based at Hampton Court Palace, where he became Head of Conservation within the Department of Surveyor of the Fabric. The organisation sponsored his study for a master’s in Architectural History at Keele University between 1995 and 1997, and after ten years managing conservation projects for the Agency, he left in 2000 to establish a dedicated historic buildings practice in South West England.

Phillip immigrated to New Zealand in 2005, where he initially worked for Alexander & Co., Building Surveyors in Auckland who specialise in the diagnosis of defects, cladding failures and weathertightness assessments, remedial works design and implementation, and dispute resolution cases. He joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2007, where he is one of four associates with responsibility for co-managing the conservation team, which comprises specialist architectural conservation graduates, architects and surveyors from New Zealand and overseas. The team was established to co-ordinate surveys, condition assessments, repair specifications and project management for heritage buildings, located within the north and south islands.

His contribution to the surveying profession was recognised in 2017 when the New Zealand Institute of Building Surveyors offered the status of Affiliate for "good professional standing and character who the Executive agree has the ability to assist in the advancement of good professional practice in the construction industry”.

Phillip completed his PhD in the Conservation of Modernist Architecture in New Zealand in 2019, having studied at the University of Auckland, where he currently teaches the conservation of materials for the School of Architecture.

He has a particular interest in the survey of buildings for condition assessments, diagnosis of defects, and the specification of conservation-based repairs. His recent collaboration with a specialist height services company has involved rope access for facade inspections, in circumstances where other methods are problematical or inadequate.

Tracey qualified as a Chartered Building Surveyor in 1990 (UK), then specialised and completed a Post Graduate Diploma in building conservation at the Architectural Association in London in 1994. In 1995, Tracey was accepted onto the Attingham Summer School, a 3 week intense training course visiting the most significant country houses in England and learning about a multitude of practical conservation techniques from conservation of artworks to the repair of vernacular building materials. In 2000, she was formally accredited as a heritage conservation professional by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Tracey has worked for multi-disciplinary architectural practices, as a regional building manager for the largest conservation organisation in the UK, the National Trust, and managing a direct labour force. Then she ran a conservation practice for seven years with Phillip Hartley before immigrating to New Zealand.

Tracey’s expertise include defects analysis, preparing condition survey reports and specifications, project management, contract administration, maintenance programming, setting conservation policies and conservation planning. She enjoys the challenge of negotiating the best conservation outcomes when seismically upgrading our built heritage. At Salmond Reed Architects she is one of three senior associates as part of the conservation team, which comprises specialist architectural conservation graduates, architects and surveyors from New Zealand and overseas. She is appointed on the advisory panel to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage on the conservation of nationally significant structures and for over 15 years has advised the Department of Conservation on many projects. Tracey is a member of ICOMOS NZ, and NZCCM (NZ Conservators of Cultural Materials). Tracey keenly promotes the use of traditional techniques and materials (particularly lime), and sustainable methods of repairing heritage buildings.

Tracey joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2006 and has worked on many important heritage buildings, including Auckland Domain Wintergardens, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Dilworth Building, Auckland Town Hall, Mansion House Kawau Island, Highwic, Civic Theatre, Iona Presbyterian Church Port Chalmers, Seddon Memorial and many monuments nationwide.

Ali de Hora is Royal Institute of British Architects trained and has been registered by the Architects Registration Board UK since 1996, with a post graduate Diploma in Architectural Conservation completed in 2001. Ali worked for architectural practices in London and the southwest of England for twelve years in report writing, design, documentation and management of a number of projects involving mainly listed and historic buildings, including adaptive re-use of heritage buildings, and has contributed to conservation plans.

In 2012 she joined Salmond Reed Architects and her expertise has been employed in a prime role and key person responsible for the managing of capital repair projects and the large programme of maintenance at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Her skills include detailed drawings, specification writing, planning and contract administration and she has knowledge of specialist materials and techniques.

In addition to a major role at the Museum, she also provides assistance with condition reports and major projects on a variety of important heritage buildings in Auckland and is a member of ICOMOS NZ.

Rachel graduated with a M. Arch in 2010 and her early work experience was in residential additions and alterations. She joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2014 and has been integral to the practice’s renovation and restoration of existing air-force housing at Hobsonville Point, part of the continuing residential development in this expanding part of Auckland.

Rachel has also contributed to the redevelopment of Ellison Chambers, an historic office building in the Auckland CBD. With this commercial work, Rachel has gained an appreciation of complex heritage issues as well as consolidating a broader understanding of contract planning, administration and management.

Pamela Dziwulska, is a registered architect who shares Salmond Reed’s deep passion for heritage buildings. With over a decade of experience, her expertise lies in traditional materials, repair techniques, and sensitive heritage design, all skills enriched by her 2018 SPAB scholarship. Pamela is also a certified passive house designer, prioritizing environmentally sustainable design for new and existing buildings, extending her personal philosophy of “conservation by design”.

Notable projects in her portfolio include the MLC Building (Re-clad to penthouse apartments and heritage building repairs), Pukekohe War Memorial Town Hall Seismic Upgrade, The Guardian Building, Te Tii Waitangi Marae, Carrington Hospital (“Building 1 Unitec”), various buildings at the University of Auckland and the Lopdell Precinct in Titirangi. The experience of working in such a range of commercial buildings has Pamela working collaboratively with Structural, Civil and Fire Engineers on a regular basis, coordinating the overlapping needs of design, heritage and functionality of existing buildings in the pursuit of retaining built heritage and reducing building waste.

Pamela served as the Chairperson for ICOMOS New Zealand 2019-2023, but continues to collaborate with committee members on legislation and policy matters and advocates for nationally significant heritage. Pamela has also been elected to the Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust Board, as nominated by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.

Peter joined Salmond Architects in 1993 and was a founding Director of Salmond Reed Architects Limited.

A practising architect specialising in the conservation of heritage buildings, Peter relinquished his directorship role in 2010 but retains a very important consultant and mentoring role within the practice, particularly in his specialist areas of conservation, building pathology and the diagnosis and repair of construction defects.

Peter’s professional conservation experience has been diverse; from West Coast gold mining remnants to cathedrals in each of the four main New Zealand centres, and from the reconstruction of a coral building in Rarotonga, to lighthouses. His M. Arch thesis examined the tradition of rammed earth construction in Bhutan and he has subsequently undertaken specialist overseas training in a range of conservation techniques and the application of conservation methods to materials and building fabric.

His technical knowledge and experience place him at the forefront in the field of conservation and the adaptive re-use of heritage buildings while his project management skills have been a significant factor in the success of a number of important heritage projects, including the restoration of St Matthew-in-the-City and St Benedict’s churches in Auckland.

Peter is a member of Heritage New Zealand, and an Associate of the New Zealand Institute of Architects.

Sebastian joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2016 and has consolidated his skills as he worked towards his architectural registration which he achieved in 2022. He has assisted the design team with a number of important projects, including redevelopment works to the historic Melanesian Mission Building, completed and re-opened, and the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell, Bay of Islands – a staged project involving the re-modelling of the existing verandah and new additions to the rear of the building, with the upgrading of all systems and services.

Arnika is a New Zealand registered architect with more than eight years’ experience in the construction industry, working on award-winning projects in the education and healthcare sectors.

She joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2024, following graduation from an international postgraduate programme designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and integration between heritage strategies and contemporary design interventions.

She has a long-standing passion for heritage; her thesis project, involving the adaptive reuse of a reservoir structure, was the winning project at the New Zealand Student Design Awards in 2012. This prize is awarded to the top graduating student from Masters of Architecture (Professional) programmes in New Zealand in a particular year.

After graduation Arnika focussed on gaining experience across all stages of project design and delivery. She now has a strong track record working on medium to large-scale projects with complex servicing, and in managing coordination between local and international consultants.

In 2021 she was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme scholarship and spent the following two years studying at a consortium of European universities with an international intake of architects, archaeologists, and heritage professionals.

An internship at an archaeological site in Portugal became a thesis project to develop an enhancement strategy for a diverse cluster of archaeological and historic remains. The strategy aimed to activate the potential of cultural heritage to act as a catalyst for positive change, through synergies between the needs of heritage and those of contemporary daily life. The result was a strategic, flexible, and multi-staged approach designed to enhance accessibility and preservation while also enabling landscape rehabilitation.

Arnika believes that the design process should be inclusive, collaborative, and considered yet imaginative. It should be grounded in the practicalities but ambitious about the possibilities.

Arne gained his bachelor degree in architecture from the University of Auckland School of Architecture in 1986. He established his own sole practice and successfully worked on mainly residential projects for 25 years before joining Salmond Reed Architects. With his master carpenter father, he worked “hands on” over many building adventures, developing a deep affinity for the “art” of building which runs deep in his paternal whakapapa. From “mucking in” at foundation level to hand building kauri staircases, he has first-hand experience with most building elements.

Since 2011, this practical knowledge and experience has proved invaluable in his role as a specialist in detailed design, contract administration and site observation with Salmond Reed Architects. He has a natural rapport with clients, consultants and contractors, is fair minded and meticulous. Recently, this skill set has seen him involved in the preparation of condition assessments and feasibility studies for a number of heritage buildings.

Notable projects since joining Salmond Reed Architects have been the repairs and restoration to Christ Church in Ellerslie, Auckland, the façade repairs and new lighting installation designed to mark the Centennial of Auckland’s Ferry Building, the development of the Sunbeams Private Kindergarten in Western Springs, Auckland and the refurbishment of the Whare Tipuna at Maketu Marae in Kawhia as well as a number of other residential, commercial and marae projects.

Now domiciled in the Wairarapa, Arne continues to work remotely for the practice and is looking forward to enjoying what the Wairarapa has to offer towards a work/lifestyle balance and where his passion for flyfishing and the outdoors can be more fully explored.

Baxter joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2010. He is a valued member of the team due to his excellent listening skill and warm disposition.
