Auckland War Memorial Museum
For almost 30 years Salmond Reed Architects has been engaged to provide conservation planning, maintenance and policy guidance to the Museum administration.
Following the 1990s restoration, funded by a major Getty Foundation Trust grant, Salmond Reed Architects has worked closely with a succession of design teams, providing professional advice on new design and major redevelopment of the building and its displays, including major refurbishment of galleries, conservation projects and cyclical maintenance of the heritage fabric.
In close collaboration with the Museum, Salmond Reed Architects has developed a detailed Heritage Asset Management Plan and maintenance programme to guide the continuing maintenance of this nationally important iconic building.
Projects have included restoration of the central skylight, ongoing repairs to stonework and roofing, copper capping protection of the parapet walls, restoration of the Sanctuary internally and externally, including the copper roof and repair of leadlights and plasterwork.
