Northland St Gabriel’s Church

Location

Pawarenga, Hokianga, Northland

Client

Gabriel’s Church Trustees

Date

2008–2015

St Gabriel's was one of the largest and most expensive of the new churches in the Hokianga to be built by 1900. Today, it remains as one of the earliest churches still on its original site and is definitely a Hokianga destination worth making, as it sits on a promontory in clear sight for miles before reaching it.

Salmond Reed Architects prepared an initial condition assessment report in 2008, returning to the site in 2013 to reassess the failing building condition. Further detailed documentation for much needed repairs and maintenance followed and remedial work to cladding, buttresses, windows and the tower and bell turret was completed in 2015.

For this Herne Bay Auckland inner-city villa, our client’s brief called for the removal of a 1980’s makeover and reinstatement of heritage features of the house.

In 1993 Salmond Architects was commissioned to prepare a Conservation Plan for Auckland City’s main Anglican church, St Matthew in-the-City, at the junction of Wellesley and Hobson Streets.

The former Auckland Chief Post Office is one of New Zealand’s most recognisable historic buildings. Salmond Reed Architects have provided specialist conservation advice since this iconic landmark, dating from 1912, was first converted into the Britomart railway station in 2004. The exterior has been restored as the cornerstone historic building of New Zealand’s largest transport infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.
