The Dunedin Railway Station is one of New Zealand’s most iconic architectural landmarks, renowned for its Edwardian design and its symbolic role in the country’s rapid railway expansion during the late 19th century. Salmond Reed Architects spearheaded the conservation efforts to repair and maintain the building’s exterior on behalf of Dunedin City Council.
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.
