Salmond Reed Architects were the architectural heritage consultants for the seismic upgrade and full restoration of St Barnabas and the Chapel of Our Glorified Lord at Diocesan School for Girls, completed in September 2025. Working in close collaboration with Creative ARCH design architects and Fraser Thomas Engineers, to achieve 100% of the New Building Standard (NBS), alongside a comprehensive restoration of both chapels. The project employed traditional conservation techniques and materials to preserve the historic character of these significant heritage buildings.
Inside the character house, spaces and finishes were crying out for remodelling and renewal, which included wall panel detailing, combined with a carefully selected colour palette and elegant fittings throughout.
We and our clients are thrilled with the combined team effort and the result is a striking home to be enjoyed and appreciated for the years ahead.
