This English Gothic Revival style church, constructed of Basalt stone with Oamaru stone decorative detailing was built in 1894 and stands tall on a hill in the centre of Auckland. It is the longest established church in the city. The original architect’s ambitious design was never fully realised due to lack of funds.

Salmond Reed Architects has been involved with St Paul’s for over 20 years having completed the Conservation Plan in 1998 and Condition Report in 2006. More recently we are working closely with the church overseeing the formation of a 20-year Masterplan, which will see the building seismically strengthened, appropriately repaired and restored, modernised and all being well finally completed. The project has been staged to allow for manageable areas of work to be completed in a strategic way, starting with urgent repairs to the tower, porches and west front, which were completed in 2020. Salmond Reed Architects played a major role in the detailed design, project management and contract administration of this important project.

A landmark merchant villa in Herne Bay, Auckland, was given long overdue attention by its new owners. Salmond Reed Architects was engaged to work closely with client, builder and interior designer to transform what had been a “half-way house” into an attractive large family residence.

St Mary’s Old Covent Chapel was designed by Edward Mahoney and built in Ponsonby in 1865-66 as the first purpose-built chapel by the Sisters of Mercy in New Zealand. Salmond Reed Architects led a full external restoration of this Category A Gothic Revival chapel, working alongside specialist craftsmen to undertake numerous timber repairs, restoration of the beautiful lead light stained glass windows and reinstating the heritage colour scheme.
