Located in Devonport’s heritage neighbourhood, this project transformed a 1980s house and garage into a contemporary home and pottery studio. The new design balances contemporary design sensibilities with the area's traditional scale and character. Rich materiality and bespoke interior and exterior design create a comfortable and timeless home.

Highwic, in Epsom, Auckland is one of New Zealand's finest timber gothic revival houses, which has become Auckland's best-known historic house museum. Salmond Reed Architects led a full internal and external restoration, safeguarding its future, and ensuring that the restored house provides an authentic impression, transporting visitors back in time and adding immeasurable to the authenticity of their museum experience.

Salmond Reed have been instrumental in the restoration and seismic upgrade of the building which was completed in 2022, not only coordinating the seismic upgrade and major repairs to the building, but designing and implementing the complete restoration of the interior of the the building. The building now meets the standard of >67% of the New Building Standard and has been re-presented with robust finishes and detailing that reflects the historic importance of this architectural gem of a building.
