What We Do

The company has a wealth of experience in heritage architecture and conservation. We appreciate and understand New Zealand history and we work closely with professional historians to research and document our heritage projects.

We have detailed knowledge of current best practice conservation methods, and we've helped restore some of the most significant buildings in the country. We are currently involved with the redevelopment of the Britomart Precinct in downtown Auckland.

The company practises a design-oriented approach to heritage projects — we combine strong creative skills with a sound understanding of traditional construction methods and modern technologies to solve technical and design challenges posed by conservation projects.

The team at SRA combines some of the most able talent in the country — not only in design but also building surveys, documentation, specialist planning and project management. Our range of architectural and design services includes:
