Lloyd Macomber
Lloyd Macomber
Lloyd joined Salmond Architects in 1993 increasing the staff numbers dramatically, from 2 to 3 people! In 2000 the practice became Salmond Reed Architects with fellow architect Peter Reed bringing his experience and knowledge of materials and detailing to compliment the design skills of others in the growing office. In 2003 Lloyd became a Director.
A practising architect skilled in all facets of design, Lloyd has been a key figure in many of Salmond Reed’s larger scale design projects, from initial conceptual planning through to detailed design, contributing to larger projects including Government House Auckland, Sacred Heart Cathedral Wellington, the Auckland Domain Wintergardens, to name a few.
Over the years, Lloyd has continued to build on a large body of residential design projects, again, from concept through to detailed design.
For 20 years Lloyd has contributed to Salmond Reed Architects’ marae and church conservation and new development projects, arranging and carrying out condition assessments, feasibility studies, design and documentation.
Lloyd’s position in the 20-strong practice continues to evolve. While he keeps a close eye on the design of projects large and small, he shares the responsibility of general business matters with fellow Directors Rosalie Stanley and Philip Graham.
Of late, Lloyd is increasingly active as a heritage consultant in assisting other architects and clients with successfully integrating new architecture with old in the adaptive re-use of heritage buildings throughout New Zealand.

Rosalie is particularly drawn to residential alteration and renovation work where her strong grasp of historic form and detail comes to the fore. She develops excellent relationships with her clients – especially important in residential work –and is committed to the idea that open communication between architect, client and contractor is the key to achieving quality results which exceed expectations.
Building on her skills in the management of the residential alteration process Rosalie has extended her expertise to encompass heritage related commercial work and the financial management and marketing demands of the diverse Salmond Reed Architects practice.

Sebastian Sayers
Sebastian joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2016 and has consolidated his skills as he worked towards his architectural registration which he achieved in 2022. He has assisted the design team with a number of important projects, including redevelopment works to the historic Melanesian Mission Building, completed and re-opened, and the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell, Bay of Islands – a staged project involving the re-modelling of the existing verandah and new additions to the rear of the building, with the upgrading of all systems and services.
Arnika Blount
Arnika Blount
Arnika is a New Zealand registered architect with more than eight years’ experience in the construction industry, working on award-winning projects in the education and healthcare sectors.
She joined Salmond Reed Architects in 2024, following graduation from an international postgraduate programme designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and integration between heritage strategies and contemporary design interventions.
She has a long-standing passion for heritage; her thesis project, involving the adaptive reuse of a reservoir structure, was the winning project at the New Zealand Student Design Awards in 2012. This prize is awarded to the top graduating student from Masters of Architecture (Professional) programmes in New Zealand in a particular year.
After graduation Arnika focussed on gaining experience across all stages of project design and delivery. She now has a strong track record working on medium to large-scale projects with complex servicing, and in managing coordination between local and international consultants.
In 2021 she was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme scholarship and spent the following two years studying at a consortium of European universities with an international intake of architects, archaeologists, and heritage professionals.
An internship at an archaeological site in Portugal became a thesis project to develop an enhancement strategy for a diverse cluster of archaeological and historic remains. The strategy aimed to activate the potential of cultural heritage to act as a catalyst for positive change, through synergies between the needs of heritage and those of contemporary daily life. The result was a strategic, flexible, and multi-staged approach designed to enhance accessibility and preservation while also enabling landscape rehabilitation.
Arnika believes that the design process should be inclusive, collaborative, and considered yet imaginative. It should be grounded in the practicalities but ambitious about the possibilities.
Arne Cobb
Arne Cobb
Arne gained his bachelor degree in architecture from the University of Auckland School of Architecture in 1986. He established his own sole practice and successfully worked on mainly residential projects for 25 years before joining Salmond Reed Architects. With his master carpenter father, he worked “hands on” over many building adventures, developing a deep affinity for the “art” of building which runs deep in his paternal whakapapa. From “mucking in” at foundation level to hand building kauri staircases, he has first-hand experience with most building elements.
Since 2011, this practical knowledge and experience has proved invaluable in his role as a specialist in detailed design, contract administration and site observation with Salmond Reed Architects. He has a natural rapport with clients, consultants and contractors, is fair minded and meticulous. Recently, this skill set has seen him involved in the preparation of condition assessments and feasibility studies for a number of heritage buildings.
Notable projects since joining Salmond Reed Architects have been the repairs and restoration to Christ Church in Ellerslie, Auckland, the façade repairs and new lighting installation designed to mark the Centennial of Auckland’s Ferry Building, the development of the Sunbeams Private Kindergarten in Western Springs, Auckland and the refurbishment of the Whare Tipuna at Maketu Marae in Kawhia as well as a number of other residential, commercial and marae projects.
Now domiciled in the Wairarapa, Arne continues to work remotely for the practice and is looking forward to enjoying what the Wairarapa has to offer towards a work/lifestyle balance and where his passion for flyfishing and the outdoors can be more fully explored.
