Date

2008–2015

St Gabriel's was one of the largest and most expensive of the new churches in the Hokianga to be built by 1900. Today, it remains as one of the earliest churches still on its original site and is definitely a Hokianga destination worth making, as it sits on a promontory in clear sight for miles before reaching it.

Salmond Reed Architects prepared an initial condition assessment report in 2008, returning to the site in 2013 to reassess the failing building condition. Further detailed documentation for much needed repairs and maintenance followed and remedial work to cladding, buttresses, windows and the tower and bell turret was completed in 2015.

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.

The former Synagogue building at the corner of Princes Street and Bowen Avenue dates from 1886. It was purpose designed as a synagogue for the Jewish community by Edward Bartley.

Salmond Reed was tasked with breathing new life into a Devonport villa located in Stanley Point, which had been subject to early alterations distorting its original provenance.
