Salmond Reed have been advising Department of Conservation on repairs and conservation of Cape Brett Lighthouse and Keepers Cottage, located on a remote peninsular in the Bay of Islands. The lighthouse was constructed in 1909 and listed as a Historic Place Category 1 with Heritage New Zealand Taonga Pouhere.
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.
