Eastbourne Bus Garage
The project involved a full strip out of the bus garage portion, replacing and protecting the rusting roof portals, re-roofing, seismic strengthening and the addition of large sliding timber doors to match the original ones.
The existing upper level apartments and ground floor workshops under were completely stripped out, reconfigured and upgraded.
All of this work was done in close cooperation with the Hutt City Council to optimise the apartment sizes and future uses that were briefed.
The building is a registered category 2 historic place and the principles established by the conservation architect were incorporated into the design, and agreed in meetings with historic places trust and Hutt City Council.
The colours and materials were all faithful replications of the original colour schemes etc.
