2024 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Dunedin Railway Station Restoration
The existing heritage fabric of the main railway station has been enhanced with a back-to-the-future rebuild of the roofline. New copper tiles have been painstakingly created to replace the deteriorated painted fish-scale zinc tiles that were corroding in the central dome, while original copper tiles in the clocktower were dismantled and stripped of modern paint and meticulously refixed. Marseille tiles of the main roofs were removed, cleaned of a century of detritus and replaced, leaving the building looking better than new, but the same as always.
