Sir Geoffrey Peren Building Strengthening and Refurbishment
Without structural strengthening, the historic Sir Geoffrey Peren Building at Massey University was threatened; however, the proposed work also provided an opportunity to peel away decades of unsympathetic building alterations to reveal architect Roy Alston Lippincott's original intentions. Beautifully restored with painstaking attention to detail, the architects have concealed, and where appropriate expressed, the new structural components. This is a multifaceted project with complex historical, structural, fire, planning and acoustic considerations. Now completed, the building is simply stunning.
