The brave use of scraffito on a heritage building in the Britomart precinct has made for an excellent outcome. 'Drawing' onto a blank face of an existing historic building to provide historical reference makes a contemporary contribution to an ongoing discussion around heritage attitudes. Enormous care has been taken to restore the intricate plasterwork of the building’s elaborate Victorian façade on Customs Street, and the re-orientation of the building to Takutai Square makes an excellent contribution to Britomart’s urban space.
