For a restoration such as this one to be successful the approach and process must be one of true collaboration. From the concept design through to the crew who kept the site clean on a daily basis during construction - so many people played a hand in bringing about this amazing transformation. Passion, determination and commitment were common to all who were involved.
Since before hammer hit a nail or a shovel dug dirt, there was a clear understanding of the end vision of the project for all involved. The agreed approach, befitting of a magnificent heritage building of this kind, was to not look at what could be added, but to undertake a shared journey in sensitively paring back elements, so that the glory of the building and its story can be revealed sensibly.
