• Degraded masonry lintels and apron were restored with sandstone matched to the original; brick was cleaned and repointed.

• New windows at grade along the north elevation were designed to match existing roundhead windows along the east elevation; brick was reused from other locations in the building to create the arched openings.

• Original timber posts in the basement were suffering from rot and were reinforced; original timbers and masonry walls are exposed throughout the building interior.

• Badly degraded brick was selectively covered with protective aluminum rainscreen panelling.

• The fifth and sixth storeys step back from the original façade, allowing room for a glass-railed deck behind the parapet of the existing roof.

• The new addition makes use of a contemporary vocabulary to create a visual contrast distinguishing periods in the building’s century-long history.

• A new cantilever roof extends over this deck to align with the original façade, and includes punch-outs bringing daylight to upper floors.
