Replacement of the lead to the cupolas and timber structure inside and restoration of the existing ridge tiles while maintaining the original features to the building.
Installation of new mechanical and electrical services.
Opening up of the basement and 2nd floor to create 50% more public/exhibition space.
Repair and decoration throughout, including the creation a new café for visitors.
Reclaiming the central courtyard to create a stunning central glass atrium which will be open to visitors, along with access to one of the cupola’s which showcases the panoramic rooftop views across the city.
