Paul Redding - Architecture Photographer Hobart Tasmania Originally built in 1906, the Hobart GPO building holds significant heritage and cultural value and is considered as one of the most treasured properties on the Australia Post portfolio. Renascent Australia entered into internal and external works, refurbishing the GPO building over an 11 month period that is constructed of Linden Stone sourced from the original quarry in Port Arthur, Tasmania, and features a slate roof with tiles and lead capping’s that was sourced from Wales. The $7.5M project includes significant sandstone façade repair works, clock tower refurbishment, timber window renewal and re-decoration. Renascent employed the finest craftsmen available for the Slate and Lead Roof Work, as well as, the sandstone restoration and masonry repair. The duration of the project was undertaken whilst the Hobart Australia Post Office and Retail Store remained fully operational. AREA: 1500m²
