Heritage Building Restoration
At Evolution Abseilers, we are proud to have completed the remedial restoration and painting works at 57-59 Darlinghurst Road, Potts Point, a landmark heritage building located in one of Sydney’s most iconic areas.
Project Overview
This project involved working on a heritage-listed property, with special considerations and constraints due to its historic sandstone facade, which was protected and could not be altered. Our team approached this delicate job with the care and precision required for heritage assets, ensuring all work complied with preservation standards while restoring the building's beauty and integrity.
Result
The project was completed on time and to a high standard, with the building now restored to its former glory. Our works have enhanced the structural integrity and aesthetic value of this heritage property, respecting its historic significance while giving it a renewed presence in Potts Point.
57-59 Darlinghurst Road, Potts Point — Heritage Building Restoration
Remedial Repairs and Rendering
The non-sandstone sections of the building were suffering from deterioration and required extensive render repairs. We carefully reconstructed large rendered areas, including intricate detailing at the top of the building, to match the original construction design.
Rebuilding Decorative Elements
One of the key challenges was recreating the ornate rendered features that had been damaged over time. Our skilled team restored these elements, bringing back the building’s original architectural character and charm.
Exterior Painting
Once the remedial and rendering works were completed, we carried out a full exterior repaint of the rendered surfaces, giving the building a refreshed and elegant appearance while using heritage-appropriate colours and finishes.
Heritage Complianceleaning
Strict guidelines had to be followed to preserve the original sandstone facade, which meant all work had to be carefully planned to avoid impact on protected elements.
Rope Access & Difficult Access Solutions
Using rope access techniques, our team reached every part of the building without the need for heavy scaffolding, minimizing disruption to residents and reducing the project's environmental footprint.
Render Reconstruction
The rebuilding of the top sections required skilled tradesmen to recreate historic render designs, ensuring they matched the building's original heritage features.
