The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is situated on the traditional lands of the Palawa people and comprises a collection of contemporary and historic structures, including the first permanent structure built in Hobart, the rare and intact Bond Store, together with the adjacent Watergate Wall. The conservation of these 200-year-old buildings was essential due to recent weather damage and ongoing deterioration.

Known for our expertise in retrofit, creative reuse, repair, and conservation, Purcell were engaged as Heritage Architect to re-render and re-roof the Bond Store to its original state and stabilise and re-render the Watergate Wall at the site’s entrance.
