Brief
To recreate the original pressed tin ceiling panels which had deteriorated over time.
Client
Civic Theatre, Auckland
Manufacture
Each panel was re-created from a combination of machined and sculpted components. Each individual panel was measured and mapped in its entirety so that the replica model would be identical to the original.
Finished Results / Interesting Notes
The building is of historical value but is not an official listed building. This meant the only stipulations placed upon us were that the replacement panels had to be identical in look but not necessarily identical in materials, so allowing us to use modern materials and forming techniques to create the panels.
