GQA were invited to be lead consultants on the National Trust’s Maori Meeting House in the grounds of the Palladian mansion at Clandon Park. Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito, the correct name of the building that was brought over from New Zealand and installed in 1892, has unfortunately become rather tired and the roof is failing so the Trust is taking the opportunity to restore the meeting house whilst repairing the roof. GQA feel very privileged to be working on such an important part of Maori history in the UK and within such fine settings of Clandon Park. |
