Designed by John McRae and completed in 1896, The Queen Victoria Building (QVB) is an iconic city landmark in the Victorian Romanesque style. In the 1980s the QVB underwent a major adaptive reuse and conservation program to become the unique retail complex it is today.
Letizia Coppo + Associates is responsible for the redesign, refurbishment, and conservation of the QVB amenities across Levels 1 and 2 of the building. This project, completed in 2022, included contemporary bathroom fitouts, restoration of historic details, and the introduction of smart water saving and energy conservation systems.
Letizia Coppo + Associates are currently providing heritage architectural advice for a comprehensive conservation works program for the QVB including repairs to the roof, stonework, awning, and external lighting as well as interior balustrade upgrades.
