Stokes Rousseau

Ian Potter Museum – Heritage Façade & Landscape Remediation

Stokes Rousseau was engaged to deliver heritage façade remediation, chimney cap restoration, cultural rubble conservation, and extensive entry landscaping works for the rejuvenated Ian Potter Museum.

The project involved the careful restoration of the heritage-listed building, including masonry repointing, stone replacement, and lintel remediation to ensure long-term structural stability and historical accuracy. Surrounding the building, major civil and landscape works were undertaken, including the construction of a structural pedestrian bridge and the integration of soft landscaping with sustainable plantings and architectural design elements to enhance the museum’s entrance.

Conservation of the cultural rubble along the Swanston Street façade involved structural reinforcement and delicate sculptural restoration, preserving the integrity of the museum’s cultural and artistic significance.

With a focus on longevity, sensitivity, and function, Stokes Rousseau continues to support the enhancement of civic spaces through technically complex and architecturally considered work.

We are proud to share the works at St Francis Catholic College, formally Catholic Regional College. The project consisted of partial demolition of the existing Gadal building and the extension and construction of a new single level STEAM learning classroom. The works transformed the building to provide a state of the art learning environment for the students, including 3D printers, green rooms and undercover project yards.

Further to the STEAM extension, the project also saw the refurbishment of the staff building. This included internal strip out works and structural modifications to add new meeting spaces and upgrade the staff kitchen areas.
