The restoration of the Medical Superintendent's house
at the former Point Nepean Quarantine Station in Victoria was completed under the supervision of our conservation team.

The large, single-storey house was built in 1899 and incorporates at least two rooms from the former doctor's house, originally constructed in 1854. The works included the reinstatement of the original verandah, and refurbishment of four rooms at the front of the building.

This project was awarded a Commendation in the Outstanding Building Conservation category of the Architecture & Design Excellence in the South East Awards 2009. The jury commended Lovell Chen's work as, "A masterful example of restoration and reconstruction of a valuable Edwardian building. Such attention to detail demonstrates the value of investment in important buildings that are part of the public estate".
