Heritage Repaint and Restoration
Project Overview
The MACq 01 Hotel, an award-winning waterfront accommodation in Hobart, is renowned for its unique blend of modern luxury and Tasmanian heritage. As part of ongoing upkeep to preserve the property’s presentation and guest experience, the hotel engaged Higgins Coatings to carry out a repaint and restoration of key exterior elements.
Services Delivered
Refurbishing a live hotel requires precise planning. Our Hobart team implemented a comprehensive repaint and surface restoration strategy. Key elements included:
- Detailed surface preparation, including cleaning, sanding, and stripping back weathered coatings.
- Application of premium protective coatings suited to the coastal environment.
- Specialist timber restoration to refresh and protect the building’s distinctive features.
Challenges and Solutions
The building’s façade and timber features had been impacted by Tasmania’s harsh coastal conditions, leading to visible fading, weathering, and areas of peeling paint. Maintaining the hotel’s high-end image while minimising disruption to guests was a priority. Our team worked closely with the hotel’s management to plan and execute the works around guest occupancy.
Results and Impact
Our experienced team coordinated all stages to meet strict timelines and deliver a flawless finish that complemented the hotel’s luxury aesthetic.
- Enhanced Presentation: Restored the hotel’s striking façade, aligning with its premium branding and guest expectations.
- Long-Term Protection: Applied high-quality coatings to withstand the challenges of a coastal climate.
- Minimal Disruption: Works were scheduled and executed with careful consideration for the hotel’s operations and guest experience.
