The Kew RSL refurbishment involved the careful restoration and adaptive reuse of “Wilton,” a heritage-listed Victorian residence originally designed in 1886 by architect Guyon Purchas. Figurehead led the construction to transform the building into a functional community club, seamlessly integrating contemporary amenities while preserving its historic fabric.

Working alongside Ascui & Co Architects, our team managed the complexities of heritage conservation, balancing meticulous craftsmanship with modern build standards. The project required precision sequencing and risk management to maintain the integrity of original features while introducing new facilities designed to meet community needs.

Delivered on a tight six-month program, this $3 million refurbishment stands as a testament to Figurehead’s capability in heritage projects — where respect for materiality, detailed execution, and thoughtful collaboration come together to deliver lasting value.
