Time has mercilessly left its marks and after many years without maintenance the house was ruined showing several pathologies, mainly at the level of the wood structures, particularly those of the covering and floors.

The initial building concept and the nobility of the interior finish, mainly the stuccos, frescos (marbling) of facings and wood simulations in the existing doors were a clear sign that the house had been inhabited by a member of aristocracy.

At the beginning the recuperation project implied the use of modern techniques and methods, at structure level, which meant metallic and concrete binding beams. On the other hand we had to think about disturbing as little as possible the ground floor tenant. He is 80 years old and it would be difficult for him to adapt to the situation. As the property has a surrounding area of around 1000m2 an outbuilding with a garage downstairs and an apartment upstairs was planned. So during the works the tenant could move there without changing his daily routine too much.
