This full renovation celebrates the charm of the past, preserving and enhancing the original features — mouldings, parquet floors, cement tiles and fireplaces — which contribute fully to the identity and nobility of the place. At the same time, a contemporary intervention enriches the whole through the introduction of more modern furniture, lighting and storage. This dialogue between past and present reveals a balanced interior, where the history of the home is honoured while meeting the uses and codes of contemporary living.
