Beneath the Surface
Freelance Project | Sep. - Dec 2023
Redesigned the interior of a private residence, ensuring the preservation of its architectural character and authenticity.
During a site visit, I suspected that the plastered walls might be hiding original stonework. To confirm this, a test was conducted, which revealed the presence of the original stone walls. Following this discovery, the project expanded to include uncovering and restoring the stonework, bringing the historic character of the structure back to life.
Oversaw the on-site work in collaboration with contractors.
