Construction is nearing completion, and the project is entering its final phase. Over several
months, the work has focused on revealing the building’s existing qualities while carefully
introducing new architectural elements:
– restoration of the historic vaulted ceilings,
– consolidation of the original masonry,
– seamless integration of all technical systems,
– fabrication of bespoke curved joinery,
– application of breathable lime plaster,
– creation of a coffered oak ceiling incorporating lighting, heating, and air conditioning while
preserving the clarity of the historic interiors.
Matte terrazzo floors on the ground level and polished terrazzo in the lower gallery respond
to the changing qualities of daylight, enhanced by light wells that connect the garden with the
artists’ residency. Every detail reflects an ongoing dialogue between architectural heritage
and contemporary intervention.
