The proposal for the rehabilitation of this building aims to reclaim its essence, focusing on the comprehensive recovery and maintenance of the main facade, preserving all unique elements such as stonework, railings, and tiles. In the rear aspect, due to its fragility and extreme deterioration, a significant stabilization and consolidation process of the facade is anticipated, enhancing it through the incorporation of metal balconies, reminiscent of 19th-century iron architecture.

In the formal interior composition, due to its deterioration, the complete transformation and subsequent reconstruction were considered, adapting it to a new program addressing the client’s needs. Preserving the authenticity of the original building and its connections to local architecture were among the premises of the project.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.

Do not hesitate to contact us at info@complesco.com. We make it our priority to reply hastily!
