Executive Summary

A layered renovation of an established Mediterranean estate — preserving original character, reinforcing failing structure, and adding volume detailed to feel original.

Challenge

Original character worth preserving, layered over failing structure, dated systems, and an addition that had to feel original to the house.

Leadership

Selective demolition, discreet structural reinforcement, and an addition detailed to disappear into the existing architecture.
