Building in Via Giulia 93

Projects | Restoration

Restoration, structural reinforcement and functional adjusting.

The complete rehabilitation project of the building, which is about to be finished, needed an archival research to understand the historical building stratigraphy. The main walls seem to have been originally built at the time of the Middle Ages, while the building has reached the current configuration in the 1600.

We do not exclude Antonio da Sangallo’s intervention. To proceed to the restoration, we first had to reinforce all the structures by creating new foundations, by using reinforcing straps for the vaults and the vertical walls, by reconstructing the roof and reinforcing the slabs.

The refurbishment of the apartments is just reaching its conclusion in these days; the project tries to recover the sense of space and materials typical of Stately Roman palaces by using Roman “cotto” for flooring, chestnut-wood for ceilings and “peperino” stone for window and door frames.

The small fountain’s roaring now resounds throughout the small patio garden, refreshing the entrance paved with bricks laid edge on and creating light suggestions in the evening hours.
