House in Gravari Street

Restoration of the facades of a historic neoclassical house in one of the main streets of Parikia town.

This was a challenging and very interesting restoration, third in the same street. The idea was to bring back the old charm of the house that a former tobacco producer had built and once hosted the noble visitors of the island.

We used the historic plaster (pozzolanic plaster used for archaeological restorations) and we made samples, so that the colors were as near as the original ones of 1885. We have also copied the decorative cornices and pilasters and have created the exact mold because each one of them was unique.

It was a detailed and careful work with respect to the history and the personality of the building that highlighted its beauty and gave fresh look to the entire neighborhood.
