Restauration of a 19th century apartment


The apartmentbuilding dates back from the 19th. century.
When the apartment on the 1st. floor was first bought, it was in terrible shape, many original materials were deteriorated by time and others spoiled by uncorrect works. The new owners carefully restaured the apartment, with the help from an architect and a civil engeneer. The original materials where recovered, and the ones that where unrecoverable, where replaced by new materials, identical to the originals. Some modern adaptations were made, such as bathroom, electrical and plumming system - which didn't exist back in the 1800s. Only natural materials where used, such as wood, stone or glass.
