Project Brief
Problem
Due to the villa's lakeside location and design sensitivity, challenges included integrating reused antique materials while maintaining modern structural stability. Moisture control, precision in handcrafted detailing, and harmonizing traditional and modern elements also required careful coordination.
Solution
Each antique door and window was restored and retrofitted within steel-framed openings to ensure safety and authenticity. Timber finishes were treated for weather resistance. Construction was carried out with fine attention to detail, maintaining alignment with the client's lifestyle and aesthetic vision.
