TOWN RESIDENCE RENOVATION /Revival with Contemporary Craftsmanship
Situated in the vibrant core of Poros town, this old townhouse has been meticulously reimagined through a thoughtful renovation process. The brief? To breathe new life into its compact interior while elevating aesthetics, technical performance, and modern comforts—without losing its historic town character.
Focused Restoration
SPATIAL RECONFIGURATION
By carefully dismantling non‑original elements and deteriorated finishes, the renovation preserved the building’s structural integrity. Original masonry walls and load-bearing elements were reinforced with discreet steel bracing and carbon-fibre rods, securing the structure for future generations while respecting its heritage.
WHERE WE STARTED
Modern Comfort, Traditional identity
Compact multi airco :
one system for cooling and heating, keeping aesthetics uncluttered.
Envelope Enhancement :
Interior insulation using breathable natural wool, paired with advanced waterproofing materials, dramatically improves thermal comfort while maintaining wall thickness.
Roof insulation :
Thermal insulation and waterproofing, maintaining traditional proportions but optimizing energy performance.
Adaptive Interior Layout
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILING
Extensive reinventing of spaces aiming to offer comfortable living and cater new family needs. Kitchen turned bathroom, storage turned courtyard kitchen, fireplace removed, bedrooms reorganised, bathrooms upgarded, courtyards completely reimagined.
Key architectural interventions include :
Old timber roof replaced by white timber vault ceiling enhancing spaciousness and light into main living area.
Restoration of architectural details such as decorative bricks diagonally placed under roof.
Custom joinery and recessed cabinetry woven into existing walls.
Dining courtyard at the back, introducing daylight and natural ventilation along the vertical core and garden courtyard in front for relaxation.
Material Palette
ARTISANAL FINISHES
The renovation embraces a philosophy of preservation and respect for timeless materials :
Wooden window frames carefully restored and varnished.
New warm pine flooring upstairs contrasts joyfully with durable old terrazzo, saved and polished back to life.
Steel and timber accents—like balcony balustrades and exposed ceiling joists—punctuate spaces with refined authenticity.
Handmade concrete tiles and specially ordered & installed floor marble punctuate a new, more authentic identity.
