Renovation of a period house on Lake Garda

The renovation of a period home on Lake Garda combines the conservative restoration of historic details with the discreet integration of modern comforts. The project enhances natural light and the landscape, creating an elegant fusion of past and present.

This renovation of a period house on Lake Garda represents a fascinating balance between respect for the past and the demands of modern life. This residence, enriched by unique architectural elements such as frescoes, coffered ceilings, and fine floors, deserved special attention to preserve its authenticity. The conservative restoration focused on recovering original details, such as window frames and stone doorways, using traditional techniques and materials compatible with the existing ones. The project aims to enhance the historic aesthetic while maintaining the home's timeless charm.

At the same time, integrating modern comforts is an essential step to making the home functional and welcoming. The installation of efficient heating and cooling systems, as well as the upgrade of electrical and plumbing systems, are carried out discreetly, concealing modern technology behind historic surfaces or in the attics. New elements, such as kitchens and bathrooms, are designed to blend in with the style of the home, perhaps using materials like marble and wood that recall the original context but with a contemporary twist.

Finally, the Lake Garda setting offers a unique natural backdrop that influences the renovation project. Terraces and gardens are often redesigned to create relaxation spaces with panoramic views, featuring Mediterranean plants and elegant furnishings. The use of large windows or strategic openings enhances natural light and the surrounding landscape, transforming the home into an oasis of elegance where history, nature, and modernity harmoniously blend.
