Comprehensive renovation in a historic area

The renovation project in the historic area of Santiago de Compostela, focused on renovating a historic home built in 1920. The house features three floors and a total built area of 186.6 m², along with a 20 m² annex at the rear. The renovation aimed to improve habitability and energy efficiency while maintaining its historic character.

Key points:

  • Space optimization: Interior partitions were reduced to increase natural light, and the kitchen was restored to its original location on the ground floor.
  • Energy efficiency: The roof was replaced with modern insulation, and aerothermal systems were installed for heating and hot water. Insulation was added to the walls and floors.
  • Wood finishes: Special attention was given to wood finishes, particularly in the replacement of the existing floors with wooden beams anchored to the stone load-bearing walls. A wooden structural panel provides thermal and acoustic insulation, creating a warm and sustainable environment.
  • Preservation of heritage elements: Key structural elements, such as the stone facades, were restored.

This combination of modern efficiency and historical preservation, with a focus on natural wood finishes, gives the traditional home a contemporary and cozy touch.
