How to Respect History in Galician Buildings

In Galicia, every manor house, every stone façade, and every wrought-iron balcony holds centuries of history. Rehabilitation is not just about restoring walls: it is about giving new life to heritage and projecting it into the future.

1. Why Rehabilitate Instead of Rebuilding?

• Preserve memory: More than 60% of Galicia’s built heritage requires intervention.

• Build sustainably: Reuse reduces environmental impact compared to new construction.

• Increase value: A well-preserved historic center can increase property value by up to 35%.

Rehabilitation means protecting the past while investing in the future.

2. Unique Challenges in Galician Rehabilitation

Every project presents unique challenges. The key is solving them without betraying the essence of the building:

• 2.1 Authentic materials: We reproduce traditional techniques with local artisans.

• 2.2 Persistent dampness: Breathable solutions that respect aesthetics.

• 2.3 Strict regulations: Legal compliance without losing historical character.

• 2.4 Obsolete installations: Modern technology integrated invisibly.

• 2.5 Weakened structures: Hidden reinforcements and ecological treatments.

We turn problems into opportunities for innovation.

3. Success Stories in Galicia

• An 18th-Century Manor House in Lugo: Restored frescoes, consolidated noble staircase, and improved energy efficiency.

• Port Warehouse in A Coruña: Transformed from industrial space into sustainable housing with a geothermal system.

Each project is a success story: we respect the soul of the building while improving quality of life inside it.

4. Our Methodology: Tradition + Technology

• Precise historical diagnosis: 3D photogrammetry, archival research, material analysis.

• Tailor-made projects: no two buildings are alike, no standard solutions.

• Traditional crafts: Galician stonemasons, carpenters, and blacksmiths as key partners.

• Local-sourced materials: Mondoñedo stone, Galician oak, handcrafted hydraulic tiles.

This is how we achieve authentic and lasting rehabilitations.

5. Available Grants

• ARGA Program (Xunta de Galicia): up to 40% subsidy.

• EU Feder Funds: for listed buildings.

• Property tax reductions: up to 50% for 5 years.
