Restoration and new residential work
Restoration and rebuilding of a country house
Sanluri
Restoration of a Campidano farmhouse in Sanluri in keeping with traditional architecture: new roofs in reclaimed juniper, reeds and tiles, floors in handmade Sardinian terracotta and internal and external stone walls brought back into view.
The work involved restoring a typical Campidano farmhouse, with the aim of preserving its architectural identity and traditional building character, while adding technical solutions designed to improve performance and durability.
The existing roofs were taken down and rebuilt following local building tradition, with new roofs in juniper timber, reeds and reclaimed tiles: materials that give the rooms back the authentic character of rural Sardinian architecture.
To deal with rising damp, the existing floors were removed and the ground beneath dug out to create a ventilated cavity, completed with new insulation layers and screeds. The rooms were then laid with handmade Sardinian terracotta.
The internal and external stone walls, built in opus incertum, were brought back into view by removing the render. The stones were cleaned and the joints pointed with air lime mortar, with no cement, to respect the nature of historic masonry.
