6- Due to
the dimension and display of the house, which is not possible to detect
from outside, we created two more bathrooms to serve the bedrooms and
the first floor. When creating the new bathrooms we used materials compatible
with their location and with the kind of existing structure, namely, wood
structure and floor. The material used for instance, in building the partition
walls was plaster in boards with wooden structure so as to avvoid overburdening
the existing structure.
7- The whole water distribution system was
replaced by a new inox one, embedded so as not to remain visible.
8- The sewage and electricity systems were
also replaced. The last one having several deviations so as to save the
mural painting in the corridor.
9-
At the level of the external facings in stone pitching with lime filled
joints, all the stuccos that were ruined or in the process of becoming
ruined were replaced by new ones of the same kind, that is to say,
lime and taipa ones. So were all the exterrnal frameworks, including
the entrance door framework. |

10-
This renovation was carried out respecting at all times the existing materials,
always trying to use the same type of material or similar materials so
as to avvoid incompatability and thus future pathologies. For instance,
the use of plasters of the same type avvoids future fissures caused by
dilatations of different materials, shrinkage and consequent desintegration
of the brackets.
