The renovation of an ancient property that's been bought only recently needs to be a thoroughly pondered decision. And for it to be absolutely spot on, you must focus on the following basics, that will make a perfect residence out of your ancient property.
Planimetry
The house planimetry helps you consider all space management possibilities that could potentially come to life. Additionally, it is possible to adapt your ancient property to your current preferences if you are provided with each room's measurements, so as to redesign spaces whilst taking it easy.
The house structure
The original house structure can influence the architectural interventions that will be carried out inside it. For instance, the way bearing walls or pillars are placed has an impact on the design of the space, which is difficult to modify. Room distribution, in fact, is a crucial factor in renovating an ancient property.
Wall height
We quite often neglect wall height and how much free space there is, even though it plays a decisive role in house refurbishment. As we carry out architectural interventions to reorganize spaces, we suggest installing a false ceiling, that will facilitate the placement of embedded lights and air conditioning, should they be necessary. Therefore, when you visit the ancient property you have set your heart on, take a look at the vertical space each room has and lightly hit the walls with your knuckles, to see if there's a false ceiling or not. Should it be the case, it'll be a lot easier to measure your installations in advance.
Humidity
Humidity is a sensitive topic, considering how long it takes to carry out potential repair. The way water behaves is unpredictable, thus meaning that a solution can only be found through trial and error most of the times. Therefore, we suggest taking a careful look at each wall in your ancient property, which, due to the passing of time, may present infiltrations or leaks.
