The renovation notebook

A full restoration.
A place of its own.

Real photographs on one side. Proposed renovation concepts on the other. Exterior and interior studies explore restored masonry, renewed materials, carefully designed rooms and landscaped outdoor spaces.

AI-generated concepts are design illustrations, not existing rooms, approved plans or costed specifications. The full restoration scope has not been costed; the financial screens retain their earlier works allowances.
