Country House in Buger

This house located in the region of Raiguer in Mallorca had been renovated and refurbished on several occasions in recent decades, as the needs of the family that owned it grew. In the sixties they built an annex attached to the house old house. They plastered one of the facades with mortar cement, they built a porch with concrete beams, painted the portal of marés with salmon-colored plastic paint, etc. and they neglected the state of the Arabic tile roofs or the side facades that preserved part of the original mortar already very degraded. 
The restoration consisted of rebuilding the roof, insulating it using natural materials, restoring the exterior walls by recovering the old lime-based coatings and reproducing the sgraffito and old patinas.
Finally we designed two kitchens manufactured by local artisans.

We removed the cement that covered the old stone and clay walls that created humidity and bad odors.

We chipped the cement that covered the wall of the main facade

While restoring the sandstone portal, an original ochre-coloured whitewash appeared and we decided to recover it.

We reproduced the sgraffito on one of the exterior walls on a lime mortar plaster,
imitating aging and patina.

We restored the façade using only lime mortars and the appropriate patinas, seeking the colours of the area.

We restore beams and recover old doors. On walls and floors we use lime mortars.

We design kitchen furniture made of iron and solid oak wood.
