Facade restoration for stone houses and old houses
At Obres Vora Mar we restore the facades of stone houses and old houses in Palafrugell and the Baix Empordà. With three generations of craft, we treat the facade with the same respect as the rest of the house: we recover the original stone, keep the elements that give it character and combine it with today’s comfort.
Let’s talk about your project
Recovering the stone and character of the facade
We recover the original stone by chipping the walls by hand, consolidate the structure and beams, and fit bespoke exterior timber carpentry. Every facade is an exercise in respect for noble materials and the traditional architecture of the Baix Empordà.
What to look at before starting
We start with a visit and an assessment of the condition of the house and its structure, and propose the best way to recover it. Then we prepare the project, take care of the necessary permits and use the work to improve insulation and energy efficiency, with a single point of contact throughout the process.
