Comprehensive Rehabilitation in Lugo: From Neglect to Splendor

In the very heart of the Walled City, a building from the early 20th century has just regained all its splendor thanks to an ambitious comprehensive rehabilitation in Lugo carried out by the teams of Desarrolla Obras y Servicios.

The project designed by architects Antonio Tort Pérez and Francisco García del Río stands as an exemplary model of how it is possible to restore urban heritage while respecting its essence and adapting it to current standards of comfort, livability, and accessibility.The intervention has focused on the upper floors, which had been completely abandoned for years, while the ground floor, dedicated to retail, has remained untouched and operational.This uniqueness has posed a technical challenge that Desarrolla Obras y Servicios has addressed with precise planning and innovative construction solutions, actions that have enabled the successful completion of this comprehensive rehabilitation in Lugo.

The Challenge of the Interior Structure

One of the critical aspects of the project has been the renovation of the interior structure. Although the stone load-bearing walls appeared to be in good condition, the original horizontal framework, consisting of wooden beams and planks, turned out to be of low quality.Therefore, it was completely demolished and replaced with a modern system of steel beams and joists. This action not only ensures long-term structural stability, but also represents a fundamental step in this comprehensive rehabilitation in Lugo to ensure durability and safety.The severely deteriorated roof has also been completely replaced, adjusting its slope to the permitted 30° according to urban regulations, which improves both water drainage and the building's energy performanceedification.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation in Lugo: The Historical Value

Similarly, the listed architectural elements of the main facade, such as galleries, bay windows, and original woodwork, have been preserved, replacing only those pieces that could not be restored. In the rear, new galleries and windows with PVC joinery and double insulating glass were incorporated, all within the framework of a comprehensive rehabilitation in Lugo that blends tradition and innovation.Another highlight has been the integration of an elevator and a new staircase, all without affecting the ground floor structure or compromising the existing foundation. This was made possible thanks to a functional design that maximized the available space, including solutions such as a small pit and a ramp at the entrance.Regarding new uses, the first floor has been redistributed to accommodate a residence and two offices, while the upper floors and attic have restored the pre-existing residential use. In total, nearly a thousand square meters of surface area have been rehabilitated within the entire building.Ultimately, a project whose execution has been a stimulating challenge, which is why we do not want to miss the opportunity to thank the developers for their trust in our work.Visit us at the construction company headquarters in Lugo.
