Luxury Villa Renovation
Complete renovation of a historic villa, carefully preserving its architectural character while integrating modern comforts and systems. The project required sensitive restoration techniques and custom craftsmanship.
Project Overview
This Zanzibari villa, dating from the early 20th century, had been neglected for decades. Our challenge was to restore its historic beauty while making it a comfortable modern residence.
We worked closely with heritage consultants to ensure that all restoration work respected the building's architectural significance.
Preservation Work
The renovation carefully preserved:
- Original Stonework: Cleaned, repaired, and restored to original condition
- Carved Wooden Doors: Traditional Zanzibari doors restored by local craftsmen
- Decorative Elements: Plasterwork and ornamental features repaired
- Floor Tiles: Original tiles preserved and supplemented with matching replacements
Modern Upgrades
While preserving character, we added modern conveniences:
- Central air conditioning with hidden vents
- Complete electrical rewiring with modern safety standards
- New plumbing throughout
- Smart home controls for lighting and climate
- Modern kitchen with traditional aesthetic
- Updated bathrooms with luxury fixtures
The Result
The villa now offers the best of both worlds: the charm and character of a historic Zanzibari building with all the comforts expected in a luxury residence.
