The second life of an episcopal granary...

The owner is creating a guest-house in the long dormant imposing stone edifice (formerly used for storage). We wished to preserve the building’s character as much as possible therefore only a roof superstructure was built onto the roof to emphasize the entrance. The National Office of Cultural Heritage insisted on retaining the wooden gate. We moved the gate forward and put it in a frame so that it would not diminish the building’s energy efficiency.
