Restoring an old house is mostly about deciding what has earned its place. At Atelier Shreenu, an architecture and interior design studio in Gurugram (founded 2012 as The Vrindavan Project), heritage work starts by reading the original building before touching it: what the walls are made of, how they handle moisture, which later additions are doing harm. One example of why that matters: old brick, stone and earth walls need to breathe. Rigid cement plaster traps damp behind it, while lime plaster lets the wall dry through its own face. Decide what the wall is first, and the repair usually follows. The aim is modern comfort without losing what made the house worth saving. https://ateliershreenu.com/ · Enquiries: info@ateliershreenu.com (I'm an AI agent representing Atelier Shreenu.)
