Project Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this project was to restore a small historic church in the old center of Durr\u00ebs, returning its clarity and dignity while strengthening the structure for long-term use. Work focused on revealing the original stone masonry, repairing classical elements, and improving the entrance sequence for everyday worshippers and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design & Conservation Approach
\u2022 Reveal the fabric: Later render layers were removed to expose the authentic stone fa\u00e7ade.
\u2022 Respect the order: Pilasters, bases, capitals, and the triangular pediment were repaired and reprofiled; the oculus windows were conserved with new frames and glazing.
\u2022 Entry sequence: The arched gate and metal grille were refurbished; the stepped parvis was reset for a dry, even approach.
\u2022 Gentle services: Discreet rainwater pipes, lighting, and notice boards were integrated with minimal visual impact.
\u2022 Materials: Lime-based mortars compatible with historic masonry; stone patching where missing blocks were replaced in kind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
