Stone Memory Restoration is a heritage renovation project commissioned by the Valenford Cultural Foundation, focused on the careful rehabilitation of a historic stone complex. The intervention preserves original masonry, arches, and window openings while integrating contemporary structural reinforcement and monitoring systems. Weathered stone and brick surfaces are conserved in place, maintaining their patina and historical depth.

Weathered stone and brick surfaces are conserved in place, maintaining their patina and historical depth.
The construction process relies on precise, reversible techniques. Scaffolding systems, lime-based mortar repairs, and selective stone consolidation stabilize the structure without erasing its age. Laser scanning equipment and discreet lighting are used to document existing conditions and guide restoration with high accuracy.

The project is driven by the idea that renovation should extend a building’s life without rewriting its history. Rather than reconstructing lost elements, the intervention respects erosion, irregularity, and material traces as architectural value. Modern additions remain subtle and clearly secondary to the original structure.
