At Velló Monfort Arquitectos, we specialise in revitalising old flats, rescuing their original charm and fusing it with modern comforts. Here is an in-depth guide on how we approach the renovation process to preserve and enhance the original features of your flat.
Assessment of the existing structure
Initial diagnosis
Before starting any project, we carry out a thorough diagnosis to assess the current state of the property. This process involves a detailed inspection where we identify architectural and structural elements that have significant historical value. From hardwood floors to antique mouldings and tiles, every detail is carefully evaluated to develop a plan to restore and preserve them, thus maintaining the essence and character of the flat.

Detailed planning
Once we have identified the key elements, we set about drawing up a meticulous plan that sets out how to integrate these elements into the renovated design. This plan also includes strategies to improve the functionality and energy efficiency of the flat, without compromising its original charm. At this stage, we also consider possible extensions and redistributions of spaces that enhance the home, while respecting its original structure.
Restoration strategies
Specialised techniques
At Velló Monfort Arquitectos, we pride ourselves on using specialised restoration techniques that respect the original integrity of historic floor elements. This may involve the careful restoration of antique floors, the repair of ornamental mouldings or the recovery of period elements, always with a focus on preserving their beauty and authenticity. Our expert team works with delicacy and precision, ensuring results that stand out for their quality and historical fidelity.
Selection of materials
The choice of materials is a crucial aspect of the restoration process. We focus on selecting materials that not only complement the historic details, but also offer durability and meet modern standards of comfort and efficiency. From the recovery of original materials to the incorporation of modern elements that harmonise with the style of the floor, every detail is carefully considered to create an environment that breathes history and elegance.
Integration of modern conveniences
Functional and aesthetic design
We strive to create a design that combines modern functionality with historical aesthetics. This means incorporating modern solutions, such as efficient heating systems and intelligent storage, that integrate harmoniously with the original elements of the flat. Our aim is to create spaces that are not only visually appealing, but also comfortable and practical for everyday living.
Innovation and comfort
As well as restoring historic elements, we are also at the forefront of modern innovations that can increase the comfort and functionality of your home. This can include advanced lighting solutions, home automation systems and improved thermal and acoustic insulation, ensuring a home that combines the best of old and new.
