1. Renaissance staircase renovation
Result after the renovation work


The two massive ramps of this stair were crumbling after centuries of use, and my work was to give them back their former beauty.
I brought and carved 22 large boulders to create something as majestic and solid as the castle behind. I rebuilt from scratch the right ramp as it collapsed when I started to work on it.

The staircase is now dated and signed and I’m leaving here a trace that will last for centuries. I hope this will inspire future generations for sustainable and ecological buildings as well as heritage conservation.
