    Town house in the Statenkwartier: ceilings, arch and cornices

    Three reed ceilings from 1904, cracked from one ceiling rose to the next, and a plastered arch between the front and back room. We fixed the loose sections, ran four metres of new cornice and finished everything in limewash. Nine working days, with the family living in.

    Zeeheldenkwartier: a stairwell from 1895

    The shared stairwell of a town house divided into flats. We restored the ceiling with its painted borders, secured loose ornaments and brought the pilasters back to a crisp profile. Four weeks, in two phases, so the residents could keep using the stairs.

    Scheveningen: lime-based concrete look

    A flat just off the seafront, where the salty air makes ordinary paint peel within a few years. Lime-based concrete look on the living room and kitchen walls. The wall breathes, and in the afternoon light the pattern really comes alive. Seven working days.
