Recycling Tosca

When we talk about ecological architecture in restoration or complete refurbishments, we also talk about the recycling and the reuse of materials from the site. In this house we reused the Tosca stone that formed part of an existing wall which separated the day area from the kitchen, to transform it into steps in the new Southern naya.

Step 1. Starting point. Existing Tosca wall.

Step 2. Recycling the Tosca that has been delicately extracted and stored in the existing Eastern Naya.

Step 3. Excavation and preparation of the new Southern naya.

Step 4. Construction of the new Southern naya. 

Step 5. New steps with the recycled tosca. .

Step 6. Final result.
