GENERAL CONTRACTING FOR NETWORKS AND FACILITIES | HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION

Historic structures are not only testaments to past eras but also unique architecture requiring exceptional care. Work on properties under conservator protection represents the pinnacle of construction craftsmanship. At TERLAN, we combine respect for history with modern engineering knowledge, offering comprehensive restoration, reconstruction, and adaptive reuse services for historic buildings.

We restore former glory to palaces and industrial heritage architecture, ensuring their authentic character is preserved for future generations.

Every historic landmark presents an individual history and unique technical challenges. Our scope covers the complete conservation and construction cycle:

Conservation and Restoration Works: Comprehensive restoration of historic facades, stucco, architectural details, and stone, brick, and timber elements.
Structural Strengthening and Drying: Moisture-proofing insulation (including modern chemical injections), foundation and vault reinforcement, and historic timber truss repair.
Adaptive Reuse: Adapting historic buildings for new functional uses (e.g., transforming old factories or breweries into modern office, hotel, or cultural spaces) while respecting their historic fabric.
Historical Replication: Reconstruction of damaged architectural details based on stratigraphic research, archival plans, and historical photography.

Historic restoration leaves no room for error or haste. By selecting TERLAN as your general contractor, you entrust history to professionals:
