Description:
Restoration of a villa built in 1896 in various historical styles, especially 17th century Italian Baroque and 16th century French Renaissance, after a fire destroying the interior in 1976. The restoration took about one year. At the front side the window and door frames as well as the brick work and stucco have been renovated. A new storey in the same style has been added at the back. This has been done to render the building suitable for use as offices.
