About the Project
Restoration of Hall 12 in the Tauride Palace, Saint Petersburg. The historic interior was reconstructed through on-site surveys, measured drawings, and archival and iconographic research.
The project includes restoration of plaster finishes and architectural decoration, reconstruction of wall and ceiling paintings, the oak inlaid parquet with its eight-pointed star pattern, historic windows and doors with period hardware, and the marble fireplace and overmantel mirror.
I was the project author and lead architect, responsible for Revit 3D/BIM modeling, visualization, and working documentation.
