About the Project
Restoration of Hall 22 in the Tauride Palace, Saint Petersburg. The design is based on archival and iconographic research, measured surveys, and on-site documentation of the existing interior.
The project includes reconstruction of the historic ceiling and cove paintings, oak parquet, wall finishes, and architectural decoration, along with restoration of windows, doors, and the historic mirror, and reconstruction of two tiled stoves based on documented precedents.
I was the project author and lead architect, responsible for Revit 3D modeling, visualization, and working documentation.
