About the Project

Repair, conservation, and partial replacement of windows in the Tauride Palace. The work began with surveys and photographic documentation of different timber and steel window types, together with an assessment of frames, finishes, glazing, and hardware.

Solutions were developed for each type to restore geometry and finishes. In selected cases, insulated glazing is introduced on the inner line while preserving the historic exterior appearance. Measured surveys and a Revit 3D model formed the basis for location plans, tagging, details, specifications, and typical window drawings.

I worked as lead architect and was responsible for the Revit model, visualization, and working documentation.
