Σύνοψη

Since I bought my car three years ago I was always touring in the roads of the old inside the walls Nicosia and in the old neighbourhoods of Strovolos.
Looking at the old houses, the old churches and other old buildings I was thinking how important is the restoration process to keep alive our tradition and character.
When the "project time" came I decided to propose my idea of doing a project dealing with the Restoration of an old house. My idea was accepted.
Days later I found this old house in the old neighbourhood of Strovolos. I investigated the past and the present of the house and I detected the problems and I proposed some ideas for Restoration.
Photographs, measured drawings, a list of materials that might be used for restoration are submitted in the following chapters.
The house was build 86 years ago and if it is restored according to my proposed
ideas it will last a considerable time keeping it's character and our tradition intact and
alive.
