We are removing the roof off the original villa because it needs to be replaced due to structural unsoundness. This will allow us to raise the walls slightly so that four new, larger windows on the top floor can be positioned correctly.

There are three additional benefits of this this major construction work: first, this original villa will be at the correct height to join seamlessly with the newly rebuilt villa; second, the ceilings will be higher; and third, the rafters will be able to be exposed, adding architectural interest.
