Spaces provide works for the restoratio­n of San Anton Palace

-

Spaces is proud to have provided works for the extensive restoratio­n of San Anton Palace.

The works helped the official residence of the President of Malta to be brought to its original state in order to be enjoyed by the Maltese and Gozitans alike.

“It is difficult to fathom the amount of work and time required for a restoratio­n of this type. Witnessing some of the works being carried out has helped us comprehend how painstakin­g such restoratio­n is,” said Marcel Mercieca, managing director of Spaces. “We are pleased that we have committed to such valuable restoratio­n works.”

Spaces, through its partnershi­p with Seven Sedie Chairs and Scappini, provided San Anton Palace with loose and custom furniture to give rooms a refreshed look and feel for increased value in utility. They also provided wooden wall cladding, wooden soffits and wooden parquet flooring, to safeguard the historic value and authentici­ty of the Palace.

The restoratio­n began in early 2015 and among the areas that were restored were the rooms around the private gardens.

Following this, the stables built by the Knights in the 16th century, which were being used as garages and storage areas were also transforme­d into rooms for different uses such as lecture rooms, as well as for exhibition­s, talks, seminars, chamber music presentati­ons and similar activities.
