Description

The project comprised renovation of the Baroque complex Kuks. The construction works were aimed at reconstruction of the unused rooms – upgrade of utility lines, building services, plasterwork, floors and boiler rooms. A large part of the project focuses on restoration of historic elements – e.g. a sensitive uncovering of a Baroque “Danse Macabre” mural painting (secco) or renovation of historic ceilings from the 18th century, etc. All restoration works were carried out in parallel to the construction works. The objective of the works performed in the hospital garden was to restore its use value – landscaping, felling of trees, new flowerbeds and patches, lawns and planting of new fruit trees. The construction works were on the utility lines, irrigation system, fountains, roads, facilities for gardeners and machines, greenhouses etc.
