Mediterranean Apartment Renovation - Marseilles
Under a layer of lino and glue an original period Carrara Marble mantelpiece was discovered. The fireplace was reopened for use and a newspaper cutting was found dating 1962. The door between lounge and kitchen was disposed of and an opening created to allow communication between the volumes. The original "tomettes" (hexagonal terracotta tiles) had been tiled over and ruined. This second layer was removed and replaced in the lounge with light bamboo parquet.
