Work has been completed to give the townhouse at 2/4 Krzywe Koło Street in Warsaw a new colour scheme. Located in the Old Town, the building now looks like new
The changes were announced by the Office of the Capital Conservator of Monuments. The tenement house at 2/4 Krzywe Koło Street is located in a sequence of buildings whose renovation began in 2016 thanks to the co-financing of the City of Warsaw. At that time, several façades were renovated, new insulation of the foundations was installed and part of the roofing was replaced. In addition, the staircases were renovated. Now the tenement house at 2/4 Krzywe Koło Street has joined this group
According to the conservator, the front of the tenement needed urgent renovation. In particular, the plasterwork of the lower part of the building was in need of it, where the dampness of the wall had caused the most damage
The ground floor also showed signs of makeshift repairs and secondary repainting. This year’s renovation consisted of repairing and drying the masonry, protecting the cracks, and completing and restoring the plastering of the wall and architectural elements
The new top layer of the wall was made using a tinted plaster technique. The colour was selected on the basis of stratigraphic studies, reports the Office of the Capital Conservator of Monuments
In addition, the stucco decoration, the stone facing of the plinth, the door and window frames and the metalwork were repaired. The copper sheet metal flashings were also replaced
The amount of the grant was PLN 150,000, which is almost 60 per cent of the city’s share of the costs
