Abstract

The position of the "Terzakis house" in the town of Nafplion supports scientific findings that is probably a converted pre-revolutionary building, according to Ottoman construction and morphological standards[5]. On the Ground Floor in the western space, a HEA 200 metal beam will be supported under the floor wall with beam support with cross intermediate elements.  All the interior walls of the main floor are reconstructed as light construction with visible coating as the existing ones, and according to the static proposal. Reconstruction of doors and windows of the west courtyard.  The flooring of all areas of the Floor will be done with a double wooden element. It is planned to reconstruct a wall of light structure at the western boundary of the hall. To improve the static, a reconstructed section of a wall of a built structure corresponds to the surviving traces on the ground floor. Maintenance and repainting of floor and ground floor openings and the addition of double-glazing are needed. Repair and reinforcement in the SW corner of the building due to the (arbitrary) foundation here of a column of an adjacent building! The attic is very critical for the reconstruction of roof support elements of the small flat roof and of the surfaces of the construction. A fully reconstructed wall of lightweight structure at the roof boundary was also proposed. It is planned to reconstruct all parts of the wall at the staircase. Light walls defining the eastern zone will be aligned for static reasons.     For the roof completion of its western edge and its protruding underlying wooden cover.
