01VILLA RENOVATION
Many villas were designed around formal rooms that modern families barely use. Reconfiguring the layout — merging rooms, opening the kitchen, creating an ensuite — can make the same footprint feel far larger, but every wall that moves needs checking first.

Each changes how the house is used daily.
Villa walls may be load-bearing, especially on the ground floor beneath first-floor walls. An engineer confirms which walls can go and specifies beams where needed. Structural changes typically need the developer's approval and may need a permit; the contractor's consultant prepares the drawings.
Moving rooms moves their needs: a new ensuite needs drainage and extraction, a merged living room may need its air-conditioning zones rebalanced, and lighting circuits will need redesigning. These are planned with the layout, not after it.
