PA/04054/24: Removal of post-1945 accretions in Zurrieq
16 & 17, Misrah Santa Marija, Bubaqra, Zurrieq
Removal of post-1945 accretions, restoration to the original volume and condition of a former standalone 16th century room and the sensitive incorporation of the same to a proposed modern addition - a modern addition surrounded by a garden. Proposed widening of the front door, formation of opening in the back wall and extension to the internal volume of the separate room with frontage on the street to create a garage. Proposed addition of a room at first floor along the facade to screen a blank party wall. Restoration and adaptive reuse of all the pre-1945 rooms separately accessible through the original central courtyard - hence re-establishing the original vernacular quality of the whole complex. Proposal includes the construction of a pool and landscaping in line with the Guidelines on Trees, Shrubs and Plants for Planting and Landscaping in the Maltese Islands.
