Forni Stores

The Forni Stores form part of the historical buildings within the Cruise Passenger Terminal waterfront, located in Valletta’s Grand Harbour. This project highlighted two critical aspects of heritage conservation: the necessity for ongoing, interdisciplinary studies to fully understand the distinct phases of a building and their influence on construction techniques and historical structures; and the importance of careful recording and documenting prior and during interventions to support significant restoration efforts. The project underlined the evolution of restoration theories and standards and their application on local heritage.

Priory of Navarre

Our project for the re-purposing of the old Priory of Navarre was based on a design that sought to blend the building’s original austere identity as a convent, with the contrasting Baroque essence of the adjacent theatre to which it has, in time, been annexed. This difficult marriage was arranged while introducing new functions such as a booking office, exhibition spaces, and a café. Guided by reverence for the building's history, commitment to functional innovation, and an ambition to provide visually striking spaces, the intervention revitalizes the building and adapts it to allow the accommodation of contemporary uses, all the while creating a new originality and timelessness.
