The Architect

Having arrived only 2 weeks ago, and still waiting for the final permit to start work on the house. La Indulgenza has a lot of potential so finding the right architect to help me bring my ideas to life has been high on the list. Decision was made on Monday. Both architects that I had contacted had hoards of experience in restoration.

Dott C.Busuttil was head of restoration works on ST John's co-Cathedral in Valletta and now has his own studio. I made his acquaintance years ago when we were both students in Florence.

Mireille Fsadni has worked on various restoration projects, mostly public. The one project she has worked on that I get to see each time I make my way to Valletta is the Porte des Bombes, the gateway to Floriana. Her deep understanding of the Maltese limestone will come in handy (plenty of that at La Indulgenza). Mireille is my cousin.

I have gone for the latter, not for the family connection, but only after careful consideration of what each of them could give to the house.
