Projects we have managed.

 Glavani Barn.  Glavani House.  Filipana House.  Sv.Petar Ruin.

Istra Zivot started with the renovation of a small barn in our village of Glavani, Istria in 2004. 

The floor area had to be raised above road level (approx 40cm) and the roof was raised in line with the neighbouring house. 

New window holes were knocked through and a completely new concrete first floor was added.

BEFORE

On the back of the house a balcony overlooking the new small landscaped garden was built.

The retired couple who financed this project and lived in the house for the last three years are now selling this beautifully furnished one bedroomed property. See Property for sale.

AFTER

Also in Glavani we managed the conversion of our deceased neighbour's house for the new owner. This property is now on our books for holiday rental.

Our neighbour had only used two rooms out of the four. Two had stayed shut for many years.

BEFORE

Now that all four rooms have been fully modernised and the roof has been made safe and watertight, this is a spacious property full of character.

New hand made wooden stairs, doors, windows and shutters. 

New watertight flooring throughout the first floor with quality tiling and upstairs original beams covered with wide rustic floorboards. Want a holiday to stay here? Click here.

AFTER

In the close-by village of Filipana we have started a very big project for an English customer.

He purchased an Istrian stone house with an adjoining stone barn ruin on a large plot of land.

He wishes to keep the stone house for his own use and so we started by taking the house back to just the stone walls in order to make strong concrete floors and to raise the roof height. 

THE OLD STONE HOUSE BEFORE

The barn was so deformed that the decision was taken to demolish it and to rebuild it with the same stone but with strong concrete foundations and floors.

Building permission has been sought for re-building the stone property and for two four bedroomed properties with swimming pools to be built on the land.

These two new high class properties will be built this year and are currently for sale.

THESE WILL BE TWO NEW HOUSES
