Originally an abandoned colonial home, Casa Lohr has been meticulously revitalized to preserve its original structure while introducing thoughtful, modern enhancements. The thick stone walls, intricate masonry, and traditional wooden beams honor the house’s historical essence, while the open-concept layout allows natural light to flow seamlessly through the space. A standout feature of this restoration is the preserved masonry wall, an architectural relic that now serves as a striking focal point. The layout reimagines former vestibules as cozy, private bedrooms, while a newly designed extension houses the main suite, overlooking a lush courtyard and tranquil pool.
