required the creation of a drainage shaft, from where the waste was diverted and taken out through the existing line on the ground loor (Fig 4.53). STRUCTURE (material and construction): The intervention is a mix of old and new (Fig 4.55), and shows integration of modern methods with the existing elements. As pointed out earlier, the terrace had to be redone because of the poor quality of the existing terrace. The wooden rafters recovered as a result of this process have been reused to make the new windows. The old railings were also integrated into part of the new stairwell (Fig. 4.47). The tiles from the old terrace was used as part of a iller slab on top of the second loor verandah.
