A palmento is not “just a farmhouse”. It’s often a hybrid structure with thick masonry, irregular spans, humidity patterns and a relationship with the landscape that regulators protect.
Permits and constraints
Etna-area constraints can limit façade changes, volumes and materials. We design within these rules—because fighting them wastes months.
Cost drivers
- Structural consolidation and seismic upgrading
- Roof reconstruction and waterproofing details
- Systems (HVAC, electrical) routed discreetly
- Drainage and humidity management
Done well, a palmento becomes a boutique-level asset with genuine identity.
