The Generalitat’s (Regional Government’s) Interior Home Renovation Plan – RENHATA Plan returns for yet another year with financial aid to renovate kitchens and bathrooms and to improve accessibility to homes.
After weeks of confinement at home, we have become more aware of what we would like to improve in our homes; that’s why it is time to carry out that kitchen or bathroom remodelling that you have thought about so many times. Perhaps you need to remodel the interior of your house to make it more accessible, in which case we can advise you by preparing a study of adaptability for your house taking into account mobility, security and tailoring the design for each specific client, without sacrificing comfort and aesthetics.
Moratal Palomino architects are experts collaborating with the RENHATA Plan; we offer a comprehensive housing renovation service, including interior design, project drafting and the processing of grants etc. Please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will offer you personal advice without obligation.
