The old Hotel Asturias is located in the center of Madrid and consists of two listed buildings, one of them with structural protection and the other with integral protection. The state of the building when we took charge of it, made a quick intervention necessary. Works of restoration, conservation, rehabilitation and structural consolidation were carried out.
After dismantling interior finishes and partition walls, considerable damage was identified in the structure, which has cast-iron columns and wooden posts on the ground and first floors and timber framed walls from the second floor up. The floor slabs, with narrow-flanged steel joists and brick masonry infill vaults (revoltón).
Together with the Áliva and Proskene teams, the damaged elements are identified one by one. The wooden sill beams are reinforced and the wooden posts which were in poor condition are replaced. In those wooden posts in which the rot had not been extended to their full height, the damaged parts were replaced by wooden prostheses.

The roof of one of the buildings, made of roof tiles, is completely rehabilitated. The original tiles that were in good condition are dismantled and recovered to use them as bottom tiles, finally the recovered material is so much that it can also be reused as top imbrex tiles.
The façade is made of granite masonry on the ground and first floors and brick masonry from the second floor. During the rehabilitation, the deteriorated balcony imposts are cleaned of foreign bodies and rebuilt, the zinc waterproofing in the bay windows is recovered and the wrought iron railings are cleaned, adding a section with the same design to meet the minimum height set by the technical code.
The main staircase had sagged due to collapses in the adjacent patio and the general poor condition of the structure. The original stair well is recovered by dismantling an elevator that has no value that had been added during the 70s. The steps of each flight of stairs are leveled one by one adding the necessary wooden prostheses to correct the deformation and even the risers.

The layers of paint applied on the soffits of the stairs are removed until the wood is recovered. The balusters are cleaned and sanded, bringing back the original richness of forms.
