The work on this sensitive piece of
restoration was planned and directed by
architect José Antonio Gil-Fournier Carazo
and included the demolition of the roofs and
oors of parts of the historic 16th and 17th
century building.
The use of traditional construction techniques
and volume of wood used in the restoration
elements represented 25% of the work
involved. This included the consolidation of
the facade facing the inner courtyard and the
repair of cornices, walls, oors and roof.
PEFC-certied timber was taken from
several sawmills in the Sierra de la Demanda
region including 400m2 of Pine used in the
ooring. The total cost of the restoration
project was over€7 million. Obtaining
project certication was made possible
by the commitment of the University of
Burgos and architect José Antonio Gil-
Fournier Carazo. They saw PEFC Project
Certication as a way of both promoting
the project’s sustainability credentials and
raising awareness of the importance of using
certied timber.
Undertaken by UTE Building between October 2007 and February 2009, this was one of the
most important timber restoration projects undertaken in the Castilla y León region of Spain.
After regular auditing by AENOR during the cosntruction period,
Hospital de la Concepción became the second building project
in the world to achieve PEFC Project Project certifcation
