The aim of the present dissertation is the renovation of the Skordilis mansion which is located in Old Perithia, North Corfu and the re-use of the building as a Corfiot History Centre.  The building is a landmark, a place of great sentimental value and part of the island’s cultural heritage. It was used as a mansion and after some alterations it became the village’s primary school. The two-storey building is surrounded by a garden which used to be protected by a stone fence. The only surviving part of that fence is the arch that still functions as the entrance to the garden. The arch has a lintel with the date 1712 marked on it.  There is a second gate on the external staircase. Its lintel, which is now destroyed, used to have the date 1699 carved on it. The mansion is one of the oldest buildings in Old Perithia and that is proven by the design of the balcony. This preservable building has been abandoned for long and the scars of time are visible. At this point, the restoration proposal focuses on the reuse of the building as a cultural venue. Its location is ideal as it is pretty central and it is fairly close to the village’s guest houses. That means that it will be easier to organise and hold various events, exhibitions and conventions. The biggest part of the venue will be converted into an exhibition hall with permanent and temporary photography and model exhibitions related to the historic and architectural beauty of the traditional villages of Corfu. The cultural amenities of the venue include a screening room since one of the goals of this study is to connect the building’s present to its past and this chronicle can be best understood using audiovisual media. The design follows and highlights the original structure of the building instead of antagonising it. The construction products serve the same purpose and they are carefully selected. The design is based on simple routes, tunnels and halls.
