St. Athanasius Konak – Conservation and Restoration is a heritage and religious building restoration project located within the Leshok Monastery complex in Tearce.
The project involved conservation, restoration, sanitation and revitalization works on the konak, with the objective of preserving the building’s historical character while improving its structural condition, safety and long-term usability.
Unlike standard construction projects, heritage restoration requires a more restrained and technically sensitive approach. The existing structure, materials, architectural features and cultural context must be respected throughout the execution process.
For EACOM, this project represents a specialized reference in conservation and restoration works, demonstrating the company’s ability to work on culturally important buildings where precision, care and respect for the existing structure are essential.
EACOM’s scope included conservation, restoration and sanitation works for the St. Athanasius Konak, including:
Heritage restoration projects require a construction approach that differs substantially from new-build or standard reconstruction works.
The technical priority is to improve the building’s condition without compromising its historical, architectural or cultural value. This requires careful assessment, controlled intervention, preservation of original features, compatible materials and disciplined execution.
The St. Athanasius Konak project demonstrates EACOM’s capacity to execute sensitive conservation and restoration works where technical decisions must balance safety, usability and preservation.
EACOM’s execution approach focused on controlled intervention, respect for the existing structure and preservation of the building’s historical character.
The works required careful planning, attention to detail and coordination with conservation requirements to ensure that the restored structure retained its authentic appearance while becoming safer and more usable.
The completed restoration contributes to the preservation of the Leshok Monastery complex and supports the long-term protection of an important cultural and religious site.
By completing the conservation and restoration works, EACOM contributed to maintaining the architectural and historical value of St. Athanasius Konak for future use and continued cultural relevance.
