Notarized Tourist Paradise

USM Modular Furniture as Manufacturers

Sun, sand and siesta: those are the attributes generally associated with Tenerife. Throughout the year, millions of tourists flock to the largest of the Canary Islands not only for its pleasant climate but for its natural variety: lush vegetation, unusual rock formations, beautiful sandy beaches and picturesque cities. La Laguna, the island’s second-largest city, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site ten years ago. The well-preserved historic city center is dominated by magnificent palaces and religious structures. This is where the notary office of Ana Maria Alvarez Lavers has set up its new headquarters. The original structure, which dates from 1780, was transformed into a modern office building while still meeting landmark preservation requirements. Once again, the USM modular furniture system shows how it can be perfectly integrated into historic structures. That, along with its high quality and absolute flexibility, impressed Alvarez Lavers. Now, she and her staff are excited to work in a modern, bright, functional environment – a successful fusion of heritage and modernity.
