    BIAŁY DOM W ŁAZIENKACH KRÓLEWSKICH W WARSZAWIE Biały Dom wybudowany w latach 1774–1777 jest pierwszym pa- wilonem na terenie Łazienek Królewskich wzniesionym od podstaw na zlecenie króla Stanisława Augusta. Architekt Dominik Merlini stworzył budowlę pełną wdzięku, kameralną w swym charakterze i harmonijnie wpisującą się w otaczający krajobraz. Pawilon zachował do dzisiaj swą pierwotną formę i przetrwał II wojnę światową wraz z historycznym wystrojem. Biały Dom stanowi unikatowy w skali kraju zachowany XVIII-wieczny zespół kompletnej dekoracji wnętrza rezydencjonalnego. Przez ostatnie dwa lata w zabytku realizowane były kompleksowe prace konserwatorskie i budowlane, których głównym założeniem było zachowanie oryginalnej materii i wyeksponowanie jej wyjątko- wej wartości artystycznej oraz przywrócenie historycznego wyglądu i wystroju wnętrz. Program przeprowadzonych prac remontowych objął m.in. wzmoc- nienie konstrukcji nośnej stropu na I piętrze i więźby dachowej wraz z wymianą poszycia dachu oraz konserwację elewacji, której przywrócono pierwotny wygląd boniowania i kolorystykę. Odkryto i odbudowano okalające budynek XVIII-wieczne kanały obwodowe. Wymieniono instalację elektryczną, wodnokanalizacyjną i grzewczą, dostosowując je do obowiązujących norm i zapewniając komfort termiczny w budynku zgodny z wymogami konserwatorskimi. Obiekt dostosowano do potrzeb osób niepełnosprawnych.
