It was decided to clearly distinguish the historical elements of the building from the newly designed ones. For this purpose, the elevations and the remaining internal walls were renovated in a way that allowed the recognition of the "ancient" elements. The historical stairs, furniture and doors were used and exposed. The new structural and finishing elements were selected so as not to compete with the historical elements.It was decided to clearly distinguish the historical elements of the building from the newly designed ones.
