The building, which was constructed in the 1920s, underwent a major renovation project that significantly altered both the interior and exterior spaces. This transformation removed the distinctive features of the Art Nouveau style that characterised the early 20th-century buildings. However, some decorative details were preserved to maintain a link with the architectural tradition.

The interior redesign aims to accentuate the most notable architectural features, such as the expansive circular window and the grand staircase, accentuating their majesty through expansive volumes and a clean aesthetic that amplifies their monumental presence.

The aim is to redefine the spatial layout by playing with the dynamics of dilation and compression, as well as the configuration of openings and passages, to optimise the rooms' perceived and functional value.

Regarding the exterior spaces, the project aims to restore greater variety and complexity so that they are equal to the interior in terms of aesthetic value and functionality. The goal was to create contemporary solutions that enhance the building's presence while maintaining a dialogue with its history.

The transformation is centred on the cedar of Lebanon, which, being centuries old and majestic, becomes a symbol of the continuity between the historicity of the site and the innovation of the project. This connection point, which is visual and symbolic, links nature and architecture.
