The architectural intervention is grounded in respect for the heritage value of the existing facades, combined with a contemporary addition that integrates coherently into the streetscape. The extension references the neoclassical rhythm of the surrounding buildings but reinterprets it in a contemporary way with vertical concrete porticos and a transparent curtain wall. This transparency ensures that the city garden behind the building remains visible and felt from the street.

The two upper-floor apartments retain the residential function of the existing building. There is one apartment per floor, one of which is a duplex with a sunroom and terrace. The existing entrance in the facade will be clearly redefined, with separate entrances for the residential area, the retail space, and a potential basement conversion into an additional wellness area. The modifications respect the existing ornamentation, with abstract references to baseboards, cornices, and window divisions.

Within the commercial space, the heritage building on the ground floor is incorporated as an intimate zone (office, lounge, kitchen), while the new addition serves as a spacious storefront and showroom.
