This project aims to honour the building’s rich architectural heritage. Our design concept draws inspiration from the Neo-Baroque period, known for its dramatic play of light and shadow, rich ornamentation, and dynamic forms.
To bring these qualities into the interior, the proposal uses high-quality and durable materials such as oak and marble, characteristic of the Neo-Baroque era. The introduction of burgundy-tinted glass adds a contrasting contemporary design element alongside organic shapes in lighting fixtures and decoration.
Tracing decorative on the facade and drawing these through to the interior, ensures continuity and maintains the building’s distinctive character.
