In connecting the parts and spaces, the old and the new elements have been brought together, clearly stressing the difference.
An Art Nouveau building which had been built on Siraselviler Street in 1903, was restorated and refurbished with additions of contemporary elements and annexes for new utilizations. The existing building consisted of a basement, a ground floor and three upper floors each with two rooms. The rooms are situated opposite to eachother on both sides of the staircase, one looking towards the street and the other towards the backyard. The basement, ground floor and the first three storys have been designed as a restaurant. With the additional floors placed in the form of a container over the previous top floor, a different working space has been created.
